Just the name conjures up images of majestic mountains, incredible landscapes, and some of the world’s most enchanting natural beauty.
For many people, trekking in Nepal is a lifelong dream.
It certainly was for Jason, and last December, he was able to achieve it by hiking through the Himalayas for an entire month.
Today, he joins us to give a complete recap of what the experience was like (hint: amazing) and also provide everything you could ever want to know about the logistics of planning and pulling off a similar trip.
Everything from what route to take, whether you should hire a guide, and even where you should buy piyush (and what exactly it is).
People have lots of reasons that they travel, but for us what makes traveling awesome are the people.
Getting a chance to hang out with the locals usually leads to some of the best moments of our trips. For that reason, we recorded the 16 ways to meet locals over on Jason’s podcast Zero to Travel.
As a sister podcast to that episode, we thought we’d share our favorite moments where spending time with the locals filled our tummies and our hearts, with joy.
How do you meet the locals when you travel? What stories do you have to share?
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?
And one of those bad things is the attachment to our computers. To the internet. This needs to always be connected, to always be ready to solve any and all problems that come up with our businesses.
Yet there’s a solution. Jason Moore, host of the Zero to Travel podcast and often co-host here is BACK.
He’s been out on a one-month digital sabbatical. Today he joins us to chat about his experience, how he managed to arrange such a thing, and what he’s taking away from the experience.
Since you already know that we’re super tourists (and super nerdy) we decided to take it a step farther and list of our favorite tourist destinations around the world.
In for a penny, in for a pound.
These are the places that are seen by many independent travelers to be a little too full of tourists for their tastes.
We disagree.
Sometimes places are so packed with tourists because they’re full of amazing and cool things that everyone should make an effort to see and experience.
Have you been to a super touristy destination that we left off our list? Let us know! You know us, we’re always looking for places to add to our travel lists!
We’re officially the least cool independent travelers out there. Help spread the word and find us some more “touristy” destinations to visit by clicking “Tweet This” below:
