This is a conversational podcast created by two married nerds in an attempt to document our travels and experiences. Currently based in Atlanta, we've traveled to dozens of countries and cities across multiple continents, but are continually dreaming our next trip to Japan! We generally eat and drink our way through life with stops for art, books, games, music, and trains - but we sometimes need to remind ourselves to rein it in.
