Why settle for one vacation story when you can get a whole passport’s worth in a single episode? Crystal Hammond and Joe Saul-Sehy are joined by fellow wanderlusters from the Stacking Adventures community to swap tales that stretch from Main Street U.S.A. to the shores of Zakynthos. Think budget-friendly Disney hacks, Parisian magic, Chicago deep-dish memories, and the kind of Greek beach you only find when you take a wrong turn and just keep driving.

In true Adventurer fashion, these stories aren’t just about where we went—they’re about what we learned along the way. Whether it’s how to make the most of Disney Vacation Club points, why rope drop might be your best friend, or which off-the-beaten-path spots will earn a permanent place on your bucket list, this episode is packed with practical tips wrapped in wanderlust. You’ll hear about unexpected gems, clever ways to stretch your travel budget, and the gear that makes every trip smoother.

If your suitcase is already half-packed (mentally, at least), get ready for new ideas to add to your itinerary and a few “I need to try that!” moments. Consider this your boarding call for a whirlwind tour of travel tales you’ll want to steal for your own adventures.
