Starting A Hostel with Brent Underwood

ep-255

Click here to download this episode.

Brent has traveled the world and visited over 150 hostels in 30 countries.

Along the way, he had decided to start his own hostel, like many travelers contemplate.

But when the conditions presented themselves, he jumped on the chance and is now the owner of HK Austin, an awesome mansion from 1862 turned modern-day hostel.

Today Brent joins me to chat about his journey from travel junkie, to travel junkie who also owns a hostel and some of the steps involved in the process.

We also discuss the differences in the perception of hostels between Europe and the United States, and his quirky journey to becoming an “Amazon Bestseller”.

You can check out the hostel here, but one condition; you have to let us know what your favorite Taco joint is if you go!

Where is your favorite hostel? Let us know @ExtraPackofPeanuts!!

Top 32 Cities in the USA – Part 1

Ep-225

Jason is BACK!

It’s been a while since we’ve had Jason on, so it’s great to have him back today to talk about our favorite cities, towns, and/or hamlets in the good ol’ U S of A.

Jason has a bit of leg up on me for this one, as he spent years touring around the United States as an Event Manager in all kinds of awesome, and hilarious, vehicles.

We discuss the best gelato outside of Italy, the specific charms of a college town, and all manner of foodstuffs and beer in our meanderings around the country.

Here on the EPoP Podcast, we’re only doing Part 1 of the podcast, counting down to our top 8. We’ll be finishing up the list over on the Zero to Travel podcast, so make sure to head on over and check out the rest of the list!
