Our Favorite Memories of Locals

Ep-143

People have lots of reasons that they travel, but for us what makes traveling awesome are the people.

Getting a chance to hang out with the locals usually leads to some of the best moments of our trips. For that reason, we recorded the 16 ways to meet locals over on Jason’s podcast Zero to Travel.

As a sister podcast to that episode, we thought we’d share our favorite moments where spending time with the locals filled our tummies and our hearts, with joy.

How do you meet the locals when you travel? What stories do you have to share?

Destination Diaries- Croatia

Destination-Diaries-Croatia

Croatia is a land of beautiful beaches, well preserved historical sites, and delicious fried calamari.

In today’s episode, Heather and I take a look back at our 3 weeks in Eastern Europe, most notably, the time we spent on the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia from Split to Dubrovnik.

From walking the walls of a historical city to exploring abandoned resorts and delicious mini pizzas to giant meat platters, this episode is a great overview of the sights and tastes of Croatia.

We’ll share some of the best places we stayed, ate, and adventured, and make you long for the clear waters and brilliant views that make up the Dalmatian Coast.
