The Camino is a pilgrimage that people have been making for over a thousand years.
A physical, emotional, and spiritual journey to the far end of northwest Spain.
And one that has become incredibly popular in the last 10 years with people looking to get away from it all and take time to reflect.
Today, I’m very fortunate to bring my twin sister, who has spent the last two years living in Santiago de Compostela (the ending point of the Camino) and working with pilgrims, to shine a light on this incredible travel experience.
Gale gives you tips on everything you need to know about hiking the Camino, from what routes to take and the best times of year to walk to what you should pack and how to (potentially) avoid blisters!
And if you have any questions, she promises to answer them in the comments below, so fire away!
What’s better than having all the conveniences of home while you’re away?
Getting them for free.
We’re all about traveling more while spending less, and getting free accommodations is THE way to spend less. So what is it we did? Housesitting
An ever-growing community of people who opens their homes to people in exchange for the knowledge that their property and sometimes pets will be well cared for in their absence.
Today Heather joins me as we run through some of the best tips and tricks on how to find your first housesit and once you get it, what to do next.
We had a great time housesitting in beautiful Breckenridge, Colorado and we want you to be able to get your own awesome housesitting gigs all over the world. Let us know where you’ll be applying to housesit in the comments below!
Today Jason joins me once again to discuss some of the most beautiful places on earth. Or perhaps to break the rules and throw in honorable mentions left and right. One of these days I’ll make him stick to the rulebook.
From places you can’t even pronounce (don’t worry, we can’t either) to locations that might be just a drive away we travel the world with our choices. And after this episode, you’ll be yearning to travel too.
Where are some of the most beautiful places you’ve been? Do you agree with some of our choices? Let us know in the comments!
When you follow me on social media you might think that my travel was all delicious food, great beer, and amazing vistas. You’d be wrong.
Those things do happen (quite a lot actually), but there are moments in between when things go just a touch sideways.
Those are the moments that you’ll remember forever.
Heather joins me today to talk about two of our worst travel mishaps; you’ve heard bits and pieces of the stories these past 73 episodes and it’s finally time to tell the whole story.

What happens when you put two digital nomads on a podcast together?
We geek out about location independent lifestyles.
Today, we have on Rob from Making It Anywhere, a site that shows people how to start making a living while traveling the world.
From questions like
“I want to be a Digital Nomad, but where on earth do I start?” to “I don’t have the kind of skills for location independence.”
we cover it all.
We chat about how Rob and Mish (his wife and business partner) started their journey to becoming digital nomads through Fiverr and Elance before slowly moving their way up the digital ladder to bigger projects and income streams.
Advice on every topic relating to being a digital nomad is discussed, from where to start and how to think outside the box to travel schedules and finding other like-minded people on the road.
If there’s one thing to take away from this podcast, it’s this:
