Extra Pack Of Peanuts Travel Podcast : Travel More, Spend Less

Why did it take me over a month to record a 3 minute podcast - and what’s this new series all about, anyway?

Horses and dolphins and groups of stingrays (called a fever???)...OH MY! Here are our 20 best experiences, including getting my bike stolen, Whit as a cowboy, dimly lit Bulgarian bowling alleys, and lots and lots of salt!

This episode has it all - a special guest host doing the intro, debates over food truck pizza, "pork bread", and an unanimous #1 that left us with full bellies and full hearts.  One of our best shows of all time. 

Ohhhh, here we go...gimme that sugar rush! We're talking desserts...everything from a lemon tart that was "the best in the world" even after a day in the refrigerator to Trav finding his new favorite ice cream of all time.  Plus...nuts????

Heather drank a lot of coffee...and wine...and cocktails this year (and hey, I had some myself!).  In this episode, we break down our favorites, including a speakeasy that's in a flower shop, a speakeasy that's REALLY a speakeasy, and Heather's favorite coffee...not just of the year, but of all time!

Episode 2 of our 6 part Year in Review answers all the burning question, like "what was the craziest thing we did this year?", "what was our worst accommodation" (hint: it had an abandoned building next to it), "is having a golf cart life changing", and "do old Soviet hotels have gun shooting ranges in them?"   Stories abound, so hit play and have a listen!

For the 8th straight year - and after a 1 year hiatus - we are back baby with our 6 part Year in Review. And in Episode 1 - Travel Stats, Trav gets to nerd out on all the numbers.  How many places did we sleep last year?  Where were they?  Did one of us spend multiple nights on an airplane?  How many miles did we fly?  And what new places did we have the good fortune of visiting?  All these answers, and more, jam packed in this episode.

In our Campfire Chat series, I sit down with the people you'll get to meet at our adult summer camp and largest event of the year, Camp Indie. In this episode, you'll hear from three of our past campers - Cassidy Scott, an accountant who has been able to build her lifestyle around what she wants (travel, stickers, fun!), Mellissa de Oliveira, who finally got laid off - and was happy about it, and Martie McNabb, whose camper, Brooklyn, was the star of the show at Camp Indie 2021. If you're looking to break free of the 9-5 or are already a digital nomad, traveler, or entrepreneur then join us at the ultimate adult summer camp. Whether you’re just starting out or have been on this path for years, you’ll advance toward the lifestyle you want to lead (while having a blast at summer camp).  www.campindie.com

For the 9th (!!!) year in a row we are back with the 16 unexpected things we are thankful for in 2022 - and a teaser on what's coming up with the EPOP podcast.  Happy Thanksgiving!

Rob Abasolo is called the "King of Short Term Rentals" and he has used AirBnB to quit his job, make waaaay more money than before, and do the stuff he loves (like building tiny houses, renovating motels, and giving people epic experiences).  But it wasn't always that way - in fact, his very first short term rental project that was supposed to take 3 months took 13!   It's no secret that I am a massive fan of real estate and short term rentals specifically, and so not only do Rob and I geek out on short term rentals on the podcast, but... ...we are also running a totally free 2 day workshop called "The 3 Biggest Myths About Short Term Rentals" on Oct 25th and 26th. Click here to join the workshop - it's totally free! So even if you don't know anything about short term rentals or if it's right for you, here's your chance to learn from two experts who learned the hard way!

What happens when someone in Canada, Thailand, and New York sit down with Trav to discuss lifestyle freedom?  Well...it gets deep...and fun...and we all learn what it's like to have 5 daughters (true story!) This is part of our Location Indie podcast, hence the different opening.  If you like it, check out Location Indie in your podcast feed!
