Episode 140: The Magical Number of $3,000

How often are you taking a vacation these days? Have you settled into a routine of one or two trips a year? How do you feel about that?

I have always been good at taking consistent vacations, but it’s also easy to get stuck in a cycle of how many vacations seem  'normal' or 'allowed' instead of admitting that we truly crave more adventure in our lives.

So on this short-and-sweet episode, let’s uncover how often your soul truly wants to get away, so we can give meaning to the idea of 'traveling more' with a tangible frequency.

Episode 100: A Little Less Talk, A Lot More Travel

I only travel with a very select few people. One of them: my not-so-travel-obsessed hubby. When I had the idea to have him come onto the show as a guest, I was so surprised he didn't shoot down the idea immediately, but it was a blast having him on.

Our chat turned into a laid-back reminiscing session about our very first adventure abroad that we took early in our relationship. What my husband refers to as a "not normal trip", this adventure left us with a ton of funny stories and plenty of evidence that we can do hard/new/sketchy things together. 

Plus, Kyle shares his perspective on being married to someone whose passion is planning vacations, even though travel isn't his top interest. Tune in for a genuine, candid conversation with one of my favorite travel companions – my husband, Kyle Gillmeister.
