"Deer"lirious in Ireland

We have arrived in Ireland!

Join us as we get accustomed to driving on the "wrong" side of the road...while lacking sleep from our flight from New York.

We visit our first castle, get addicted to all things Cadbury, learn about Waterford Crystal, and start checking things off of our Ireland wish list!

Key Takeaways:

1. Always order hot chocolate...and don't forget the Bailey's!

2. In three days, you will finally be comfortable driving on the opposite side of the road!

3. Make a wish list...and be flexible with what you are able to fit in! Remember to enjoy every moment!

Off Your Beaten Path is a weekly travel podcast about trading in your daily grind for a life worth living! Take a new path each week as your hosts Nicole and George inspire you to live bold and explore outside the lines. Take that trip, work with purpose, and live a life less ordinary by getting Off Your Beaten Path.

New York State of Mind

Our trip is officially underway! We take you on the road with us as we make a very deliberate pit stop in New York City - Brooklyn to be exact! We just can't get enough of the city at Christmas!

On this episode, hear about our 19 hour journey to Ireland, which included a ferry ride, a few bumpy flights (one that was terrifying), and some fun new meetings with relatives!

We explored Brooklyn with a local, ate REAL bagels and dined at the iconic Grimaldi's Pizza. We were wowed by Broadway and rubbed elbows with famous people!

This week's takeaways:

1. Always tell your loved ones that you love them before getting on a flight!
2. Making a stop in New York City at the holidays is ALWAYS a good idea.
3. Check out Airbnb Experiences to really learn about a city!
4. No matter how tired you are, you must go see the Rockefeller Christmas tree!

How Seasonal Work Allows Us the Ultimate Work/Life Balance

One major perk of working in a seasonal world is that we can pick how long we want our vacations to last. In our opinion, this is the ultimate in work/life balance. We share with you how we are able to take an 81-day vacation to Europe, as well as our unique way we saved money to take this trip! Our European itinerary has been finalized and we will also release that today too!

Key Takeaways from today's episode:

1. Determine what work/life balance means to you...and then prioritize!

2. You have to be adaptable to change and willing to be flexible...even if you are a super planner!

3. You don't have to be rich to travel! You just have to be savvy and resourceful!

Envelope Challenge

Airbnb

Skyscanner

Google Flights

Auto Europe - Car To Europe rental lease program
