The Life Bohemian podcast isn't all travel talk. Yes, there are traveled related questions and topics, but honestly, it's just about talking with really cool people. Everyone has a hometown and everyone has a story, each one as unique as the last, and bot
Being that it is our 50th episode, which we are super excited about, we wanted to welcome back Logan Vargas as our milestone guest. Since Jeremy and Logan are long-time best friends, Katie decided to sit this one out and let them go down the rabbit holes of Logan's many interests including WWE Figures, MMA, Summer Break Plans (we are jealous about the HOF trip to see Terrell Davis get inducted), and fishing. Jeremy also asks about Logan's thoughts trying a vegan restaurant for the first time. After all of that, they were able to find time to touch on the serious topic of addiction. If you or someone you know needs help overcoming addiction, check out http://drugabuse.com/library/drug-abuse-hotlines/ as a great resource.
So, Katie went to California without Jeremy (rude), and here are her stories about it, including what criteria she looks for in her favorite cities, her ghost encounter at one of Hollywood's oldest and most notorious hotels, and why Palm Springs will always be her Mecca. And as always with Katie, the conversation quickly turns to - and stays on - food.
Rose from Fit Snack Stops by to geek out on nutrition, fitness, and some childhood reminiscing with Jeremy. She was surprised to find out that she was one of the first people he met when he moved to Henderson, Colorado as a child. Rose breaks us down on some healthy snacking options and shares the story of how her and her sister started their subscription company. She ends the episode with a very uplifting and positive mantra but not before she drops the 50% off of your first box offer just by being part of The Life Bohemian Family. Just go to www.fitsnack.com/family to take advantage of the offer and to start getting your snack on!
Running with our Season 2 theme, we thought it might be time to really dive into what we've been up to. Life is not quite as exciting as when we were living over in Europe (not getting kicked off trains, smuggling Lilly into a new country, or standing on the sidewalk outside Starbucks at 1am stealing their wifi), but that doesn't mean we aren't making the most of it!
We're baaaaaack! In what we've recently deemed Season 2 (!!!), we're finally back from our unintended hiatus, and ready to party with our voices. In this episode, we're talking about what's next for us, why we chose this particular trip, the beginning stage of planning, and why we've been gone so long (it won't happen again, promise!). Thanks for listening to Season 2.
We "met" Amanda online (how all good relationships begin these days), when she reached out and asked us to be guests on her podcast, The Thoughtful Travel Podcast. Of course we said yes, and bonded instantly with Amanda. She's lucky enough to live in gorgeous Australia (accent envy!) and we chatted across the miles in this episode. She also encouraged our obsession with animals by showing us the #quokkaselfie hashtag on Instagram.
Hooman Bahrani is sort of a legend in the Kloberdanz household. He was our wedding photographer many years ago, and tore up the dance floor at the reception. He's also a good friend, and our #1 source for really cool news stories. In this episode, we talk about it all, from Hooman's career once upon a time as a corporate airline pilot to what he thinks is the best equipment for an amateur photographer.
Today we have our first ever repeat guest, and it's a good one - Alaina Isbouts! We talked to Alaina about her recent road trip through Scotland, England, and Ireland (including lots of scotch!). She also tells us about her newly completed book and the Top 5 places on her travel wish list. You can also hear Jeremy invite himself along on every single one of those trips!
You know that game you play around the Thanksgiving table? The one where everyone goes around and says what they're thankful for? We decided to play a mini version of the game, except with just two people, no turkey, and with Jeremy correctly guessing the first (and most important!) item on my list. Happy Thanksgiving everyone, thank you so much for listening, and we hope you enjoy this weekend with your family and friends. (PS and here's hoping for minimal political fights around the table.)
What do you get when you put two people who are on the last leg of travel, feeling terribly sick, and trying to record a relevant podcast episode? Well, you get a show about something we made up called cathedral fatigue, disappearing cough drops, our time in Budapest, the upcoming road trip with Jeremy's parents, and alien encounters that may have resulted in a chip implant that destroys iPhones.
