In Season 1, we are breaking down how we achieved real estate success with short term rentals (STR) and how you can do the same.  In this first episode, we will give the ENTIRE story of our journey - from when we first started thinking about buying real estate to why we bought 5 properties in 1.5 years (and then sold all 5 in the last 3 months) and what we are planning for the future.

Here's the story behind our podcast hiatus (involving Netflix, multiple houses, a 26' Uhaul, and some other shenanigans) plus a peek in to the future of the EPOP podcast, including letting YOU decide what's next.

In her 11 years of living nomadically, she’s circled the globe multiple times visiting all 7 continents. She lived in Vietnam, hiked the Annapurna Circuit with her father, finished the 10,000-mile Mongol Rally, walked the Camino de Santiago, kayaked in Antarctica, herded reindeer in the Arctic, and drove an auto-rickshaw across India.

While quarantining in her home in Denver - she used her time to work on a new Ebook, Where to Go, and When. The book provides inspirational ideas of where to travel each month (for when we can travel again). For each month she chose 3 destinations to satisfy different travel styles (epic adventure, domestic trip, and an international trip or festival) with a short overview of the interesting, cool and quirky things to do there. The destinations were chosen based on trips Sherry has actually done over her 14 years as a travel blogger. My good friend and incredible writer and photographer - one of the OG’s of travel blogging - Sherry Ott from Ottsworld.com.

Today I have the amazing Chase Boehringer from The Bucketlist LIfestyle on the show and he has had the honor to be on the Price Is Right, he has spontaneously walked into an airport and bought a ticket, and has currently crossed off 80 out of 100 bucket list items. This is a very fun conversation that will probably get you the motivation to start attacking your bucket list!

Do you have a bucket list? How many items have you been able to check off so far and do you have plans to get more checked off? Let us know @ExtraPackofPeanuts.
