Why 35+? I get this question sometimes from listeners who are curious as to why I chose this specific age group for the podcast.

I know 35 years old seems way too young to be considered 'middle age' but this is the magical middle and life is just different starting at this age. Listen in as I share why  35 is the turning point for traveling differently and why I chose to focus this podcast on supporting this community to make travel a lifestyle.

If you're not quite 35 yet, I hope you'll feel excited about what's to come. If you're already 35+, I hope this brings some clarity as to why not all travel advice is created equal and that having this tailored podcast just for us is going to be so much more supportive of living your best travel life!

Buckle up for an intriguing and uncensored episode with my special guest, who will remain anonymous to ensure we dive deep without holding back. As you might guess from the title, this episode is anything but PG, so prepare for a juicy conversation that takes us in unexpected directions as part of our Dating Diaries series. 

Before arriving in Adelaide, I was warned by many Australians that it’s a sleepy town with not much to do beyond the wineries and beaches. Despite its reputation, I was drawn to Adelaide for the epic Fringe Fest. With few attractions left after Fringe, I booked a wine tour, and that’s where today’s story begins.

Joining me today is a fascinating tour guide who gave me an insider’s view of Adelaide. Our conversation quickly veered off from the usual tour talk when I discovered he has very non-traditional romantic relationships and a family side hustle that offers up a wild side of Adelaide. This episode offers insights into the unconventional and adventurous possibilities awaiting curious travelers who may want to travel to explore a more intimate side of travel. Enjoy!

p.s. DM me on IG if you want further details on the side hustle you'll hear about in this episode.

In this episode, part of our Posh On a Penny series, we're talking about cash fares. I love my points and miles but sometimes it just doesn't make sense to use them or you may just not have any. In these circumstances, it's good to know how to snag the best cash fare for your flights.

I've got 7 fire tips, tricks, and resources to help you save money on your cash fares for flights. I've added a bonus tip at the end to answer the question, "Is there a best day of the week to book airfare?" 

If financing your long-term travels is a top priority, you'll also want to make sure you don't miss out on my upcoming free masterclass, The 3 Keys To Creating a Value-Based Travel Budget.
