  Welcome Home: Season One Finale and a Big Announcement

  Jul 29, 202647 minS1

  Fifty episodes. One season. And the announcement I've been keeping secret from almost everyone in my life, until now. This is the Season One finale of the Type 2 Travel Podcast, and it's the sequel to Under Construction, the biggest episode in the history of this show. That one was recorded days before I left for a two-month trip through India, Kenya, Egypt, and Morocco. This one is everything that happened after I hit publish: the phone call that changed the trajectory of my business on day one, the house that refused to sell until I came home to say goodbye, and the realization that snuck up on me somewhere in between: for the first time in five years, I don't need this business to survive. Which left me holding a question I couldn't put down all spring...if it's not about survival anymore, what is it for? This episode is the answer. The whole five-year story — where I started, what it cost me, what it quietly built while I wasn't looking — and a first look at what's coming next. Upcoming Trips Mentioned Camp Lola Whiskey (Hayward, WI): August 27–30, 2026 Greece (coed): September 19–27, 2026 Georgia (coed): October 2–11, 2026 2027 Waitlists for Colombia, Kenya, Morocco, Egypt, Greece (+ more) Links & Resources (This Episode) Join the email list — the next chapter of Type 2 Travel lands there first Read: " No Mud, No Lotus " Read: " Under Construction ” Links & Resources (Laura) Follow my personal IG: @lolawhiskey Follow my business IG: @lauraericsongrouptrips Follow our podcast: @type2travelpodcast Learn more about upcoming trips Check out our podcast page Join my Facebook group: @lolalovestravel Thanks for being here!

  Unique Things to Do in Wisconsin This Summer with The Cabin Podcast

  Jul 22, 202643 minS1

  In this episode, I sit down with Andrea and Megan on The Cabin , a podcast all about the best of Wisconsin. This episode is all about the best of summer in Wisconsin. We're talking camping in the middle of the Wisconsin River, a floating bar on an island, pizza farms, alpacas, dark sky parks, and a cheese curd crawl in my hometown of Eau Claire, Wisconsin. If you thought Type 2 Travel only happened abroad, think again, because it's alive and well right here, and I think we do it best. And I might spend a third of my year on the other side of the world, but I'm a Wisconsin girl at heart and always long to be home. We also get into Camp Lola Whiskey, my adult summer camp happening August 27–30 in Hayward. If a pickle fountain, bloody mary bar, adult spelling bee, and brandy old fashioned happy hour sound good to you, then make sure you sign up now. There are only a few spots left, and camp closes for booking on July 31.

  <p>Nikki turned 40 last September, and she hadn't traveled internationally in almost half that time.

  Clean Beauty Myths Every Traveler Needs to Know with KOOK Sunscreen

  May 27, 202652 minS1

  <p>Most of us have grabbed a bottle of SPF 50 at the airport without reading a single ingredient. And most of us have stood at the edge of the water thinking we're doing the right thing because the label says "reef safe." Christina Kuklinski would like a word.</p><p>She quit a career that was killing her, spent two years diving the world's most protected reef systems, watched her hair break off from daily saltwater exposure, and couldn't find a single product that solved the problem without making the reef situation worse. So she built one.</p><p>Kook...

  Travel for Free Using Credit Card Points and Miles with Katie Holden

  May 20, 202657 minS1

  <p>Katie Holden didn't come to the points and miles game because she wanted a hobby. She came because she needed to make travel work on a real budget. Like funding a nine-month family gap year on $50 a day budget. Once she did, she realized there wasn't a lot of good information out there for people in her exact situation. So she built it herself.</p><p>Katie is the founder of Katie's Travel Tricks, and her philosophy is simple: you shouldn't have to pay money to learn how to save money. Whether you're brand new to this or you've...
