Travel Expectations vs. Reality: Getting Catfished, Sleeping With Vipers & Accidentally Spending 4K On A Hotel Room (oops) Artwork

OBSESSED WITH

Welcome to the Obsessed With… Podcast!

We’re Kim & Erran—partners in life, adventure, and business. We’ve been together since 2007, married in 2010, and living life our way ever since.

On this podcast, we’re pulling back the curtain with fun, juicy, and honest conversations about all the life things you’re probably figuring out too like—

Adding more travel & adventure into your life
Navigating big transitions, relationships, and marriage
Trying to figure out if kids fit into the picture—especially when you're in your 40s like us—its such a HUGE decision
Unapologetically Create a life of freedom on your OWN TERMS.

And how to juggle all the things without losing our minds.

This podcast is your official permission slip to unapologetically do life your way, change your mind a million times, and know you’re not alone in figuring it all out.

Our goal is to create a fun, zero-judgment, happy-hour-style space where we can all hang out, have real conversations, and navigate life together.

So grab a drink, get comfy, and let the OBSESSION BEGIN!

Travel is full of epic highs and unexpected lows—and let’s be real, things rarely go exactly as planned.

In this episode, we’re diving into travel expectations vs. reality and how to manage expectations so your trip isn’t totally derailed when things don’t go as planned.

We’re sharing some of our own travel fails and hilarious stories, like:
🏨 How we got completely catfished by our hotel in Koh Lanta 😅
💸 Almost paying $4K for a hotel by accident (oops)
🛵 Relaxing vs adventure vibes and what we've learned about ourselves
🐍 Our hotel stay that involved port-a-potties and vipers!!

Sometimes, it’s all about shifting your mindset to roll with the unexpected… and other times, you just gotta make a change and pivot!

We’re also talking about how our travel style has evolved over the years and why an open mind and flexibility are the #1 most important things when traveling.

If you’ve ever had a trip not live up to your expectations, this one’s for you!
