About this listen

🚶‍♂️💤 Medieval peasants didn’t have hotels, cozy Airbnbs, or even a roadside inn most of the time. So where did they crash when traveling long distances? The answers are rough: barns, ditches, monastery floors, or anywhere a landlord maybe wouldn’t kick them out. From straw piles that doubled as bug hotels to the rare (and smelly) communal inn, peasant travel was anything but glamorous.

Close your eyes and drift off as we explore the not-so-comfy world of medieval road trips—where “budget travel” really meant survival.

👉 Boring History For Sleep | Mud, straw, and surprisingly good snoring material.
