Description

The Extra Pack of Peanuts Travel Podcast is hosted by Travis Sherry, a serial entrepreneur and world traveler. Known as "Rick Steves for the new generation", this podcast will teach you everything you need to know to travel more and spend less.

From interviews with some of the world's most famous travel names, like Chris Guillebeau, Bruce Poon Tip, AJ Jacobs, Chris Christensen and others to specific travel advice on how to use frequent flyer miles, score cheap hotels, pack like a pro, and travel on a budget, this show does it all.

We'll also highlight specific destinations, telling you what it's really like to travel to India, the best places to eat and sleep in Paris, and top everything off with our Top 10 lists, which will make you laugh, reminisce, and ultimately, be filled with wanderlust.

Sea turtles and dolphins and lions...OH MY!  Here are our 24 best experiences of 2022, from airport lounges (really?) to one so incredible it can only be kismet.  Enjoy...and listen ALL the way through for a random surprise at the end.
Ohhhh, here we go...gimme that sugar rush! We're talking desserts...everything from "a kind of biscuit cake" to one of our top 5 ice cream places in the world - and it's new!  Plus...Trav bakes a pie???
Heather breaks down her favorite coffees of the year, we debate how much a bag of beans should REALLY cost, talk about what made an awful cocktail not actually awful and give you our favorite adult beverages of 2022.
The one you've all been waiting for - our best meals of 2022!  From a surprise at the supermarket to a square in Porto, we highlight our greatest eating experiences of the year - and give out lots of "yums" (listen to the podcast to find out what that means).
Episode 2 of our 6 part Year in Review answers all the burning question, like "what was the craziest thing we did this year?", "what was our worst accommodation" (hint: it had a ceiling falling down), "are waterparks as fun as an adults as they were as a kid?", and "what were our biggest mishaps" (there were plenty to pick from).     Stories abound, so hit play and have a listen!
For the 7th straight year, we are back with our 6 part Year in Review. And in Episode 1 - Travel Stats, Trav gets to nerd out on all the numbers.  How many places did we sleep last year?  Where were they?  Did one of us spend multiple nights on an airplane?  How many miles did we fly?  And what new places did we have the good fortune of visiting?  All these answers, and more, jam packed in this episode.
What happens when someone in Canada, Thailand, and New York sit down with Trav to discuss lifestyle freedom?  Well...it gets deep...and fun...and we all learn what it's like to have 5 daughters (true story!) This is part of our Location Indie podcast, hence the different opening.  If you like it, check out Location Indie in your podcast feed!
I sit down with 5 amazing contributors to the Paradise Pack 2022 to discuss their journey to lifestyle freedom...and also to talk about eating chocolate poured over your hands (true story!) This is part of our Location Indie podcast as well, hence the different opening.  If you like it, go check out Location Indie in your podcast feed!
We answer your questions about lifestyle freedom - include if we miss anything about our 9-5. Plus, a very special guest makes a surprise appearance!
It wasn't easy.  It wasn't fast.  It wasn't (always) sexy.  But over 15 years, we've been able to build a lifestyle that gives us The Triangle of Freedom:  Time Freedom, Location Freedom, and Financial Freedom.  For the first time ever, here's the WHOLE story - good, bad, and ugly (including the craziest job I ever had).
Exotic drives down a remote coastline? Check.  Mellow holidays spent with friends new and old?  Check.  A last minute mad dash to a wedding, complete with delayed flights?  Check.  Here are our best experiences of 2021!
One of us prefers to drink their calories, the other prefers to eat them...which makes us the perfect pair to do a drinks and desserts episode.  Here are the best drinks we had in 2021 (lots of sunsets involved!) and the best desserts, including a pie made with a non-working oven!
We may not have traveled as much in 2021, but that didn't stop us from eating!  Always a fan favorite, here are our 16 best meals of 2021, running the gamut from smoothie bowls to homemade brisket!
What was the craziest thing we did in 2021?  What was the most unexpected thing that happened...in a good way?  The most underwhelming thing (hint: it's the South's "#1 city")?  These questions, and more, answered in our 2021 Travel Superlatives, our annual "back of the yearbook" award show!
How many different beds did we sleep in 2021?  How many miles did we drive and fly in 2021?  And what was the longest stretch we stayed in our own home?  All these burning questions (and more!) answered in our annual Travel Stats episode that kicks off our 2021 Year in Review Season.
This is Part 2 of our Short Term Rental Ask Us Anything and today, we cover a whole array of topics, including if we would ever build unique properties from the ground, how much you need to get started in STR, what the biggest factors have been for our success, and even if we let friends and family stay for free.  Enjoy!
Ask and ye shall receive.  This is Part 1 of our Short Term Rental Ask Us Anything, where we answer your questions about STR.  In this episode, we cover everything from how to house hack your own home to what brand of mattress we use that guests rave about (and is cheap to boot!).  
Over the years, we've learned A LOT of lessons about how to make a magical short term rental.  Here, we give you the 14 most important lessons , from the sexy ("discover your why") to the unsexy (let's talk about locks!). 
S1E7:  Renovations

S1E7: Renovations

2021-11-1633:53

Some people prefer homes that are turnkey and ready to be rented immediately.  Others prefer to renovate so they can put their own touches on a place (or they just love picking up a drill!).  And some might not be sure which is for them - or might want to both (like us!).  In this episode, we talk about the pros and cons of each and what our renovation experience has been like (hint:  some good, some not so good).
When we first set off on our STR journey, we never imagined we'd sell all of our Philadelphia properties this quickly, but...sometimes, things change and you have to buck conventional wisdom ("never sell a house within 5 years of buying it") and do something that wasn't part of the original plan. In this episode, we talk about why we bought 5 properties...and then sold them all within 4 years of owning them - and also why we sold them all in one 3 month time period.
