In this episode of Trip Tales, host Kelsey Graves sits down with friends Dr. Judy Oskam, a professor at Texas State University and host of the Stories of Change and Creativity podcast, and Wendy Conklin, a renowned chair stylist behind the popular Instagram account @chairwhimsy. Together, they share the unforgettable experience of traveling to Amsterdam in July 2024 with their adult daughters, who have been friends since elementary school.
From strolling the cobblestone streets and exploring charming cafés to admiring the iconic canals and visiting a picturesque windmill farm in the countryside, this mother-daughter adventure was capped off with the ultimate highlight—a night to remember at the epic Taylor Swift Eras Tour concert.
