Summary

We're headed to Morocco today, so we have travel on the brain. Not to mention, we both have a serious case of wanderlust, generally. This week, we're answering all your travel questions — from the best apps for flights, our top destinations to travel next, and our packing strategy (or in Becca's case, lack thereof)!

In other news, Grace almost couldn't go on this trip because of her passport drama, Becca's work life had a real turnaround (from low to high in one week), and Grace has a new style inspiration (Dads and retirees?).

Join us on September 5 for our next book club discussing Ghosted by Rosie Walsh.

Hi everyone, welcome to Bad on Paper Podcast. I'm Becca Freeman and I'm Grace Atwood.

0:22.4

And we're here with episode 23 and today we are talking all about travel.

0:28.0

Yes, which is fitting because today we leave for Morocco. Yes, and I'm so excited.

0:34.8

I can't believe we're going. Morocco is the top of my travel list for the past, I don't know, five years maybe.

0:40.3

Same. So I'm so excited to finally go and then I'm actually going to Portugal too.

0:45.5

I'm very jealous, but I'm coming home. I can't wait.

0:49.0

So before we get into all of the great travel questions that our listeners submitted, should we talk about our weeks?

0:54.6

Yes, let's do it. Becca, what was your high this week?

0:58.9

So last week I was saying that my low was that I was feeling really anxious about work.

1:04.1

And this week work is actually my high. I feel like I had such a productive week. I had so many meetings.

1:10.4

I'm so for everyone who or anyone who might be new, I quit my job at the end of May, took the summer off, took a little more time off than I anticipated.

1:25.8

And so I'm now in the thick of kind of meeting with people and lining up clients.

1:40.0

And like the whole biz dev piece of working for myself was really scary.

1:44.5

But I had so many good meetings this week. I sent out my first contract this morning.

1:49.7

So exciting. So it's not finalized yet, but hopefully it's going to go through.

1:54.9

And I'm feeling really good. And also I am really enjoying just like having so many meetings and getting to meet interesting people.

2:05.2

That's really fun.

2:06.3

Yeah, I feel like I've made a lot of new friends, like even though all of them won't turn into work projects, I feel like I've just been meeting so many cool people.

2:17.8

That's great. Yeah, so I'm feeling really positive.

2:21.0

And hopefully I have this contract signed before we leave for Morocco.
