What We Cover in This Episode What would motivate a family of globetrotting Australians to settle down in Raleigh, North Carolina. The best and worst time of year to visit Raleigh, NC. A local's two favorite hotels to stay at in Raleigh, including one boutique hotel and one hidden secret on a lake. The best spot to get a traditional southern breakfast in Raleigh, NC. A local coffee spot that pours a "perfect cup." A spot in Raleigh where you can hike, bike, kayak, and paddleboat on a lake amongst the pine and oak trees. The best spot for brunch with views of the city. A popular, casual lunch option that caters to everyone and serves up delicious mimosa buckets. An 11-mile bike trail that's great for seeing the area, as well as taking in some culture. A lake an hour outside of the city where there are no crowds, and you can enjoy all of your water activities. The best spot for dinner in Raleigh, North Carolina. The best bars and breweries to wind down at after a long day of adventure. The two best spots to watch the sunset in Raleigh, NC. How to find a popular Instagram spot in the city. An overrated neighborhood in Raleigh, and where you should spend your time instead. Quotes Caroline: It's a wonderful lifestyle. I think it's very outdoorsy, very jovial, fun, vibrant, friendly, welcoming. Very welcoming, Raleigh really is. And it just has a sense of vibrancy here. People are very friendly. People are very happy and very content. When we were going back and forth and moving back to Australia and every time we came back, it just hit me, as soon as I'd arrive. Oh my gosh. Everyone is so friendly here. I mean, I'm from Australia. I find people in Australia to be quite friendly, but it's just so obvious how friendly and welcoming people are. I mean, every person has a sign in their yard, you know, everyone's welcome here, and it really is that in Raleigh. It's very special in that way. It also feels like you live in a forest. It's called the city of Oaks. And I mean, we're just surrounded by trees, and we're immersed in this kind of green lifestyle, which I think really adds to people's sense of happiness and contentment. There's a lot of fun things happening in Raleigh. There's always a festival on. There's always a music event on. And it's really growing a lot over the last couple of years, and the food scene has just exploded. And you know, it's a great location. We're just over an hour to the beach. We're three to four hours to the mountains. And then we're halfway between New York and Florida, which is really important for us because you know, we love to travel so much. So that accessibility to lots of exciting places to visit is important for us in where we choose to live.

Travel blogs make great reading, but do travel blogs make a good business? Today's guest joining us on the Join Up Dots podcast believes in travel, more travel and then when she is finished and wants a bit of rest: Travel. And this is not the pack your bags for two weeks each year, or for as many weekends as you can get, kind of adventure. She is a believer that “Your life does not have to fit in a box. You don't have to live behind the picket fence, slave away at that full-time job that sucks you dry, and the monotonous peak hour traffic runs. You can have the picket fence and a job you love of course, but, we're pretty sure you at least want to escape your everyday life for weekend getaways or a three-week vacation every year.” But what is the fascinating thing about today's guest, is how close she came to buying into the status quo that life seems to be lived by. Settling into the routine or a life lived on other peoples terms. After meeting each other, falling madly in love and then beginning a five year honeymoon as they travelled the world teaching English, things came to a halt As she says “We returned home after the honeymoon and hit a major slump. This travel life we loved was over. That thinking changed everything and before we knew it we were chasing money making schemes all over the world trying to get the riches we needed to keep travelling. Let's just say $500,000 and no self-esteem later we woke up.” “Why do we need to wait until we have the money to live what's in our hearts? Why not just start with what is in the heart today?” And with that thought, and I'm sure more than a touch of apprehension they set off on what has become their life, travelling, blogging and helping others to buy into the start the dream today mentality with their top ranked blog “Y Travel” and now with two children in tow, their success, and ability to grab more experiences in a month than most of us have in a lifetime is assured. So what was it about the nomadic lifestyle that had such a pull on them? And is it something that they think everyone can do, or does it take a certain type of mindset? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, with the one and only Caroline Makepeace. Show Highlights During the show we discussed such weighty topics with Caroline Makepeace such as: Why the words of Steve Jobs send shivers down her spine, as she has learnt from life that everything works out for the best. You may not know how this will happen but it does. How she is so aware that she can't escape the mundane routines of life that everybody else has to deal with, but can make sure that the experiences of life in between are so much better than everyone else. Why it is so important to get back to the things that you really loved as a kid, to build a life around the passion. Doing this helps you push through the hard times so much more easily. How her parents were so supportive with her dream to travel the world, although they would have been very happy for to get a safe job too. And lastly……… Why it is so important to watch out for the energy vampires in your life, and to ensure that you pull away as much as possible from the naysayers, and dream slayers.
