Destination Diary – Slovenia


For a country the size of New Jersey, there is a LOT to see!

Heather and I spent 4 days of our babymoon in Slovenia, and it lived up to all of our expectations and then some.

Delicious food, amazing gelato, and gorgeous drives make this country one that really packs a punch.

Join Heather and I as we go through our trip and share the best food, the best places to visit, and of course my new #1 favorite gelato place in the whole world! I definitely wasn’t expecting that when we decided to go to Slovenia!

Destination Diary – Portland (Update!)


Portland is definitely our most visited city in the USA, and it might even be my favorite city!

Since our last Destination Diary, we’ve been back to Portland multiple times, and it’s time for an update!

Sean Ogle rejoins us on the podcast after several years to share his insider perspective on Portland and share some of his favorite spots around the city. Turns out he was holding out on us while we were there! Guess we’ll just have to go back!

We talk about some of the best restaurants in town, including brunch, pizza, food carts, happy hour, and just plain weird. As one of the best cities in the states for coffee, breweries, and desserts we of course touch on these as well. My favorite ice cream shop is there after all, how could we not talk about it!

What are you the most excited about visiting in Portland? Let us know @ExtraPackOfPeanuts!!

Destination Diary – Asheville, North Carolina

Ep-274

Click here to download this episode directly

We liked Asheville so much that we ended up there twice last year!

Lately, we’ve had quite a few people asking us for our recommendations to Asheville, and when I went to send them this episode, it didn’t exist, so here we are!

Heather joins me today to oust her favorite donuts (Beilers Donuts in Philly) for a new all-time favorite!

We also discuss some other favorite places to eat, and of course, our favorite breweries. Cause you can’t talk about Asheville without talking about craft beer!

What are your favorite places in Asheville? Let us know @ExtraPackOfPeanuts!!
