S11:E4 – On a map, Shenandoah looks like a small, basic national park. It’s basically one road along the ridge of mountains. That’s why Jamin and Hilarie were delighted by its breathtaking views – both from hilltops to inside the mountains themselves. From Old Rag Mountain to Camp Rapidan, this is the same wilderness where U.S. President Herbert Hoover and his wife came to rest and reset during his presidency. Beneath it all, there are (literally) countless miles of caves—the Endless Caverns—where the temperature consistently stays 55F and where Jamin and Hilarie met true darkness for the first time.For more context, check out the video that accompanies this podcast (S11:E4 Shenandoah | A Presidential Suite in the Wilderness) on YouTube (https://youtu.be/ilmccnrHfVU).

S11:E3 – Being blown off course by a hurricane lead to some exciting adventures for Jamin and Hilarie and their dog, Maggie, as they experienced fall in New England. They eat “a medium amount of good pizza” in Scranton, PA before exploring all that Northampton, MA has to offer. Once the storm subsides, they are able to make their way to Maine and discover what all the fuss around Acadia National Park is all about. Maggie got to experience all the puppy-friendly trails, and Hilarie and Jamin did a thrill-seeking hike on the ladder trails. Cadillac Mountain and Bar Harbor also played their part in this adventure for the Travel FOMO crew, and Acadia became Jamin’s favorite national park.For more context, check out the video that accompanies this podcast (S11:E3 Acadia + Bar Harbor | Dog-Friendly Favorites 🐾) on YouTube (https://youtu.be/tikTM8YT4fI).

S11:E2 – Are bears even real? Jamin was on the verge of losing all belief and was beginning to think that bears were simply a threatening thought that ensured campgrounds stayed tidy. His faith was restored we saw a breathtaking black bear run across our path on the Little River Trail in the Great Smoky Mountains. Come with us as we go “East in the Airstream” to The Great Smoky Mountains, Imagination Mountain campgrounds, Gatlinburg, Tennessee Cider Company, Pigeon Forge and Rainbow Falls.

Have you ever been some place that felt like home…And then you found out that it kind of WAS? That’s what happened to Hilarie when they went to Tennessee. Without realizing it, she was sleeping a few miles away from a family cemetery where her ancestors were buried.It’s a new season (“East in the Airstream”) of the Travel FOMO podcast, and Jamin and Hilarie are hitting up new sights across the East Coast. From musical madness of Broadway in Nashville to the quiet solitude of Cedars of Lebanon State Park, Tennessee had a lot to offer the couple. Jamin’s lifelong interest in Johnny Cash took them to his namesake museum. And as part of a completely opposite experience, they stumbled across a life-size replica of the Parthenon – just like they saw in Athens, Greece a few months before.

S10:E7 – That John Denver knew what he was talking about… After enjoying the Rocky Mountains for years, we finally made our way into the official Rocky Mountain National Park, where we were immediately blown away by the wildlife sightings. In addition to a morning hike in the Bear Lake area, we also made our way up Trail Ridge Road, the highest road in America, and enjoyed the glamour of The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park. We also did some research on the Blue Mist that haunts this old mountain range. Tune in to hear some of the crazy tales that have been passed down over the years.

S10:E6 – Each Native American tribe lived differently, and the ancestorial pueblo people of Mesa Verde were especially unique. With their cliffside homes carved out of mountains, the communities were safely tucked away from weather elements, dangerous wildlife and attacks of the enemy. Check out this podcast to hear the myths and the facts behind Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado, as well as our experience on the most scenic train in the United States, which we rode from Durango to Silverton.For more context, check out the video that accompanies this podcast (S10:E6 Mesa Verde – Life on the Edge (+ Durango) on YouTube (https://youtu.be/SjkH6A6bqYs).

S10:E4 – Arizona is beautiful, but it might not be the best place to bring your Airstream during the summer, as we found out the minute we arrived to Lake Powell. Airstreams are basically a tin can, soaking up heat in the sun, and this part of the world doesn’t offer much in the way of tree coverage. But the views of Horseshoe Bend were spectacular, and even easier to access than we expected.

S10:E3 – Everything about Zion National Park is extreme, which is right up Hilarie’s alley. But the Angel’s Landing hike was on another level. Every step was heart-stopping. Worth repeating? Not sure. Then there’s a canyon valley trail called The Narrows, where hundreds of people hike with their feet submerged in the cold water of a river. And it becomes even more thrilling when you consider that summer storms from miles away can bring devastating flash floods – with nowhere for hikers to turn.For more context, check out the video that accompanies this podcast (S10:E3 Scared to Death | First Timers Hike Angel’s Landing in Zion) on YouTube (https://youtu.be/G7Bd9uK-hdI).

