An African safari is a bucket list destination for many people and we could talk for hours, days, maybe even weeks about our trip to Uganda. Today we're just sticking to how we picked the country, what we experienced while we were there and what we would do differently. We're going to leave a future episode to discuss what to expect on African safaris in general. 

What we cover in today's podcast: 

• Why Uganda- what led us to choosing this rather unconventional country for our first trip to Africa
• Some of our crazy experiences like white river rafting on the Nile River, Roasting coffee beans and making matoke with a local and, of course, Gorilla Trekking
• Why a tour company can really make or break your African safari experience

This is part of our new series where we highlight “easy” weekend trips.  We’re part of the 9-5ers that are just looking to use our PTO in the best way possible. Weekend trips are a great way to start to get out there with minimal planning (because it's just a short trip). It's a great way to “get your feet wet” so to speak and work your way up to those bucket list getaways. Weekend getaways obviously vary on how easy or realistic they are based on where you’re based but generally, this is why we say that a trip to Vegas is a great long weekend trip: 

• Many flights in and out- a good chance of finding a decently priced flight
• Many hotels including ones that can be used with major credit card point carriers 
• It's a place you typically want a taste of, not necessarily a place where you need to spend a week to 10 days to experience the soul of the place. 

In today's episode we talk about: 

• Best things to do in Las Vegas
• The mistakes we made on our trip to Vegas
• What we would focus on for our next trip! 

Would you go to Vegas for the weekend?

Have you ever begun budgeting for a trip and can’t figure out how much you SHOULD be spending on your hotel? What about activities? Food and drink? Travel budgeting can be stressful, especially when you don't have a solid benchmark for how much you should be spending to get the most out of your trip. Today we narrow this down for you - keep listening for our take on travel styles, and how knowing yours can make budgeting much more manageable. 

In today's episode, you'll find:

• What are the different travel styles 
• Why it's important to know your travel style
• How to focus your budget on your travel goals

Make sure to let us know: When does traveling become a short term living situation, and not "slow travel".
