Travel Tips Galore!

Always enjoy the episodes because I know I’m going to learn something new about travel. The tips and tricks are truly what no one else talks about but are super helpful. For example the Baja California episode was probably one of my favorites to date! Never considered RV life there but there episode has completely opened my eyes to the idea! Love Chris & Sara’s content.
