Description
This is a conversational podcast created by two married nerds in an attempt to document our travels and experiences. So far we've covered 1400 miles in Japan by train, a month working in the UK, NYC, plus life in and around Atlanta, GA, USA.
We generally eat and drink our way through life with stops for art, books, music, and (too often) work - but we sometimes need to remind ourselves to rein it in.

Where we talk about our experiences traveling without renting a car. It works and can definitely be cheaper. We cover trains, trams, taxis, subways, buses, ride shares, and funiculars. It takes a bit of planning but makes for a great travel experience. Benefits are how it can get you closer to the locals and give you some extra decompression time.

Where we discuss various issues and lessons we've learned over our years traveling - and Rachel says f*** a lot. We cover various mistakes with planes, trains, AND automobiles from Europe, South America, Japan, and right here in our backyard of North Georgia - but most of all laugh about most of them and hopefully share a few tips to help others be better prepared.

Our final Japan episode where we discuss out top 10 experiences and tips, plus discuss what's on the agenda next. This one's a little longer, but we think it's well worth the time. We had fun reflecting on our favorites and shout out to previous episodes if you want to hear more on specific topics. We also tweaked the transition music a bit, let us know if it still needs work. Thanks for listening!

22 days gives one a lot of time to try a variety of food and food experiences in Japan. In part one of our two part Japan trip wrap-up we focus on food and eating in Japan - variations on ramen, tsukemen, tantanmen, soba, and noodles galore; breakfasts, both traditional and our own, including natto, random fish, and finishing with miss soup; soup curry, cheese tarts and other favorites, surprises, advice; plus what we missed and what we'll miss. Join us to hear there is more than sushi in Japan and way more to try still!
Note: Apologies that we're still sorting out our recording levels and the transition music may be much louder than expected if listening on headphones - we're working on it!
