Summer Destinations Part 1: International

Extra Pack of Peanuts Podcast Summer Destinations Part 1: International

With travel opening back up, where do you want to go first (internationally)? Because we loved this topic so much we are splitting this conversation into two episodes and therefore splitting our list in two as well. Today, we will be covering our international destinations that currently (May 2021) have their borders open to vaccinated tourists (& only a couple that we are still waiting on).

If you are craving travel as much as we are, this episode will fill your travel list with some great accessible international destinations.

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.

Considerations For Moving Abroad w/ Queen D Michele

Extra Pack of Peanuts Podcast Considerations For Moving Abroad w/ Queen D Michele

I am so excited to talk with my guest, Queen Michele, on today’s episode because she is all about getting others to move abroad just like she did. Queen retired at the age of 52 and moved to Mexico as a single, middle-aged retiree, and began her journey of self-discovery with no end in sight. She now wakes up with a smile on her face and joy in her heart every single day!
