How To Prepare For A Long Trip

ALLISON WETIG AND CEARA KIRKPATRICK
About this episode

Ep 143: Since we both just went on longer trips and as of this episode going live, we will be on a longer trip (Already Friends Podcast Trip to Costa Rica whoop whoop!), it was on our minds to prepare for longer travels. 

This episode's topic goes way beyond just packing your suitcase. We also talk about preparing your home, the mental side, to-do lists, financial planning and other random tips that we have discovered that help us prepare for traveling so we have the best time and come home feeling refreshed.
