  • How To Plan A Trip From Scratch: Choosing A Place

    This is the first in a new series called "How To Plan A Trip From Scratch", geared towards all those potential adventurers who need just a little handholding (in a totally non-creepy way). This episode tackles Step 1: Choosing a Place. We discuss our own thought process, which takes into account budget, comfort levels and education...but can also involve calendar pictures, crushes, and acts of rebellion.

  • Traveling in Thailand and Cambodia
    This episode we're talking Thailand and Cambodia...and travel guilt. Ever feel guilty about laying by the pool instead of visiting the sites or choosing a cheese plate over street food? Kathy does. Ines offers gentle counsel for finding a balance between experiencing the culture and relaxing, along with a key piece of XX, Will Travel philosophy: If you're being offered free cheese somewhere, you're gonna take it.
