Summer Destinations Part 1: International

Extra Pack of Peanuts Podcast Summer Destinations Part 1: International

With travel opening back up, where do you want to go first (internationally)? Because we loved this topic so much we are splitting this conversation into two episodes and therefore splitting our list in two as well. Today, we will be covering our international destinations that currently (May 2021) have their borders open to vaccinated tourists (& only a couple that we are still waiting on).

If you are craving travel as much as we are, this episode will fill your travel list with some great accessible international destinations.

Today’s podcast is sponsored by Oregon State University ECampus.

Destination Diary: Bulgaria w/ Mitko Karshovski

Destination Diary Bulgaria w/ Mitko Karshovski

Typically, our destination diary episodes are Heather and I riffing on a place that we’ve traveled to, but every so often I meet someone who knows a place so well, I just have to have them come on and talk about it. And, even though Bulgaria is very high on my list, I didn’t want to have to wait a year or so to put out an episode on it because I don’t want other people to wait that long to go.

Joining me today is someone who has been kind enough to bring me beers from Cincinnati and bring Whit a stuffed Hey Hey doll from Moana, who has taught me everything (literally, everything) I know about Bulgaria, who is an integral part of our Location Indie team, and who can spur wanderlust in me about as quick as any person I’ve ever met, Mitko Karshovski from ThatRemoteLife.com and host of the That Remote Show podcast.

Today’s episode has been sponsored by our friends at Tortuga Backpacks. Check them out for the best travel backpacks!
