Pop Culture Passport - Exploring Quirky & Cool Travel Destinations in the USA
Pop Culture Passport is your guide to quirky and cool travel destinations across the USA. Every other week, we explore unique things to do, from movie and TV filming locations and theme parks to roadside attractions, quirky museums, regional foods, and the fascinating stories behind the places you visit.
If you'd happily add 60 minutes to your trip to visit a filming location, the Jell-O Museum, a legendary roadside attraction, or a local spot with an incredible backstory, this podcast is for you.
I'm Beth Schillaci, aka the Roaming Yeti. I'm a travel content creator, pop culture nerd, and firm believer that the best discoveries happen when you layer a little curiosity on top of wherever you're already headed. I call them side quests: the detours, the unexpected stops, the "wait, THAT'S here?" moments that make any trip unforgettable and personal.
Whether you're planning a dedicated trip or looking for the perfect thing to add to somewhere you're already going, a work trip, a family visit, or a drive through a new city, there's always something worth the detour.
Think of this as traveling with your slightly nerdy, sort-of-cool friend who loves deep dives, unexpected discoveries, and finding the story behind the story.

Episode 13
In this episode, I speak with Julie Gaver about group travel for women. Julie is an entrepreneurial speaker, corporate trainer, and coach. She is well known for her high-energy presentations and ability to connect with audiences in memorable ways. A master storyteller, Julie uses a witty blend of theatrics and experience to make learning fun!
Julie is also the author of the three-part women’s book series Must Love Shoes and challenges her readers to see life’s meaning, lessons, and humor. The launch of her books stimulated such interest that Julie ultimately created a niche market designed for women, which encompasses personal and professional development opportunities, domestic and international retreats, book club discussions, and unique social events designed to bring women together for fun, learning, and camaraderie.
In addition, she is the proud founder and director of “Soles of Love in the Garden,” a passion project which has collected and distributed over 27,000 new shoes and winter boots to local children in need over the past twelve years.
