Marrying Your Passions: The DINK Travel and Adventure Podcast
About
Welcome to Marrying Your Passions: The DINK Travel and Adventure Podcast! We're Nathan and Alicia, a childfree couple proving you don't have to wait for "someday" to live your best life. Join us as we share travel adventures, marathon stories, foodie discoveries, and honest advice for DINKs (Dual Income, No Kids), empty nesters, and anyone prioritizing adventure NOW. We've explored 47 states, camped across 11,775 miles in our teardrop trailer, visited National Parks from coast to coast, traveled internationally to places like England and Kenya, and Nathan's run marathons in 40 states (and counting). From hunting down the best deep-dish pizza in Chicago to testing moonshine across multiple states to SCUBA diving in the Caribbean, we've learned that the freedom to travel - and eat well - comes from making it a priority, not waiting for the perfect time. Whether we're reviewing adults-only cruises, sharing destination marathon experiences, discovering hidden gem restaurants, exploring breweries and distilleries, or explaining how we turned Alicia's work conferences into cross-country road trips, we're here to inspire you to make adventure part of your everyday life. Plus, you'll meet Peppermint Patty, our dog who predicts college football games (she's 13-3 this season, just saying). We believe life gets richer when you marry your passions with meaningful connections and the freedom to pursue them. Whether you're DINKs like us, empty nesters with newfound freedom, or couples figuring out how to travel more - this podcast is for you. New episodes every other week. Let's make it happen!
