Purple Hood Adventures

Halloween is a whole month away, so why are we talking about that scary " "budget" word now?? Well duh! That's because you'll need to be able to plan in September if you want to already BE somewhere cool this year for your next spook fest in October! Budgeting your travels shouldn't have to be a circus act (or a nightmare before your vacation). Today, we face everybody's least favorite part of trip planning head on. The sooner we turn a negative into a positive, the sooner you can be on that next flight. Join us today as I interviewed Becca Holstein; the budget AND travel guru!

We've covered major travel destinations, but what about weekend getaways? Last week, I traveled to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, which is one of the many weekend get away hotspots. You'll not only hear audio clips from my adventures there, but we will discuss highlights and "under-the-radar" destinations around the country for YOUR next getaway!

Today, we talk about the importance of always making time to do what you love. Not tomorrow, but today. This week, I interview my own father who is battling cancer. We talk about just how much personal happiness is directly correlated and even influential to physical and psychological health. Today, he also takes us through his journeys all over the world as someone who has lived and will continue to live a remarkable life of adventure.

Last week, we talked about how many people don't have the chance to travel, but today we talk EVERYTHING travel and about HOW to go about getting out there. I will answer every why, when, how and where today as well as share some of my own travel debacles...err..tips! We'll also discuss world news and world weather. I meant it when I said EVERYTHING travel!

Today we take a look at our American culture, corporate life and the drive to compete and "succeed." But what is success? Do we, as Americans become so wrapped up in our work routines that we forget why we're there in the first place? We talk today about not forgetting to enjoy life and just how we stack up against the rest of the world when it comes to taking time off and experiencing the world. Think you know how many vacation days are wasted in our country each year? Listen and find out just how many and WHY!

You always hear about either homebodies or full time nomads. But where are all the people who balance both lives? Hear about a NEWLY FORMED worldwide travel network in the works and about what it's like to live a real life accidental comedy show as a travel-obsessed entrepreneur and a remote speech-language-pathologist behind the scenes. Want to get started in full time adventure with me while making lifelong friends around the world? Let's begin... TOGETHER. Listen to find out that you might not be the only one who lives a secret life of wanderlust. Let's make it your "not secret" life!
