    / Comments Off on What is a Travel Deal?

    This is a question Jenn is starting to ask herself as she continues to navigate several tools trying to find a travel deal for later in 2025. Up to this point, it has become a bit paralyzing, but why!? We dive into how she is feeling, what she is thinking about her quest to do this and how does she think it will play out? We hope she hasn’t missed her deal but there is still a lot of year left, she’ll find one! (right!?)

    Join us on this cathartic episode inspired by a Buzzfeed article, where we talk about all things plane travel etiquette – the quintessential dos and don’ts of spending time cramped in a small space with strangers. We reached out to our listeners and had them weigh in, and in this episode, we dive into their most irritating pet peeves and what you can do to be a better plane traveller. No one is perfect, and most of us have done at least one of these either on purpose or by accident, but in a world where people seem more concerned with themselves than the collective, have a listen and see…

    Finding Comfort Food While Traveling Abroad

    / Comments Off on Finding Comfort Food While Traveling Abroad

    Traveling is about exploring our world and trying new things, and that is why most people do it! One thing about traveling is that there is always a lot to consider while out on the road, such as what you want to see, where you need to go, and what you are going to eat next. Trying new foods can be so fun, and we highly recommend it, but sometimes you are just on the go and want something you know and are familiar with to fill the void! That can mean trying a chain restaurant or coffee shop you know well from your home country, and sometimes, you know…

    Unlock Travel Discounts with Perkopolis

    Does your work have a discount program, and if it does, do you know what it offers!?  Perkopolis is one used by many bigger corporations here in Canada, as an example. Many people have these types of work programs but don’t think to use them and are likely missing out on saving money!   Of course, being a travel podcast, we are most interested in the travel perks, and both of our workplaces offer some discounts on airlines and hotel stays. Even your credit card, especially a travel points credit card, often has discounts, and we should be taking full advantage – it is part of the annual fee you likely…

    As we navigate the state of the world, we are used to our governments issuing travel warnings of the places not to visit for safety or other reasons, but what are the safest places right now to visit? As Meggan ponders a potential trip later this year, she got to thinking, is this place we are thinking about on the list? Dear listener, it was not on the list however a list does exist with the number one place for safety in 2025 being Iceland. Who else made the list and why is it important for you to consider this?

    When travelling, we often talk about how important it is to learn about the culture of the place you are visiting and also supporting local. Jenn talks to us in this TTT about options and opportunities to book classes and experiences while abroad. Whether it is a cooking class, a wine tour, a blacksmithing, or soap making class, you can meet new people and learn new things while visiting new places. We think it is a winning combination and can make for richer travelling experiences!
