The Friendliest Countries

Extra Pack Of Peanuts Podcast The Friendliest Countries

 

We have another list episode but this is the first time we have dove into the friendliest countries we have been to. Now, this does beg the question of what makes a place friendly and we are leaving it intentionally vague because it means something different to everybody. Like with all of our lists we will have some honorable mentions and then we get into our top 5 friendliest countries which we have not shared with each other.

We hope you enjoy this episode! What are your top friendliest countries? Let us know by tagging us in a post on Instagram at @ExtraPackofPeanuts.

Our Top Ten Cities – For Now…. Part 1

Ep-216

Nick and I have been a lot of places over the past however many years.

But somehow I’m pretty sure Nick’s country count keeps beating mine!

Today we discuss our favorite cities around the world. We get through #10 – #5 for both of us today, complete with a ton of honorable mentions (you did know that was gonna happen right?) and a list of places that would NEVER make it onto our Top 10 lists.

Are these the best cities in the world?

I reserve the right to change my mind!

What are your top 10 cities, and which one are you going back to first?

The Top 16 Breweries in America

Top-16-Breweries-in-America

Today’s podcast starts with a very apt question.

“So, what are you drinking?”

Jason and I get together this week to talk about one of our favorite subjects.

Beer

We take the time to list out our 8 favorite breweries each (for a total of 16 awesome places to visit) and let you know just why each one made our list.

The rules:

1) It has to be in the United States
2) We have to have visited the brewery in person.

In addition to our Top 16, we also list out some of our disappointments, as well as our wishlists.

If you have a favorite brewery make sure to leave it in the comments, we’d love to hear about it!

If we’re ever near to one we’d be more than happy to meet up, hang out, drink beer, and chat about our awesome brewery experiences!

Spoiler Alert:  All the breweries are listed below.  If you don’t want to ruin the surprise, stop reading now and listen to the episode first!  Then come back and check out all the links.
