Getting away from the city to spend a few days relaxing in a cabin surrounded by nature is a great way to wind down. Amy & Curtis LOVE to stay in cabins when they explore different areas so they can enjoy time by the campfire, relax while listening to the sounds of nature, and sometimes, do activities like kayaking or hiking. Hear about their most memorable cabin getaways in this episode!

My mom and I finish the quiz about American dialects we started last week to discover whether we speak the same way as other people from our region.
During our conversation, we also discuss regional vocabulary and accents from distinct sociocultural regions across the United States, including the South, the West Coast, New England, Texas, the Midwest and more.
You'll certainly learn a bit more about regional American cultures as well!
