Top 32 Cities in the USA – Part 1

Ep-225

Jason is BACK!

It’s been a while since we’ve had Jason on, so it’s great to have him back today to talk about our favorite cities, towns, and/or hamlets in the good ol’ U S of A.

Jason has a bit of leg up on me for this one, as he spent years touring around the United States as an Event Manager in all kinds of awesome, and hilarious, vehicles.

We discuss the best gelato outside of Italy, the specific charms of a college town, and all manner of foodstuffs and beer in our meanderings around the country.

Here on the EPoP Podcast, we’re only doing Part 1 of the podcast, counting down to our top 8. We’ll be finishing up the list over on the Zero to Travel podcast, so make sure to head on over and check out the rest of the list!

The Roundtable: Solo Travel

Ep-213

The roundtable is back! Today’s guests include:

and of course, myself!

Today I ask them a question that I hear a lot from listeners, but don’t have much experience with myself.

Traveling Solo

All of our guests today have done extensive solo travel, and they all have a unique perspective to bring to the questions of traveling alone.

They speak about the importance of traveling alone, what you can get out of the experience, and how to meet people on the road. We also discuss a little about traveling with a friend or family member, and how important it is to match travel styles!

Many of you are wanting to take solo trips but might be scared to go at it alone.

But the funny thing is, you’re never alone on the road!

Don’t wait for other people to be ready. Where will your first solo trip take you?

How do you actually feel about flying?

Not only do we get into some pretty gross food, it turns out that someone you wouldn’t expect actually really hates to fly!
