Rich Travel, Poor Travel, with George Igoe


Click here to download this episode.

Our motto is “travel more while spending less”. George’s is probably, “spend as little as possible, but make the flights fancy”

George Igoe travels the world in First & Business class, but lives the economy lifestyle when he’s back on the ground.

And he made a hilarious web series about it.

Today George joins me to talk about cheap travel, how we use our points and the nitty-gritty behind making a travel series like this one. If you’ve ever been interested in how travel videos come about, there is some great information here for you!

George also shares his money-saving tip while on the ground, though it may be a hard decision to make!

Getting Out of Your Comfort Zone with Nate Menninger

Ep-272v2

Click here to download this episode.

Nate Menninger has spent the past several months relying on the kindness of strangers. From dogs in the wilderness to someone he met once for an hour becoming his travel buddy, it’s all about trust.

Pushing your comfort zone can be tough no matter what that means for you. Maybe buying that plane ticket does it, maybe running with the bulls, or showing up somewhere with nowhere to stay.

The best part though is coming through that challenge and growing, learning more about yourself and the people around you as you go on these crazy adventures.

Nate joins me today to share some of his stories about the people he’s met along the way, and how he’s pushed his comfort zone time and time again.

How have you pushed your comfort zone through travel? Share your story with me @ExtraPackofPeanuts!!

If you’ve listened before, you’ll remember me not being a big fan of London, but I’ve changed my tune quite a bit!

While I still won’t admit that English food is very good, we’ve found a couple of places I really enjoy, and this last time in London was quite a lot of fun!

Today Heather joins me to talk about our favorite areas of the city, some of the best places to eat, and a TON of things to do. From free museums (yes, free!) to a great way to see shows for cheap, we have some great tips for the budget traveler in today’s episode!
