We have finally circled back to the N's and head to the heart of country music, Nashville. We had to pick up a local, Justin, to help us along the way. He gives us a couple of great itineraries to explore Nashville. Of course, we take some side trails along the way, with prolonged discussions about dessert and whiskey. Enjoy!

After a week off, Trip it to Me is back to discuss Andrew's Tokyo trip. We try out a new format of listing top 3's and really focus hard on the food eaten! Before that, we discuss auctioning, buying a snack shack and more. Enjoy!

It's never a bad time to draft on Trip it to Me and we do exactly that in this episode, heading to Europe to draft the cities we're most interested in. Before that, Shelby talks about a New Zealand land mark and reams of paper while Andrew somehow makes Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga about himself. Enjoy! Happy birthday, Shelby!

This travel-centric episode has Andrew previewing his upcoming trip to Tokyo before a broader discussion about unique ways to plan a trip. We list places that fit different categories we came up with. Before that, we debut a few new segments!

The alphabet itinerary has returned in the form of the Norwegian capital, Oslo. Andrew shares an itinerary for what he'd do on a trip to Oslo. There's plenty of fjord talk! Before that we talk about a few movies, Shelby questions some lyrics and we talk about Life Changes.

After a week off, Shelby and Andrew have plenty to talk about. They enlist Chat GPT as a mediator and answer a bunch of travel related questions! There's a few wild twists including some Aladdin fantasies, a high school rabbit hole and relating to Saoirse Ronan (which Andrew can not say) characters, naturally. We also talk about Dune 2 and a few other movies from 2024. Enjoy!

Shelby & Andrew are thrilled to welcome a new guest to the show! Our dear friend Anna joins us in the midst of planning a trip to Japan. She asks questions about the experience and we cover a good amount of ground (from Osaka to Tokyo, at least!) before the questions become a little more broad. We end up discussing food and trip planning! Enjoy!

Shelby and Andrew are back this week to talk about some of the fears they have when it comes to traveling. A few are rational, a few are not rational. They talk about them all and try to come up with a few solutions along the way!

Before that, Shelby let's everyone know that she's afraid of dead things and Andrew chants for Monkey Man.

Shelby and Andrew are back to the alphabet and also back to Shelby's home state of Oregon. They talk about their favorite spots in the state and also some spots that they'd like to go and that they don't like! Things truly go off the rails, to no one's surprise. On the plus side, we have an unplanned guests on this episode... Welcome, Charli! (Shelby's dog)

Our favorite trekker (trekkie?) is back! Fresh off of hiking the length of New Zealand, Kurt joins the show to tell us all about it. We range from what was life like for those 141 days to how he planned for it! Congratulations, Kurt!
