Destination Diary – Portland (Update!)


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!!

Top 12 Fall Destinations

Summer is the prime time for travel. Great weather, easy time off, and beaches galore.

But it can also be expensive, and very, very crowded.

Solution? Fall travel! The weather is still great (most places), the crowds are smaller, and the prices are cheaper! You gotta love those shoulder seasons.

Today Heather and I list our top 6 fall destinations each, complete with some (maybe) cheating, and surprises!

Where’s your favorite place to spend the fall? Let me know @ExtraPackofPeanuts!!

Packing Guide: Everything Else

When you work from the road, you gotta bring some tech with you. In this episode, Heather and I go into the other things that are in our bags that didn’t fit into our Packing Guide for Men and Packing Guide for Women podcasts.

Out work gear, podcasting gear and the stuff that generally falls under health & wellness.

Remember, if you’re not going to use it? Don’t pack it!

Packing Guide: Men

My motto is, fewer, more high-quality items. I don’t pack a ton when we travel, but what I pack will last a long time!

I’m even trying to up my game in a couple of categories, so let me know if you have any suggestions!

If you haven’t heard already, make sure to check out our Packing Guide for Women as well!

Any recs for travel shirts or other items? Let me know @ExtraPackofPeanuts!!

She’s broken it down into sections, and any products mentioned specifically can be four below in the links section! Time to get out your packing list and start comparing!
