A lot of us carve out time in the summer, or even randomly throughout the year, for a weekend trip or a longer getaway. We head to new towns, cities, states, or countries to see something different, meet new people, and spend time with the ones we care about.

But somewhere along the way, trip planning turns into trip managing. We map out every stop, every meal, every outfit. And while there’s nothing wrong with being prepared, sometimes all that planning takes the fun out of it. Do we really need to control every detail, or is it okay to just figure things out as we go?

In this episode of the LeisureHub Podcast, Justin is joined by Thomas, a longtime road tripper who knows a thing or two about traveling with a minimalist mindset. Together unpack why the best travel moments often come from what you didn’t plan, and whether a “perfect trip” actually exists.

Pack light, mentally and literally, and come hang out for a conversation that might change how you approach your next adventure.
