Show notes
Show Summary:
Have you noticed that everyone else's vacations seem way better than yours? Is your social media feed filled with perfectly posed sunset heart hand pics? Does all of this make travel seem overly complicated, expensive, and not for you? Our next guests are on a mission to spread the message about travel for REAL people. In today's episode of the Fat & Broke Podcast, we welcome Maggie and Caren from the blog Trek Simple to share with us their approach to travel and how we can all make exploring the world a reality.
