Our Awesome Roadtrip Playlist

EP-178

Back by popular demand:

Napkins!

Today Napkins takes us to the airport while we discuss our must-have albums for any road trip.

I’m stuck in the past (2001 or earlier or it doesn’t exist), Heather tries to keep up with the times, and Napkins rides the line with a little bit of both.

We mention awesome stuff, we forget awesome stuff, and we also almost miss a couple of turns on our way to Newark.

Did we miss one of your favorites? Do YOU have any idea who Pat McGee is? Let us know in the comments below!

16 Summer Roadtrips around the U.S.A.

Ep-176

We take a little time during our current road trip to discuss some road trips that we love or would love to do around the United States.

It is, after all, made for road trips!

We discuss road trips all over the country, our favorites, our dishonorable mentions, and of course the ones that break the rules!

These would be great options for summer trips, especially in some of the areas that have harsh winters, or to get away from the harsh winters a little earlier!

Interested in a particular road trip? They’re listed below, but beware of spoilers!

Pencils of Promise with Adam Braun

Ep-174

A big part of the idea at EPoP is giving back to the community. And the way that we do that?

Pencils of Promise

We were fortunate enough with the Paradise Pack to raise enough funds so that in conjunction with Pencils of Promise we were able to fund the building of a school in Guatemala

We built a school!

And we couldn’t have done it without YOU! (We’really excited!)

Today, the founder of Pencils of Promise, Adam Braun, joins me for an overview of Pencils of Promise, how it came to be, and how travel has completely changed his life, time and time again.

Jason will be taking over the interview baton and interviewing Adam as well this week for a more in-depth look at the Pencils of Promise organization, so be sure to head over to Zero to Travel to check out the other half of this interview!
