What comes to mind when you hear the word Hostel? I bet you think they are for young budget travelers who just want to party, right? Don't get us wrong, there are definitely hostels that are geared just for those types of travelers. But we feel like hostels get a bad reputation and in this episode we welcome our friend Chelo to help change your mind.  Chelo has solo traveled to 25 different countries across 5 different continents and has stayed in almost 200 hostels. Not only has he stayed in hundreds of hostels but he has also worked in hostels all around the world to extend his time abroad. If there is anyone who is a hostel expert, Chelo is the guy. So grab yourself a cup of coffee and let's talk about what it is like to work in a hostel!

All-inclusive resorts, you either love them or hate them. For those who are unfamiliar, an all-inclusive resort is one where the vast majority of your expenses are included in the price of your vacation. Some of the included expenses include your accommodation, food and drink (including alcohol), some activities, and so much more. Having a vacation where everything is included sounds amazing right? Wrong. In this episode, we are talking about all of the pros and cons of all-inclusive resorts.  As travelers we see the appeal of an all-inclusive resort for those who are short on PTO. In fact, we have traveled to them before but it isn't always the best option and we explain why. If you are considering booking an all-inclusive resort for your next vacation, you need to listen to this episode before you book that fancy all-inclusive resort.

We all love to travel but have you ever thought about traveling to leave a lasting impact on the place that you are visiting? In today's episode we have a conversation with the founder of IVY, Steve Weigel. IVY was founded in 2014 and originally sold long boards and quickly evolved into an adventure travel brand. IVY connects like minded people through adventures but they also believe in leaving long lasting impact on communities that we travel to through humanitarian efforts. We talk about how Steve works with local organizations and non-profits around the world for IVY's Make a Difference (M.A.D.) trips. In addition to humanitarian M.A.D. trips, IVY also has adventure trips. One of their most popular trips is their sailing trip through the Caribbean.
