As a world traveler and someone who lives off of their motorcycle, we thought Zee Traveler would be a great person to enlighten us about travel on a budget to help Brother Bacon and company on their Alaska adventures. We also dive into some conversation around travel outside of the United States and we had a great time having Zee as our special guest for this episode.
