    Unlock Travel Discounts with Perkopolis

    / Comments Off on 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…

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?

    Why You Should Book Classes While Traveling

    / Comments Off on Why You Should Book Classes While Traveling

    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!
