***Trigger Warning violent crimes and graphic content discussed ***

Have you ever considered staying at a haunted hotel? Have you ever visited the scene of a famous crime? This week I'm joined by author Dawn Barclay to discuss her upcoming book "Vacations Can Be Murder: A True Crime Lover's Travel Guide of New England." She tells us about some of the most shocking crimes she's discovered in her research for her books, true crime conventions, psychics, the supernatural and thoughts on living in a former crime scene, we had a really fun and fascinating conversation. Dive in this spooky season.

I’m taking a break! More like a pause

I’ll be home recovering from fibroid surgery in august and I really want to give myself the opportunity to rest. over the next 8 episodes, i’m going to be re-introducing you guys to some of my favorite episodes, and including yours.

I’ll be back on October 10th (10/10!!) with Episode 300, with a fresh and new episode in celebration of 6 years of Travel N Sh!t!!

While the episodes aren’t newly recorded, they may still be new to you! I’ve got nearly SIX years of content I’ll be going through.

I’ve got some fall travel coming up and guests booked for the upcoming weeks. I’d like to spend some time on the things that happen in the background and pouring into some of the ideas i just can’t stop thinking about over the last few years and months.

If you’d like to follow along and keep up with my projects along the way, join the mailing list. http://www.travelnshitpodcast.com/subscribe and be sure to follow on IG/Twitter/TikTok/ all at @travelnsh_t

*******************************************************************************

Thankfully, I’ve never knowingly encountered a shark during any of my time in the ocean, but this week’s guest searches them out and captures their beauty for us to admire from a distance. I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with filmmaker, marine biologist photographer and conservationist Inka Cresswell (one person!! C’mon multi hyphenated!) about her experiences in the world of the ocean like many of us only dream of experiencing. Dive in.

I see a travel conversation in everything. Why shouldn’t you take the ride, down my rabbit holes, with me?

I’m dCarrie and every Thursday I host an episode of Travel N Shit Podcast, where I delve into life’s curiosities through a travel lens. Travel N Shit is for the open minded dreamers, of the travel group. For the travelers who connect with new environments, through as many senses as possible. For the travelers who see theres a travel story in everything; if you connect the right dots.

I truly believe you can learn something from anyone if you ask the right questions. Whether you’re a new traveler who needs some inspiration, or an experienced traveler who’s looking for a new way to experience their travels; travel is so much more than vacation. It’s a connection through the mundane and magical aspects of life. Travel N Shit Podcast makes it all more accessible by exploring and expanding your belief of what travel actually is.

As an American, I never really given too much thought to American cultural norms as it pertains to my travels; I’ve generally been more concerned with any faux pas I may be committing abroad. This week, I dive into some American norms and customs as detailed to international students at a Penn State campus. Also, wtf was “Sweedengate”?! Dive in.

Nostalgia and influence play a part in shaping our views on many things. This week, I chat about what I was type of content I was consuming in the 90's/early 00's that lead to my views on travel as an adult. I also discuss how realizing the shift in my views on travel has inspired me to change the views on other aspects of life. Join me on the ride.

With the heatwave we’ve been experiencing in NY (and all over the world, honestly) and the election looming, global warming and climate change has been front of mind. Back in 2019, I recorded a really great episode (pats back) about the topic that still hits the mark. Dive in, stay cool and enjoy.

Have you considered how many ways there are for things to go wrong on a vacation? Unfortunately, bad things happen and there's nothing we can do to prepare. Two of my favorite podcasts to listen to, Crime Junkie and Park Predators often highlight the stories of the murdered and missing. This week I'm discussing three episodes of these shows where someone has been murdered, met their demise, or gone missing on vacation.
