    • Episode 154 - How We're Balancing Big Travel Dreams With Real Life in 2026

      Episode 154 - How We're Balancing Big Travel Dreams With Real Life in 2026
      Jan 6 2026
      In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on how we’re thinking about travel in 2026. Not dates. Not spreadsheets. But mindset. We talk honestly about the tension so many travelers feel. Do you slow down and stay longer in one place… or do you keep exploring and saying yes to new destinations? For us, 2026 is shaping up to be a year where slow travel, cruising, meaningful return trips, and big bucket-list dreams all collide—while still balancing real jobs, responsibilities, and everyday life. What you'll discover in this episode: Why we’re asking how we want to travel—not just where The ongoing pull between slow, immersive travel and cruise-style exploration Why Antarctica has been on our bucket list long before the podcast ever existed How our upcoming Antarctica group trip came together—and why bringing listeners along mattered Spending time in Buenos Aires before Antarctica with a private guide, tango, and steak Returning to Kenya for a Habitat for Humanity build near Laikipia—and why travel with impact matters to us The reality of balancing a corporate job, content creation, finances, and big dreams Why “just say yes” isn’t always simple—and why that’s okay Our growing wish list for 2026. This episode isn’t about having everything figured out. It’s about acknowledging the push and pull between aspiration and reality—and realizing that you’re not behind if you’re still figuring it out. We’d love to hear from you: What’s on your bucket list right now? What keeps getting pushed off? Where are you struggling to find balance? Email us at info@sunshinetravelers.com and let us know!

    • Episode 153 - What We Learned Through Travel in 2025: Key Experiences, Lessons, and What’s Next

      Episode 153 - What We Learned Through Travel in 2025: Key Experiences, Lessons, and What’s Next
      Dec 30 2025
      As 2025 comes to a close, we’re stepping back from individual destinations to reflect on how we traveled this year, and how that is starting to shift everything for us. From revisiting familiar places in new ways to discovering hidden regions, connecting deeply with locals, and saying yes to moments we almost skipped, this episode is about travel moments and experiences that stay with you long after the trip ends. Instead of chasing checklists, we focused on connection, curiosity, and slowing down, and those choices led to some of our most meaningful travel moments yet. Some links are affiliate links. See our disclosure. Help Support the Podcast by Buying us a Coffee ☕️ What You'll Discover in this Episode: How we Revisited Familiar Places but Differently Alaska: Experiencing it by cruise after a previous road trip, flying over glaciers, landing at a remote lodge, and enjoying unrushed family time London: Staying at a bucket-list hotel, exploring new neighborhoods, using a city pass to try experiences we’d never done before, and learning to say yes to spontaneity Berlin & Hong Kong: Seeing cities through the lens of major political change—and how perspective shifts over time How we Connected Through Food & Locals A sangria-making class in Barcelona that completely changed what we thought sangria was Why booking small-group tours—and inviting guides to eat with you—can unlock the most authentic experiences Unforgettable food moments in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Ireland, where meals became conversations, cultural lessons, and memories New Regions & Hidden Gems Iceland stopover: Northern Lights, waterfalls, black sand beaches, and letting the landscape—not the clock—set the pace Northern Ireland & Donegal: Slowing down, renting a car, and discovering areas that surprised us the most Why going beyond the “must-see” list often delivers the richest travel experiences New Ways of Traveling Walking through Umbria, Italy, town to town—luggage transported, senses fully engaged Why walking (and cycling) travel changed how we connect with landscapes and people Two very different cruises that reshaped how we think about cruise travel Lessons That Changed How We Travel Book tours with locals (smaller is better) Learn culture through food Be willing to miss something in order to go deeper Remember: destinations aren’t designed to make you comfortable—they’re home to someone else Moments We Almost Missed, but Didn’t Whale watching in Eden, Australia Extending an Alaska trip to Denali Saying yes to Ireland at the last minute Volunteering abroad—and how it reshaped future travel plans 2025 Milestones & Looking Ahead to 2026 Reaching 6 out of 7 continents (with the final one coming soon!) Counting countries—and debating what “counts.” Why we’ve barely scratched the surface What’s coming in 2026: Antarctica, safari, and more Our Takeaways from 2025 What mattered most this year wasn’t how far we went or how many places we saw; it was how intentional we became. The shared meals, quiet moments, and unplanned detours reminded us why we travel in the first place. As we head into 2026, our mission remains the same: to help you travel more and better.
