Extra Pack of Peanuts Travel Podcast

Ever dreamed of living in Europe?  Sipping cappucinos in the square of some Italian village or sunbathing on the beautiful beaches of the Mediterranean or Adriatic? It's possible - and, in fact, maybe even a lot more feasible, and affordable, than you think! (especially with lots of new digital nomad visas popping up, which we discuss at length) Jeff Opdyke has been to over 80 countries.  He's lived in multiple countries in Euro...

It's like a resort...for ants.

(Just kidding. That's a Zoolander reference.  I really hope someone got it and laughed).

So, what are micro resorts?  Why do Jonas and I believe they are the best path forward for creating experiential hospitality?  And where are we currently building micro resorts (hint:  one place is international, it starts with a B, and it's not the Bahamas - although I wouldn't be opposed to that down the road)...

Ever dreamt of moving to a tropical country, beach breeze blowing through your hair, surrounded by lush vegetation, wildlife, and amazing surf?

("Uhhh, yea Trav, basically every day!")

Well great - then you're in luck.

Because 4 years ago, my great friend Erika Kennedy packed up her life in Canada, her husband, two kids, and mom and headed off for that dream lifestyle in Costa Rica.

And after living there for 4 years, she explains ...

In this new podcast, Trav sits down with his co-host Jonas to discuss the vision for their real estate "empire" -  and why they believe experiential hospitality is the answer. Learn how they define experiential hospitality, why they are doubling down on it, and why AirBnB's aren't dead (but a lot are on life support).

If you're interested in going on this journey with us, then you're in luck - we'll be releasing new EPOP Real Esta...

J-Rob was 40, had a house, regular job, and had only been to two countries (one of which was the US).  Oh, plus he was scared to travel.

But he did it anyway - and he started with a series of experiments (which he continues to this very day). Here's how J-Rob went from non-traveler to world traveler in 5 years despite getting diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.

Whether you're someone who hasn't traveled much but wants to or someone wh...

Adam Schluter is a self-proclaimed "introvert who was scared of the world."  So what did he?  Booked a plane ticket to the cheapest place he could find (hint:  it wasn't cheap once he landed!) and started saying hello to strangers. Fast forward 9 years, and he's still doing it - while also figuring out how he can take the joy he feels while traveling and bring it back to his home in Idaho, which lead to him hosting Monday Night Di...

Over the past 30 days, I've taken on a challenge - to try 9 new habits.  Everything from doing a carnivore diet to 5 minutes of a daily somatic shake to "phone in foyer".  What did I learn?  Did I fail at some of them? (hint: yes).  Are some life-changing? Find out in today's show - and do me a favor: If you liked (or didn't like) this more personal, behind the scenes style show, let me know.  I'm looking for your honest feedback...

For the first time in 12 years and over 600 episodes, I recorded a full length solo show - and of course, it's about my favorite topic in the world, ICE CREAM!

From grandmas on remote Canadian islands to father-son duos in obscure South American countries, these twenty places (plus a few honorable mentions) will have you salivating - and ready to hop on the next plane.

I've been to over 300 ice cream shops (honestly, that number is...

Scouring the globe for the best desserts can be a thankless task...haha, who am I kidding?  It's awesome.  And 2024 was a banger of a year for desserts in the Sherry household! From Mexico City bakeries to small North Carolina markets, this list has it all - including two (yes, TWO) British "breakfast" items.  Grab a bib - because you're about to drool!  (and then let us know on instagram @extrapackofpeanuts what you're favorit...
