We talk to Suzanne Solomon of glutenfreedestinations.com about life as a traveler after a Celiac diagnosis in 2013. We get into her story, routines, packing, planning, why Ireland should have a Celiac Visa, and all sorts of stories from her extensive travel. Destinations discussed at varying lengths and detail include Helsinki, St. Petersburg (Russia, not Florida), Ireland, Japan, Slovenia, Croatia, New York City (where she calls home), Los Angeles, Louisville, and Montana.

If you or someone you know is hesitant to travel due to Celiac or a gluten sensitivity, this will be informative, encouraging, and practical. Enjoy!

We (Laura) took the kids to Disney! And I am a negative loser of a husband and father that only wants to complain about how much it costs. If you want to hear us have that argument for 33 minutes, give this one a listen. We do get into some park details, but that's not what this episode is about. Enjoy!

Big Bend National Park is one of the least visited National Parks in the lower 48 with about 350,000 annual visitors. That is both a shame and completely understandable. This place is remote, hard to get to, SO beautiful, raw, unique, and worth going to. There is a long list of reasons to go and reasons not to; I'd contend that most of those reasons are right. Give this one a listen and see if it's worth the trek to Southwest Texas to see one of the more impressive places that the US has to offer - both in terms of the landscape and the insane night sky. 

We talk to Nick Mock of TripPossible (mytrippossible.com) about his recent trip to Seattle, the small towns and islands just across the sound, and hiking and exploring Olympic National Park. It's one of the few places where you can walk past a Fortune 10 company's world headquarters, eat at a James Beard award winning restaurant, and then take a short drive to a rainforest, mountain views, and/or see salmon jumping up a waterfall. As a destination, Seattle and the surrounding area has something for everyone. Give this one a listen and I'd venture to guess that Seattle will be in consideration for your next trip. Enjoy!

So how do we help pay for travel? I drive strangers around on Friday and Saturday evenings. It is further evidence that truth is stranger than fiction. These are my travel related, inspiring, crazy, and sad stories from about 400 trips. Enjoy!

We talk to Bryon of gocaving.com - @cavemanstew on Instagram - about all things caves and why you need to explore the world of caving and spelunking. Listen and you'll hear some cool stories, learn a few things, and probably get on cavern.com to start searching caves in your area. Enjoy!

We're talking about our recent family trip to Southern California. We get into beaches, playgrounds, sea cave kayaking, trying to not die while sea cave kayaking, Channel Islands National Park (and half of our group got a little seasick on the boat out), eating, shopping, hiking, Danish Festivals, something called Ostrichland, Santa Barbara county wine, why we don't like LA, cereal milk ice cream, and all sorts of other shenanigans and memories. Enjoy!

We talk to Heather Shaivitz, who runs the travel blog myfriendscallmejulie.com about her recent family trip to San Francisco and Lake Tahoe. They flew into San Francisco, did 4 days there, rented a car, drove to Lake Tahoe, and spent a few days there as well. If you're thinking about a good city/outdoors combination trip, you may need to give this trip a hard look. Enjoy!

Based on the inspiration of a previous episode, we did a family trip here (plus Grand Staircase and Escalante National Monument). Here's our account and 2 cents. Enjoy.

This episode is part 2 from our conversation with Jimmy Lindsay. In this episode, we discuss his time in India, Southeast Asia, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. We discuss, among other things, what it's like to experience healthcare in remote parts of India, why the food in Tokyo is the best he's ever had, why we both think Melbourne is the most underrated city in the world, gaining perspective by breaking bread with foreigners, why you should start your New Zealand trip on the South Island, and how time abroad changes you. Enjoy!
