Portland is definitely our most visited city in the USA, and it might even be my favorite city!
Since our last Destination Diary, we’ve been back to Portland multiple times, and it’s time for an update!
Sean Ogle rejoins us on the podcast after several years to share his insider perspective on Portland and share some of his favorite spots around the city. Turns out he was holding out on us while we were there! Guess we’ll just have to go back!
We talk about some of the best restaurants in town, including brunch, pizza, food carts, happy hour, and just plain weird. As one of the best cities in the states for coffee, breweries, and desserts we of course touch on these as well. My favorite ice cream shop is there after all, how could we not talk about it!
What are you the most excited about visiting in Portland? Let us know @ExtraPackOfPeanuts!!
Today’s episode has been sponsored by our friends at Tortuga Backpacks!
Nick and I have been a lot of places over the past however many years.
But somehow I’m pretty sure Nick’s country count keeps beating mine!
Today we discuss our favorite cities around the world. We get through #10 – #5 for both of us today, complete with a ton of honorable mentions (you did know that was gonna happen right?) and a list of places that would NEVER make it onto our Top 10 lists.
Are these the best cities in the world?
I reserve the right to change my mind!
What are your top 10 cities, and which one are you going back to first?
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!
Longtime listeners might know that Heather has a not so secret love.
Coffee
Turns out, Jason, our often co-host, also has the same love. Though his is more of an addiction.
Today Heather and Jason list out some of their best coffee experiences, including their favorite coffee shops, and the best countries for coffee lovers.
I hold down the fort for those of us who aren’t so into coffee, providing some notes on ambiance, delicious treats, and the best hot chocolate I’ve had to date. And of course, you won’t have to wait long for Jason to break all the rules.
Heather and I love sweets, and not just for dessert!
Today we recount our search of the globe for the world’s best sweet treats. From Thailand to Philadelphia we’ll give you some places to visit just for the sweets!!
Our loves range from ice cream and creme brulee to fruit tarts and peanuts (we did get an extra pack of them after all….)
