Today he’s back for a full-fledged episode where he shares some tips on becoming a freelance travel writer and discusses some of the best places to move if you’re looking to have a better living for a lower price.

We also discuss the benefits of having multiple income streams, and how, even when you don’t have to be, we’ve managed to stay cheap travelers at heart.

The Rutledge Family had a case of itchy feet!

After a birthday trip to Chile, Suzanne and Mitch Rutledge realized that long term travel might be something they could ACTUALLY do! They got back home and started planning;

What would they do with their house?
How would their son’s school take the news that they were taking an extended trip abroad?
Where were they going to go?!

As they began preparing for their trip things began falling into place, and here they are, on the other end, talking about their experiences as seasoned world travelers!

Suzanne, Mitch, and Luke (the youngest person to ever be on the podcast) join me today to chat about getting out the door and deep into a 9-month adventure around the world, along with some of the best tips that they learned along the way.

Do you have any family travel tips? Let us know @ExtraPackofPeanuts!!

Starting A Hostel with Brent Underwood

ep-255

Click here to download this episode.

Brent has traveled the world and visited over 150 hostels in 30 countries.

Along the way, he had decided to start his own hostel, like many travelers contemplate.

But when the conditions presented themselves, he jumped on the chance and is now the owner of HK Austin, an awesome mansion from 1862 turned modern-day hostel.

Today Brent joins me to chat about his journey from travel junkie, to travel junkie who also owns a hostel and some of the steps involved in the process.

We also discuss the differences in the perception of hostels between Europe and the United States, and his quirky journey to becoming an “Amazon Bestseller”.

You can check out the hostel here, but one condition; you have to let us know what your favorite Taco joint is if you go!

Where is your favorite hostel? Let us know @ExtraPackofPeanuts!!
