When travel becomes your life, sometimes it can get a little tiring.
It may sound absurd and we know how lucky we are, but travel burnout is a real thing and today Jason, Heather, and myself sit down to a roundtable discussion on the topic.
We talk about specific instances of travel burnout and how you can start to see the signs. Tips and tricks on how to avoid burnout are also discussed along with some great backstory on our new project, Location Indie.
Have you ever experienced travel burnout? What did you do to remedy the situation?
Ever wanted to go on vacation, but didn’t want to spend hours and hours making the decision and planning all the details?
Well, now you don’t have to.
Magical Mystery Tours will provide you with your location, your flight, your transportation, and even your activities if you wish! All you do is fill out a survey, and they’ll handle the rest.
You’ll be completely in the dark until you arrive at the airport to board your flight.
Today one of the founders of Magical Mystery Tours, Denise Chaykun, joins me to talk about how she got into travel, how she started planning mystery tours for her friends, and what exactly one can expect when they book a surprise trip somewhere in the world.
What are your thoughts on showing up at the airport with no knowledge of your destination? Could you handle the suspense?
Flight prices vary dramatically, sometimes every hour. And it can leave you feeling like you if you just knew one extra thing or looked one other place, you might have been able to save yourself hundreds of dollars.
So what if you knew how to get the cheapest flights every single time?
What if you had a process that was simple yet thorough, making sure you looked everywhere but also didn’t take up a lot of time?
Now, you can!
In today’s episode, Jason and I break down our 10 general rules for getting cheap flights – from what days of the week are the cheapest to how to “trick the computer” – and then reveal our eight-step process we use to ensure that we get the best flights.
Learn this, use this, and never pay full price again.
Today, Jason joins me as we discuss the benefits of traveling during different times of the year. We outline what usually makes a shoulder season or off-peak season and discuss the pros (and cons) of traveling during each.
We also list some of our favorite off-season destinations along with the reasons why they’re so awesome (saving money, avoiding crowds, etc.). What are some of YOUR favorite off-season destinations?
When you travel as a couple things can get hectic.
Where do you want to go next? What are we doing for dinner? The number of decisions you have to make on a daily basis increases tenfold.
When you’re at home you can retreat, go hang out with your friends, just lose yourself in the aspects of daily life, but on the road that’s all stripped away.
Today Jason interviews Heather and I about how we handle taking our relationship on the road. How we deal with decision making, money, and fighting as we travel around the world.
The highs are really high, and the lows can be really low, but we wouldn’t trade it for anything!
What are some of your tips for traveling on the road as a couple?
