84: Ticket 2 | Soccer in the USA: Travel to Copa America 2024

It's like the World Cup, but for the Western Hemisphere... Copa America, that is! And it's happening in Summer 2024 in our hometown of LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA.

Since Leah is a longtime fan of soccer (and actually played for 8 years growing up! Until she didn't make the high school team 😞 ), and Copa America 2024 tickets are already on sale as of February 2024, we wanted to release this time sensitive episode, especially as this is only the 2nd time in the oldest tournament in the world's history that it is being held across the USA.

Copa America is like the World Cup for men's national soccer (football) teams across Latin America, lately introducing more Central American and North American teams. This travel episode will detail how to get tickets, best cities to go to in order to watch, how to travel between or in some of those cities, and more sporting event tips.

Share this episode with a friend who loves soccer (football)!
