Who needs a week off when you’ve got one well-planned day and a cheap flight alert? In this bite-sized episode, we dive into the viral world of micro-travel—where jet-setters are hopping on planes for whirlwind 24-hour adventures and making the most of every minute (and dollar).

Whether you’re travel-curious, budget-conscious, or just itching to escape the ordinary, this episode will have you rethinking what a “real trip” looks like. Spoiler: it doesn’t involve PTO. The possibilities are endless.

Festival season is sneaking up fast, and we’ve rounded up some of the weirdest and most wonderful ways to celebrate. Lizette and Jason dive into May’s best offbeat events — from wiener dog races in Tampa (yes, there’s a senior division and a "Chariots of Fire" race for wheelchair-assisted pups), to the artsy, music-filled Wildflower Festival in Texas, to Louisiana’s famous Frog Festival, where frog jumping contests and frog-themed parades are just the beginning.

Whether you're in it for the music, the dachshunds, or the questionable decision to host a frog croaking contest, there’s a little something for every curious traveler.

Tune in and find your next wonderfully weird adventure.
