Obviously, this year travel has been a lot different but we are still going to cover the nerdy statistics of 2020 in the traveling we have been able to do. We'll figure out about how many miles we traveled, how many different places we slept in, and how many states we visited plus much, much more! We'll be covering road trips, accommodations, and some experiences, but food and drink have their own episodes coming later this month. So if you're into the numbers, or would like to compare your stats with ours have a listen! And then definitely reach out to @ExtraPackofPeanuts and let us know some of your stats like how many miles did you travel in 2020, the number of countries or states that you visited, and/or what's next for 2021 especially post vaccine!   In This Episode 06:16 Slept In How Many Places & The Breakdown 11:15 Longest Consecutive Time In One Place 14:40 Beach House Stats: Visitors vs Alone Time vs Airbnb Rentals 20:20 Flights 21:10 Overland Miles 23:00 Number of Countries 23:25 Number of States 24:00 Final Thoughts & What's Next Important Links Want to follow our lives & adventures?

To say that we didn't get to any of the places we had on our 2020 Travel Wishlist would be an understatement but that is what makes our 2021 list that much more special.

Heather and I are going through our top 5/6 destinations (and some honorable mentions), including a couple of surprising destinations from us both. Where will we go first?

We are trying something different today as we have crowdsourced from you our EPOP community, over on Instagram, all of your favorite holiday movies. We had you list your top 5 by rank and each number had a point amount which ended up giving us the top 10...yes, there was math, and yes, we did use a calculator because we are all business here 🤪. Thank you so much for everyone that participated and if you enjoy this style of episode then we would love to do more in the future. Let us know over on Instagram if you want us to do more of these!
