Summer is the most popular time to travel. In Europe, they even take an entire month off in the summer to travel around the world!
And since summer is right around the corner, we figured it was time to talk about some of our favorites. Rules for today’s list? We have to have been to that place before so many ideal summer destinations may not be mentioned because we simply haven’t been! But we’ll be working on that!
While Heather prefers the beach, I tend to skew towards awesome cities, so you’ll get a breadth of places to inspire the wanderlust in today’s episode.
We liked Asheville so much that we ended up there twice last year!
Lately, we’ve had quite a few people asking us for our recommendations to Asheville, and when I went to send them this episode, it didn’t exist, so here we are!
Heather joins me today to oust her favorite donuts (Beilers Donuts in Philly) for a new all-time favorite!
We also discuss some other favorite places to eat, and of course, our favorite breweries. Cause you can’t talk about Asheville without talking about craft beer!
What are your favorite places in Asheville? Let us know @ExtraPackOfPeanuts!!

Nate Menninger has spent the past several months relying on the kindness of strangers. From dogs in the wilderness to someone he met once for an hour becoming his travel buddy, it’s all about trust.
Pushing your comfort zone can be tough no matter what that means for you. Maybe buying that plane ticket does it, maybe running with the bulls, or showing up somewhere with nowhere to stay.
The best part though is coming through that challenge and growing, learning more about yourself and the people around you as you go on these crazy adventures.
Nate joins me today to share some of his stories about the people he’s met along the way, and how he’s pushed his comfort zone time and time again.
How have you pushed your comfort zone through travel? Share your story with me @ExtraPackofPeanuts!!

If you’ve listened before, you’ll remember me not being a big fan of London, but I’ve changed my tune quite a bit!
While I still won’t admit that English food is very good, we’ve found a couple of places I really enjoy, and this last time in London was quite a lot of fun!
Today Heather joins me to talk about our favorite areas of the city, some of the best places to eat, and a TON of things to do. From free museums (yes, free!) to a great way to see shows for cheap, we have some great tips for the budget traveler in today’s episode!
Have any recs for our next trip to London? Let us know @ExtraPackOfPeanuts!!
