New Episodes are LIVE!

Hosted by two professional travel advisors — who also happen to be two huge nerds - Destination Fandom Podcast invites you to discover the ways to explore the globe through the lens of your favorite fandoms.

From conventions and themed cafes to filming locations and immersive experiences, each episode is a portal to a new realm where all things nerdy meet the excitement of travel!

Vampy Vampires P.1

From the lamp-lit streets of New Orleans to the mountains of Transylvania, fans of vampire fiction can find plenty of places to sink their teeth into. Discover catacombs, coffin hotels, and even vamps of the sparkly Washington State variety in this episode!

Ashley D’Aristotile

And meet Ashley, a travel advisor specializing in European travel, based in Orlando Florida. Ashley completely lacks hand-eye coordination and has never played a sport, so naturally, she worked in the world of athletic team travel for many years. Ashley has never met a cheese she doesn’t like (…brie is on thin ice though…) She has a young daughter who likes musical theatre, a parrot who likes salsa music, and is slowly losing her hearing and sanity by living with them.

Your Hosts

Erin Faith Erdos

Meet Erin, a high-functioning nerd, Travel Professional and Virtual Support specialist from Nashville, Tennessee. Erin was a Flute Performance major so she went with the logical choice and worked in comedy for ten years before realizing that she’d rather be her own boss and work from a Disney resort lobby instead. Erin has a cat, and a partner, both of which are very cute but only one of them tends to sit on her when she's working.
