London Royalty, Irish Castles & Greek Sunsets: A Global Journey with Kevin McCullough & Linda Perillo

This week’s episode of That Passport LIFE is nothing short of a passport-stamping, memory-making whirlwind. With Kevin McCullough and Linda Perillo at the helm, listeners were swept through three of Europe’s most unforgettable destinations: regal London, majestic Ireland, and the sun-kissed serenity of Greece. If you’ve ever dreamt of sipping tea like a royal, sleeping in a medieval castle, or watching the sun melt into the Aegean Sea, this episode is your permission slip to go.

The London Leg: Crowns, Charm, and Classic Elegance

Kevin and Linda begin their journey in London, where history and modern style collide like few places on Earth. They share firsthand tales of visiting Buckingham Palace, walking the Mall, and experiencing the kind of old-world refinement that makes you stand up a little straighter.

Linda dishes on the secret joys of The Goring Hotel—a royal favorite just steps from the palace—and Kevin waxes poetic about a particular afternoon tea that felt like time-travel to another era. Their chemistry is part travelogue, part comedy, and all heart. You’ll feel like you’re tagging along with two hilarious, well-connected friends who just happen to know where all the best scones are hiding.

Plus, they both shout out the unexpectedly thrilling experience of Churchill’s War Rooms and the unbeatable energy of London’s theater scene—reminding us that London isn’t just for monarchs; it’s for memory-makers.

Into the Emerald Wilds: Castles and Craic in Ireland

From the buzz of London, Kevin and Linda take us to the peaceful green of Ireland, where ancient stone castles, pub songs, and sheep-speckled hills await. They recount their magical stay at Ashford Castle, one of the most enchanting places on Earth. Think fireplaces, falconry, and that quiet luxury you can’t fake.

Linda brings Ireland’s warmth to life with stories of unplanned pub stops in County Clare, where live music and strong pints transform strangers into friends. Kevin offers a thoughtful take on what makes Ireland so grounding—the sense of heritage, of stories layered deep into the land, and of a people who welcome you like you’ve been coming for generations.

It’s not just a postcard view—it’s the soul of a place. And Kevin and Linda capture it beautifully.

Greece: Sunsets, Simplicity, and Something Sacred

Then comes the crescendo: Greece. With stops in Santorini, Naxos, and more, the hosts bring you straight into that postcard scene—white-washed houses, cliffside cafés, cobalt domes, and food that feels like love.

Kevin talks about sailing the Santorini caldera at sunset, watching the sky go molten over the sea. Linda, a self-described Greek salad aficionado, confesses that even the simplest dishes in Greece hit different. Maybe it’s the soil, the sea breeze, or just the way life slows down there—but both hosts agree: Greece is a place that rewires your soul.

And then there’s the food. They describe an unforgettable lunch—freshly grilled octopus, olives harvested yards away, wine with a volcanic mineral bite—and listeners can practically smell the sea air.

The Magic of the Hosts

What sets this episode apart isn’t just the destinations—it’s the dynamic between Kevin and Linda. Kevin brings the structure, the storytelling, the “here’s what you need to know.” Linda brings spontaneity, warmth, and that perfect eye for detail that only a seasoned traveler (and a travel insider) can deliver.

Together, they paint a rich picture of what travel is supposed to be: not just about going places, but about being there—feeling the pulse of a city, the hush of a castle hallway, the salt air on your skin.

They laugh, they reflect, they go off-script in all the right ways. And they remind us that travel is at its best when it’s shared—with friends, with loved ones, with someone who sees the wonder alongside you.

Don’t Just Dream—Listen and Go

Whether you’re looking to plan your next big escape or just want to wander vicariously with two fantastic storytellers, this episode of That Passport LIFE is a must.

You’ll learn:

Where to find a hidden royal tea room in London

Which Irish castle offers the best falconry experience

The name of the Greek island where tomatoes taste like sunshine
And most importantly, why travel is still the best therapy

So pour a cup of something warm (or something bubbly), press play, and take the trip from your headphones.

Kevin McCullough and Linda Perillo are saving you a window seat on this unforgettable journey.
