Travel Stats: 2017 in Review


Every year that we break down all our travel stats, best meals, superlatives, best drinks, etc we hear a ton of feedback from you all.

Apparently, these are some of your favorite episodes.

So this year we’re doing it a bit differently. We’ll be running a 6 part series (!!!) that covers our stats, the superlatives, best meals, best drinks, and more as we head into 2018, ending with our travel wishlist for this new year!

In this episode, we cover the nerdy statistics of 2017. We’ll figure out about how many miles we traveled, how many different places we slept in, and how many new countries we visited plus much, much more!

So if you’re into the numbers, or would like to compare your stats with ours have a listen! And then definitely reach out to @ExtraPackofPeanuts and let us know some of your stats, especially if you beat us for places stayed!

Mountain Biking Around the World (including Greenland!) with Mike Brcic

Mike Brcic, the founder of Sacred Rides, never imagined he’d have the world’s #1 mountain bike tour company in the world.

All he really wanted to do was get paid to take people on awesome trails around British Columbia.

That was 21 years ago, and since, he’s not only grown his business to great heights, but he’s also been able to take people mountain biking all over the world (yes, including Greenland)!

Mike talks about how they pick destinations, where they find the guides, and what a trip entails and also discusses why anyone, even someone who has never ridden a mountain bike before, can go on a trip…and why they should.

Plus, Mike discusses the charity he has set up and of course, tells us his biggest travel mishap (which happened very far from Greenland!)

Where would you want to go mountain biking? Share with us at @ExtraPackofPeanuts!!

300th Episode Special! – 30 Rapid Fire Questions

To celebrate 4.5 years and 300 episodes (!!!), Trav and Heather decide to have a little fun and grill one another by putting each other on the hot seat and answering 15 travel questions apiece.

The person on the hot seat has no idea what questions will be asked and has to give the first answer that comes into their head for questions ranging from “what’s your favorite accommodation ever” to “when were you the most frustrated with me while traveling” and everything in between.

How Much $ Did Frequent Flyer Miles Save Us in 2017?

Sometimes, we take frequent flyer miles for granted because we’ve been using them for so long.

So last night I sat down, opened up a spreadsheet, and figured out EXACTLY how much money frequent flyer miles saved us in 2017.

To find out what that number is, plus learn why Heather thinks that’s not the “real” number and whether or not she’d pay out of pocket for a business class ticket, check out today’s podcast!

If you want to start saving thousands (maybe even tens of thousands) of dollars a year by travel hacking, check out our brand new Frequent Flyer Bootcamp, the #1 travel hacking course in the world!
