ep-251

S. Bedford said she was going to do something that all travelers say at one point or another.

I’m going to write a book about this trip

Original right?

Well, she ACTUALLY followed through and did it.

And the result is fantastic.

There’s not just one, or two, or even three travel mishaps in this one. It’s an ENTIRE collection of travel mishaps!

You can bet I was excited about that!

We chat about some of those misadventures today, as well as the process of publishing her book, and what adventures are next for her now that she’s got her book out the door.

What was your favorite misadventure? Let us know @ExtraPackofPeanuts!!

The Science of Adventure with Jon Levy

ep-250

Click here to download this episode.

Nothing good happens after 2 am – except the most epic experiences of your life!

Jon Levy explains how, by using science (yes, SCIENCE!) he went from being a nerd – before nerds were cool – to spending Thanksgiving at Kiefer Sutherland’s house, hosting dinner parties for some of the world’s most interesting people, and narrowly escaping death while running with the bulls.

His new book, The 2 AM Principle: Discover the Science of Adventure changed my mindset about adventure after about 10 minutes of reading! It’s a must-read for those of us in love with travel and adventure!

What was your most recent adventure? Let me know @ExtraPackofPeanuts!!

Budgeting and Packing as a Digital Nomad with Erin McNeaney

ep-249

Spend much time around here and you’ll learn at least one thing.

Travel doesn’t have to be expensive.

Erin McNeaney and her husband Simon have been showing that for even longer than we have!

They love to track their expenses and see what they’re spending so much that they created an app that helps you do just that! TrailWallet is an iOS app that helps track your travel spend so you know what you’ve spent an where.

Over on NeverEndingVoyage.com they also write about something else dear to my heart; packing in a carry-on!

They’ve been traveling the world in just carry-ons for longer than I’ve been trying to convince you to do the same ;)

Today we also chat about what caused Erin and Simon to become digital nomads and their plans for the first winter in 7 years!

Let us know what your carry-on luxury item would be @ExtraPackofPeanuts!!

Norway
Georgia (the country!)
Greece
England
Scotland

We ran the gamut of weather, prices, and foods on our travels and today we’re here to talk about our top 5 foods, accommodations, and experiences from our trip. Including how many pounds we’ve collectively gained!
