What would it be like to move to another country?  What would you miss from your home country? How would you adjust to the differences of the new country?  And when you go back home, what would that experience be like?

Jason and Trav dive deep into the great things and the challenges about living abroad, returning home, and experiencing culture shock and reverse culture shock.  Is it a bad thing?  A good thing?  Listen in and decide for yourself!

The Fun, Funny, and Fantastic from 2 Months in Europe

ep-247

If you’ve been following our adventures, you’ve probably seen some awesome pictures from our 2 month trip around Europe.

Heather and I both picked one location we really wanted to go and put together an, admittedly weird, itinerary.

We went to:

Norway
Georgia (the country!)
Greece
England
Scotland

We ran the gamut of weather, prices, and foods on our travels and today we’re here to talk about our top 5 foods, accommodations, and experiences from our trip. Including how many pounds we’ve collectively gained!

Tag us on Instagram @ExtraPackofPeanuts and let us know what country you’re the most excited to visit after listening to our travels!

The 16 Best Coffee’s in the World

Ep---165

Longtime listeners might know that Heather has a not so secret love.

Coffee

Turns out, Jason, our often co-host, also has the same love. Though his is more of an addiction.

Today Heather and Jason list out some of their best coffee experiences, including their favorite coffee shops, and the best countries for coffee lovers.

I hold down the fort for those of us who aren’t so into coffee, providing some notes on ambiance, delicious treats, and the best hot chocolate I’ve had to date. And of course, you won’t have to wait long for Jason to break all the rules.
