Travis Sherry is a “Professional Traveler,” and that title really does cover about as many categories as you might expect. From his travel podcast to his new app for finding flight deals (and just about everything in between), Travis has made a name for himself as a travel hacking expert and internet entrepreneur. Yet despite his location independent status, Travis calls Philadelphia home, and that’s where we met up for today’s episode. Being as big a fan of beer as I am, Travis and I “rendezbrewed” at just north of Philly’s Center City. We cover everything from airline travel hacks to drinking Eastern European moonshine in Montenegro, and as a new dad, Trav even shares some tips on continuing to traveling internationally with children. But eventually all roads lead back to Philly, so make sure to tune in if you want to get a local’s take on the best cheesesteaks around town.

Ep. 40 | Paul ‘Donzo’ Donnelly | Historian at Belfast’s Dead Centre Tours | Live from The Garrick Bar in Belfast, Northern Ireland
20 years ago, you wouldn’t be traveling to the destination for this episode. Northern Ireland – and specifically Belfast – was ground zero for a nationalist conflict known as The Troubles, a decades-long bloody conflict between Loyalists determined to defend their British heritage, and Republicans seeking a united Ireland. But since the late 90’s, Belfast and Northern Ireland have changed, and our guest today is the perfect person to walk us through that evolving peace process. Paul ‘Donzo’ Donnelly is a history teacher by trade, but that barely scratches the surface. He’s been a mediator between Loyalist and Republican groups in Northern Ireland, working on dialogue projects between Loyalist and Republican ex-prisoners to help facilitate peace since the ceasefire. Donzo now leads – Belfast’s #1 walking tour – taking participants first-hand through the history of The Troubles, while including the other cultural elements that make Belfast as unique as it is edgy, from sports to punk rock. I met up with Donzo at on my latest Europe trip, an old Victorian-style Irish pub near Belfast’s City Centre. Grab a pint of Guinness, and pull up a chair for this big conversation.
