“Retirement”, Relationships & Buying a Home in Another Country with Warren & Betsy Talbot. Part II

Warren-and-Betsy-Talbot-PART-2


Yesterday Warren and Betsy shared amazing advice on starting your travel journey and finding a home base that you absolutely love.

Today we continue the trend of great advice and discuss a very important topic to me personally and I’m sure to a lot of you as well!

Relationships on the road.

Namely, making sure that you and your partner are on the same page, and happy during your travels. Because, as those of us who have traveled as part of a couple know, when you spend 24 hours a day with the same person in and out on top of the highs and lows of travel, tensions can rise quickly.

The advice that Warren and Betsy have to share on this topic is unbeatable for its wisdom and accuracy!

Do you and your partner use any of the tips that Warren and Betsy share? Different ones? Let me know how they work for you in the comments below!

“Retirement”, Relationships & Buying a Home in Another Country with Warren & Betsy Talbot. Part I

Warren-and-Betsy-Talbot-Part-1

Would you rather eat Thai food tonight, or go eat food in Thailand?

After seeing some of their friends having health issues in their 30’s Warren and Betsy Talbot sat down to a serious conversation to decide what they wanted their life to be like.

The next day they started Married with Luggage and laid out a budget.

And two years later they set out on around the world trip which has turned them to full-time travelers.

In this portion of our interview, Warren and Betsy chat about their decision to become nomadic, getting out on the road, and how, 4 years later, they bought a house in Spain to function as their home base.

With great advice that I know I’ll be following soon, this is an interview for people on all stages of their journey. From those considering the lifestyle to those who have been on the road for a while, there is something here for everyone!

Join us tomorrow for part II of this interview, where we talk more about the care and feeding of a relationship on the road and some money-saving tips & tricks.

Within 2 Hours of Landing in Italy…

Within-2-Hours-of-Landing-in-Italy

It’s not “the more you travel, the better you get at it” it’s the sloppier you get!

Jason’s infamous words when we told him of our recent slew of travel mishaps.

And boy was he right.

Within 2 hours of landing in Italy, if it could go wrong, it did. And the worst part was, most of it could have been avoided!

Today Heather joins me while we recount our experience of our first hours in Italy, and hopefully remind everyone, and especially ourselves, that no one is exempt from “silly” travel mistakes.

But something good comes out of every experience, and what would travel be without some ridiculous mishaps?

14-super-touristy

“That’s soooooo Touristy!”

Today we throw any, and all, preconceived notions of our “coolness” straight out the window.

Jason joins me as we discuss the ultimate taboo in independent travel.

Being a tourist.

We discuss our love of guided tours, pub crawls, “tourist” transportation and more without shame because sometimes you just have to get your tourist on!

With 14 awesome touristy activities revealed you’ll have to make us feel a little less lame and share some of your favorite tourist activities! If you have pictures of yourself being super touristy, tweet them @PackofPeanuts, we’d love to put together an EpoP/Zero To Travel album of our listeners being tourists!

Because everybody does it.

Right?