Did you know that when corals get stressed, they die? What do corals have to be stressed about? CURRENT EVENTS!! Get it? Ok, sorry. Today, we're talking yes, current events and a little life update in an episode dedicated to Katie's best friend Katie, who always asks what we do all day and how we manage to have any fun.
What's one thing not to bring up at a dinner party? Politics! Well, good thing this isn't a dinner party and it's just two people sitting around a slightly wobbly IKEA table in Budapest. We don't get a ton of election related media exposure (especially since Katie deactivated Facebook!), so this is us trying our best to figure it all out.
We started our podcast with one very simple goal: to talk to interesting people and hear their stories. Well, that's exactly what we're doing in this episode. Katie McKnoulty created The Travelling Light, a website where she shares beautiful photos and stories from her travels around the world. Currently camped out in Paris, Katie talked to us about everything from her early exposure to travel to an upcoming (spontaneous!!) trip to India.
Did you guys know we were in Slovenia last week? Well, we were and it was nothing short of amazing! I mean, nearly everything was amazing, aside from a couple of interesting incidents on a bus up to Lake Bled…
Paul Kortman and his wife Becky are living the travel dream - with 4 kids and a dog in tow! Passionate about showing families that travel doesn't end with kids, The Kortmans have a popular blog and Facebook group. Check out this episode if you want to laugh along with us at one of Paul's more unfortunate visa runs between Mexico and Guatemala (sorry to laugh at your pain, Paul!).
Last week by the coast?! Leaving the beach behind?! Say it isn't so! In this mini-episode, we give a quick update on where we are, what we're doing, and how dramatic Katie is being about leaving the sea behind. (For the record, the answer is REALLY dramatic.)
Wait, What? That is right, another week down in Croatia. Today, Katie and I talk about everything from cat parks, coffee shops, and cliff jumps as we have done it all in Split over the last week. Plus Jeremy starts his campaign for someone to help him get a new Lagoon 42 Catamaran.
Week one in the books in Split. Check out this episode to hear what we have experienced in this magical place.
“How do you guys spend 24/7 together?!” One of our most popular questions finally gets an answer! What we do all day is have really in depth (sometimes crazy) conversations. This morning we started a weird convo, then decided to record it instead. Hopefully this gives a bit of insight into what it's like to spend all day every day with your partner.
Katie Reveals her secrets on how to get great deals while booking travel. She is a wizard who probably taught the first Jedi when it comes to this.
Today, Katie and I talk about the ups and downs of always "needing" to be online. Not only is it a job requirement, but it's the reason we get to travel like we do. Plus, it's how we keep in touch with our friends and family back home. But constant connectivity isn't without its pitfalls. Plus, is there anything we can change to be more in the moment?
The mother-in-law is back! As we're nearing the end of our trip through Greece and Cyprus, Beck, Katie, and I discuss all the things we've done for the very first time the past month. Some are big things, some are small, but all are meaningful in their own way. Plus, you'll hear what really big thing is coming up at the last minute!
Today, Jeremy reconnects with his old high school buddy, Jerod Sena, better known by his artist's moniker of Teddy Nigels. While he now does incredible tattoos, he wasn't always on that path. The guys break down the road to embracing art as a career, and discuss a bit of philosophy while they're at it. Follow: You can find art and information about his tattoo work at http://www.teddynigels.com and on Instagram.
This episode is an extra special one, because it features my mother-in-law. I've spent the last 10 years or so picking on her for various reasons and have told many a funny story about her on this very podcast. Finally, the infamous Mother-in-Law is here to defend herself... you'll just have to listen to see how well that goes!

What do you do when you feel like you've hit a crossroads in your life? For Alaina Isbouts, you move to Prague on a whim. Listen as Jeremy and Alaina discuss her decision to move, how it drastically changed her life, and why her two young boys have a travel fund (because how cool is that?!).
