Today we’re giving the Extra Pack of Peanuts Team a break and re-running one of our favorite episodes of all time. If you missed it the first time around, now’s your chance to hear Sailing Bo’s awesome story, complete with one of the most hilarious travel mishaps we’ve had yet.
If you didn’t know how to sail but wanted to circumnavigate the globe, what would your first action be?
Bo Cordle bought a sailboat.
That he didn’t really know how to sail (but he had read a book once..).
Today Bo joins us to talk about his dream to sail around the world, how he came up with the idea, what he’s been doing to prepare for his trip (like learning how to sail), and how he ended up getting flogged in a Russian sauna.
We also speak quite a bit about his famous bucket list, which includes everything from singing karaoke to living abroad, and how it helped him to discover his passion.
Bo and I would love to hear what some of the items on YOUR bucket list are, so please leave them in the comments below! We’ll be putting some of ours there as well!

Yesterday, Robb and David talked about their strategies for saving up money for their various trips around the globe.
Today, we talk about how they’re saving money on their current, open-ended trip. We discuss their $50 dollar a day budget, how they manage their money while on the road, and how flexibility plays into it, both for better and for worse.
These guys make Heather and I look like we frivolously throw our money around (despite our loose budgeting strategies)! We’ve learned a lot from them over the past couple of weeks, and hopefully, you’ll learn something new as well!

I don’t have enough money. I love my career. I’ve got too much debt.

Today, we tackle one idea in particular.
Saving money for your travels.
Robb and David share their strategies for earning more money and spending less in preparation for amazing adventures around the globe.

When you’re on your vacation, one of the last things you want is to be sick.
But sometimes it happens.
If you do get sick or injured during your travels it can be a challenge to figure out what exactly you should do. Being in a different culture, with different rules, can make us feel even more powerless in the face of our injuries, but it doesn’t have to be that way.
In our travels around the world, we’ve experienced everything from eye infections and the common cold to major knee issues and emergency room visits. Through our various experiences seeking medical assistance in other countries, we’ve come up with 8 tips and tricks if you get sick while traveling.
Have you had an experience seeking medical care in a different country? What tips do you have to share?

The sweet spot between comfort, convenience, and cost.
Everyone has a different travel style, and as you become a more seasoned traveler, that style can change. Today Heather joins me to talk about how our travel style has changed over the last 4 years of travel (much to Heather’s delight).
We share the 6 areas in which we’ve made the biggest changes and we tell you why and how we made those changes.
Travel is different for everyone, the key is to find the sweet spot for you to get the most out of your travel experiences. So come along, and lets TravPack!
Let us know where you make allowances or cutbacks to make your travel style the perfect one for you in the comments below!
