Living A Wild Nomad Life w/ Uwe Allgäuer

Extra Pack of Peanuts podcastLiving A Wild Nomad Life w: Uwe Allgäuer

Joining me today is someone who is a founder through and through – he’s founded a coworking space in Bansko, Bulgaria, a Nomad Sailing Retreat, and who has just started another project called “Wild Nomad Safari”, Uwe Allgäuer from Wildnomadsafari.com. We are diving into what it’s like to have multiple businesses running at one time, the importance of having a community of like-minded people, & why you need to have time to connect and time to disconnect. (This was recorded pre-COVID-19 so dates discussed have changed)

Top 10 Favorite States

Extra Pack of Peanuts Podcast Top 10 Favorite States

Today is all about Heather & I’s top 5 favorite states we have been to and that means it is time for some good-hearted disagreements and maybe a mention or two of a few states that we still want to visit. This is another episode idea straight from our “Ask Us Anything” call-out on Instagram but we knew this would definitely need its own full episode. Of course, this wouldn’t be a “Top List” without some honorable mentions so who do you think had the most of those?

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

Only One Country…For The Rest Of Our Lives

Extra Pack Of Peanuts Podcast Only One Country...For The Rest Of Our Lives

 

Today we are answering one of our listener’s questions that we received through our Instagram account and we thought it was so good that it deserved its own podcast episode. We all know how much Travis loves his lists and he agonized over it up until this recording (TBH it was during the recording as well) while Heather was able to put her’s together in less than 5 minutes but that is not to say that there wasn’t a ton of pros and cons to navigate. The question is (drumroll please…) if you could only go back to one country for the rest of your life, where would you choose?

And of course, Trav has his ground rules for this question & is the flip flop master which you will hear when you check out this episode.
