Budget Lodging and Cheap Talk
CG and I talk about spending money for lodging as we travel between house sits in the USA. We shot this video near Montrose, PA in Northeast Pennsylvania during our drive up to New England. If you’re in that area and you want to check out a delicious and funky dining experience, give Luna Wine and Table a try, we loved it.
Visiting Staunton Virginia
Staunton, Virginia is a beautifully preserved, historic town in the Shenandoah Valley. Buck and I found a place near the historic downtown from which we could easily walk to coffee shops, restaurants, museums, and the diverse architecture in nearby neighborhoods. We visited Staunton, Virginia for a couple of days on our way to a fall house sit in the northeastern USA.
Changing Jobs – Changing Your Life
Are you thinking about changing jobs, or changing careers? In this podcast episode, CG and I compare some of our changing job experiences over the years. Our desire to travel has had huge impacts on our occupational choices. And as our bodies and available technology change, our job choices evolve as well.
Ucluelet British Columbia
In this podcast episode, CG and I discuss wintering in Ucluelet on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. Ucluelet, British Columbia is a small town off the beaten path along the Pacific coastline where we spent Jan-April enjoying some of the most magnificent coastal country we’ve ever encountered. We have great memories of storm watching, whale watching, and exploring the tidal pools. Ucluelet is grey, wet, and uncrowded in the winter, and a beautiful place to be.
A Smoky Mountain Retreat
CG and I are house sitting for the summer in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, so we thought we would discuss some of the experiences we have had visiting the Great Smoky Mountain National Park through the years. And we’ll throw in a few facts about the Smokies, just for fun.
Where Can We Travel This Winter?
CG and I need to figure out where we’ll travel and live this fall and winter. We are currently house sitting, but our housesitting assignment will end in 4 to 6 weeks (if not sooner!). Traveling slow often provides the best advantage for finding longer-term travel deals. However, to take advantage of those deals, often you have to plan ahead. And in the current climate of travel uncertainty, making longer term winter travel plans is a bit risky. This travel podcast episode is basically CG and I talking aloud about our potential options for the coming six months.
