Budgeting and Packing as a Digital Nomad with Erin McNeaney

ep-249

Spend much time around here and you’ll learn at least one thing.

Travel doesn’t have to be expensive.

Erin McNeaney and her husband Simon have been showing that for even longer than we have!

They love to track their expenses and see what they’re spending so much that they created an app that helps you do just that! TrailWallet is an iOS app that helps track your travel spend so you know what you’ve spent an where.

Over on NeverEndingVoyage.com they also write about something else dear to my heart; packing in a carry-on!

They’ve been traveling the world in just carry-ons for longer than I’ve been trying to convince you to do the same ;)

Today we also chat about what caused Erin and Simon to become digital nomads and their plans for the first winter in 7 years!

Let us know what your carry-on luxury item would be @ExtraPackofPeanuts!!

ep-247

If you’ve been following our adventures, you’ve probably seen some awesome pictures from our 2 month trip around Europe.

Norway
Georgia (the country!)
Greece
England
Scotland

We ran the gamut of weather, prices, and foods on our travels and today we’re here to talk about our top 5 foods, accommodations, and experiences from our trip. Including how many pounds we’ve collectively gained!

The Bluffworks Blazer with Stefan Loble

ep-246

Ever wondered how to bring along a blazer on your trip for that fancy event you’re attending and wondered how you’ll also pack light?
Or maybe you just want to look amazing walking through the streets of London or Paris?
Or maybe you don’t really care about fashion, but getting a good travel jacket is hard.

Stefan Loble fixed your problem, no matter which one of them it is!

He’s the founder of Bluffworks, the makers of my favorite pair of travel pants, and he’s back on the podcast to talk to us about their new product.

The Bluffworks Blazer

Stefan shares his stories, both horror, and success, around the creation of the Bluffworks Blazer and teases us with what’s up next from the company.

We also share a way that you can win your own blazer as well, so be sure to listen for the code!
