WELCOME BACK SWEATY FRIENDS!

This week I welcome some very special people to the podcast. Please put your hands together for Amanda Kingsmith & Ryan Ferguson from the World Wanderers Podcast! 

Amanda and Ryan are dear friends that I met in Merida MX and I am so excited to have them here on the podcast.

Today we talk dive into...

• Their travel journey as a couple

I loved being able to sit down and talk about their sweatiest moments on the road over the past 10 years and I hope you enjoy the episode as much as we enjoyed recording it!

 Don't worry, we have a special intro from yours truly...

I chat about my birthday plans and how I made $23 dollars at my sister's graduation party (because I know you're curious). I also remind you to PLEASE go leave a voicemail here with all of your sweaty stories so I can play them on the podcast! If you don't want to send a voicemail feel free to shoot an email over to Mack@[email protected] and I will read them!

Welcome back to another episode of The Sweaty Traveler Podcast!

• Fred's first backpacking trip 

and of course... all Fred's Sweaty Travel stories!

WELCOME BACK SWEATY FRIENDS!

In today's episode, I catch you up on life back in the US and walk you through my lost air conditioner (HINT: someone stole it). 

I am excited to have two incredible guests join me to chat about everything travel. From living in Russia during a global pandemic to traveling as a couple and their favorite places to visit together.

Jordan and KT walk us through what Russia is really like, what it's been like to live in seven different countries, and a true James Bond experience they encountered while trying to buy Christmas ornaments at an Ikea. 

If you loved today's episode, you're in luck! Jordan and KT are launching their BRAND NEW PODCAST TOMORROW! Be sure to follow @onarrivaltravel on all social media platforms and subscribe to their new podcast anywhere you're listening to this podcast right now!

On this week's episode, we have none other than Jessica Kapusta. Our very first repeat guest!

I wanted to have Jessica back on the podcast to have a very important conversation. I wanted to discuss the experience of traveling as a person of color.

I, as a white woman, can say I travel with a certain level of privilege I honestly wasn't even aware of. It's not Jessica's job to educate us on what it's like to travel as a black woman but we both know how important it is to have these conversations. In the episode about sharing your experience so others know they aren't alone and showcasing how travel can be different for everyone.

I am by no means perfect and this is not the end of conversations like these, but the beginning. It's important for me to keep educating myself on these topics and grow as a person and it's my hope that our conversation today can do that for all of you. 

I'll let the episode speak for itself and have Jessica take it from here! 

Follow Jessica on Instagram @jessica_cabbage

and be sure to reach out to either of us to continue the conversation!

Today we're back for a very special episode where The Sweaty Traveler Family takes you through the top 10 things to do in the Florida Keys!

I don't even have words for this episode... Momica is back and steals the spotlight once again. If you didn't listen to the first family episode listen here first. 

Back in December, we took a very sweaty girls' trip down to the FL Keys I took my microphone and the rest is history. Is the audio great? No. Did we record it on the side of the highway? 100% yes. 

The trip started with troubles in airport security and ended with a fight over where we wanted to get dinner. You'll have to listen for in-between! 

Basically, this episode is me trying to explain our trip and my mom interrupting. If you hate organization and reason this episode might be the one for you! 

Are ya ready? Let's Get Sweaty!

The Sweaty Traveler is back for another episode with one of your favorite guests CHLOE EMMONS! AKA the owner of Potion Matcha Bar, my PCH travel companion, and truest friend. 

We were only gone for 36 hours but it wouldn't be a trip without some sweaty moments.  We saw a grown man shitting, almost got in a fistfight at Goodwill, and ate tacos out of a convenience store.

The real reason we drove to Cincinnati so Chloe could try my favorite Pretzel and when we arrived... THEY WERE OUT! Talk about a bummer...

We chat about our favorite places, activities, food, beer, coffee, and a real-time segment where I try passionfruit for the first time. 

Did we get our pretzel? Why did we see a grown man on the toilet? What could possibly entice a fight at a Goodwill? You'll have to listen to find out! We promise you won't regret it (for the most part). 

Are ya ready? Let's Get Sweaty!
