Destination Diary – Barcelona, Spain

Ep-267

Click here to download this episode directly

More than the food, the drinks, or the location, the best thing about Barcelona was the lifestyle. But the food and drinks were also awesome!

Heather and I go in-depth today on all the restaurants we visited (quite a lot), the gelato we didn’t get to eat and the best bars we found on our trip.

And while there isn’t many touristy things to do in Barcelona (seriously, go eat), we did find some pretty awesome parts of town to visit, and of course, if you go when it’s warm there’s always the beach!!

Some of the restaurants we mention in this episode require advance booking, perhaps even weeks in advance based on the time of year you’ll be traveling. The Fork and Open Table are two great ways to book restaurants in advance, perhaps before you even get to Barcelona!

Have you ever been to Spain? What was your favorite city? Let us know for our next trip @ExtraPackOfPeanuts!!

A stint in Dublin and a 6-day road trip around southwestern Ireland was enough for us to fall in love!

1 RV, 2 Adults, 4 Kids, and a Dog with Paul Kortman

Ep-265

Click here to download this episode.

Lots of people think once you have one kid you can’t travel, let alone 4 kids and a dog!

Paul Kortmans joins me today to share his family’s experience taking on Mexico in an RV.

We chat about how he (and his kids) ended up with the travel bug, the lightbulb moment when he and his wife realized their kids like to travel just as much as they did, and a story of overcoming business setbacks as a location independent professional.

Whew, that’s a lot! We cover a lot of ground in this podcast including a GENIUS tip for getting your kids used to airplane travel if they’ve never done it before, and a great way to keep them entertained on those long flights!

Do you remember traveling with your parents as a kid? Tell us your favorite memories @ExtraPackofPeanuts!!

Ep-264

Every year we like to make a list of our dream destinations for that year. Sometimes we get around to a couple of them, sometimes we don’t and they live on to the next year’s list, but either way, it’s a great way to start off the year!

Last year Greece and Georgia were both on our lists, and turned out to be some of our favorite experiences from 2016!

Heather and I go through our top 7 destinations (and some honorable mentions), including a couple of surprising destinations from us both!

Where will we go first?

Where do you want to go in 2017? Let me know @ExtraPackofPeanuts!!

To cap off our Year in Review Series Heather and I talk about our favorite experiences of 2016.

And we had quite a few!

Going through our photos made us long for the road today, as the weather here in Philly was a bit dreary, but it also made us incredibly grateful.

Thanks to all the listeners who supported us in 2016!

Enjoy our reminiscing about some of our favorite moments, some you’ve heard of before, some you haven’t’, but all absolutely wonderful!
