Packing my bags!

Just caught up on the first 3 episodes and I love them! I like that each episode is one location, and that each traveler has their own idea of what makes a good trip and what could make a better trip next time. Also love hearing about lesser known spots to explore at each destination and am making a list! I had a trip planned to Ireland and Scotland for my birthday next month, and while I will get there some day, this podcast has given me more ideas for future trips! Great job, Curtis! Love your easy-going, natural inteview style and the Q&A segment at the end of each episode. So many gems - can't wait to hear more!
