When it comes to traveling the world, there aren’t many places we WOULDN’T want to go to. But if we were to put down roots for three months, we’re a bit pickier.
Being location independent has its perks! In this episode, Heather and I discuss the top 16 cities and regions in the world where we’d love to spend three months, and what we love most about each one.
Whether it’s a great place for digital nomads with good internet and a thriving entrepreneurial community, a great beach destination, a hiker’s dream, or just a chill place with a chill vibe, we’re dreaming about where we might move next!
How about you? If you could be dropped anywhere in the world for 3 months, where would you want to live? Tweet us @ExtraPackofPeanuts!

Ever found yourself crying in the car on the way home from work because you’re just so tired and emotionally drained from your job?
Katrina did. And after some serious unpacking and working it through she found her answer:
A Career Break.
But being a planner, she took it to the next level. Building in buffer time to re-climate to life back home and allow herself time to get a job, and saving $40,000.00 to take the trip of her dreams.
Today Katrina shares how she came to the conclusion that she needed a break, her planning and budgeting process, and more about her re-entry into the corporate world after 20 months away.
In Part 1 Jacob talked a lot about how to make sustainable change.
Today we’re gonna chat more about change, and how it’s influenced GREATLY by your mindset.
We’ll also chat about how money is a socially acceptable excuse for deeper fears, and how both Jacob and I are establishing home bases that are allowing us to evolve our businesses to the next level.
Jacob has a ton of great advice and insights on business & life, so be sure to listen close.
Let us know in the comments what the ONE BIG THING you took away from this interview was. Through all of this at least one thing had to spark an idea, let us know what it is and how you’re going to change your relationships or environment to make it a sustainable change!
Heather and I love sweets, and not just for dessert!
Today we recount our search of the globe for the world’s best sweet treats. From Thailand to Philadelphia we’ll give you some places to visit just for the sweets!!
Our loves range from ice cream and creme brulee to fruit tarts and peanuts (we did get an extra pack of them after all….)
