Ask Me Anything: A Millennial Male Perspective

Have we got a treat this week! A friend stops by to share some of his traveling experiences and lessons learned. Listen in to learn where (and why) he had his best AND worst experience on the SAME trip.

Roam We Don't Want To

We usually hear about travel bucket lists - the places people feel they 'must go' before they peace out. But what about places that would never make the cut? We know it's to each their own but come on, don't you have somewhere you've sworn never to go? We all have that "X List" and in this episode, we're going to discuss some of the places that have made our NON-bucket lists. We talk about some destinations where one visit was enough and some destinations that never even stood a chance. Tune in to hear if any of your fave (or non-faves) made our list!

Bros From Different Area Codes

We travel for many different reasons but the most common reasons people give for traveling are for a sense of community, to experience another culture, or to sample some fine cuisine. But, the homies know that there's another reason for people to travel and it's not a shocker: the eye candy! Join us as we take a MENtal trip across the globe and give flowers to some men (and their cultures) we admire, both locally and internationally.