In this episode, they discuss the hardest road they would haul their Airstream down in all of Gap Year, California’s Highway 120. Once they finally arrived at their RV park, they were faced with pirates – or at least, a reality show full of them. With that much excitement outside of the park, America’s most iconic National Park had its work cut out for it. Yosemite isn’t the top of the list for nothing; it delivered in a big way. Listen in while the couple describes some of their favorite hikes. From the Mist Trail and Cathedral Lakes, all the way to Mariposa Grove, they will let you know what it was like to discover the American icon that is Yosemite.For more context, check out the video that accompanies this podcast (S10:E1 Yosemite National Park: First-Timers React to Hiking Mist Trail) on YouTube (https://youtu.be/TPCW8QEgvZI).

S9:E12 – Big Sur has some big views. But when you’re hauling an extra-wide Airstream, it takes some effort to get there. We braved the hairpin curves of the Pacific Coast Highway to make our way to the Big Sur Campground & Cabins. Amidst the classic Bixby Bridge and Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, it was the perfect location for us. Tune in to hear about the heavily photographed McWay Falls and the secluded Sand Dollar Beach.For more context, check out the video that accompanies this podcast (S9:E12 Foggy Views of the Pacific Coast Highway | Big Sur by RV) on YouTube (https://youtu.be/raWhagZE4y0).

S9:E11 – We took a break from the wilderness and decided to take Maggie, our golden doodle, to explore a different kind of National Park: the Golden Gate Bridge and Presidio of San Francisco. We couldn’t pass up a chance to see the Palace of Fine Arts and grab some grub at Pier 39. Before exploring more of the city, Maggie got to lay her eyes on Sea Lions for the first time. (She was not a fan.)Meanwhile, Hilarie got to live her childhood dream of searching for Uncle Jessie outside the Painted Ladies houses, where Full House sitcom was filmed. “Whatever happened to predictability?...”To get the full picture, check out the video that accompanies this podcast (S9:E11 Dog-Friendly Day in the Bay | Maggie Moodle Gets a San Francisco Treat 🐾) on YouTube (https://youtu.be/nHU-T-zy1c4).

S9:E10 – There’s one thing you definitely need when visiting the Redwood National & State Parks: a vehicle. Ironically, our Ford F250 was giving out on us right when we arrived. Meanwhile, Hilarie has a mini-meltdown caused by their ongoing lack of connection to the outside world. Fortunately, we were able to get it fixed, despite being in the middle of nowhere in California. Hundreds of dollars and a new alternator later, we were back in business, discovering the forests, beaches and wildlife of the Redwoods.For more context, check out the video that accompanies this podcast (S9:E10 California Redwoods | Truck Problems in the Middle of Nowhere 😩) on YouTube (https://youtu.be/PsMrJd-d1VU).

S9:E9 – When we checked into Mazama Campground at Crater Lake National Park, we were caught off guard when we realized that our RV site didn’t have hookups…at all. How could we have forgotten?! Fortunately, we had a heck of a cliffside view – perhaps the best location in all of Crater Lake. In addition to the stark beauty of the lake, we enjoyed a day trip to Bend, Oregon and a drive through Cascade Lakes. Meanwhile, the mice have struck again! But maybe this time we’ll get them once and for all…For more context, check out the video that accompanies this podcast on YouTube (https://youtu.be/-2p6NhIJ-wk) – “Sunrise on Crake Lake (+ a Day Trip to Bend, OR).”Send us your feedback and thoughts via email at travelfomopodcast@gmail.com.

S9:E7 – There’s a lot to see in Olympic National Park – three ecosystems (rainforest, ocean and mountains) that cover the span of 1 million square miles. Each year, the park’s Hoh Rainforest gets more than 12’ of rain, which ensures the photogenic Sol Duc Falls continues to thrive. Then there’s Rialto Beach, one magnificent piece of the 73 miles of coastline. There are a handful of dog-friendly trails too, such as Spruce Railroad Trail and Peabody Creek Trail. Hurricane Ridge lends itself to incredible mountain tops views, with convenient hikes. We thoroughly enjoyed this massive park and its diverse features.Meanwhile, back at camp, our Airstream become infested with mice. Not cool. If you’ve ever traveled in an RV, you might have experienced this too.

S9:E3 – We jumped into full-time RV life, and it didn’t take long for us to have our first bear encounter. Glacier National Park is known for its gorgeous glacier lakes – and for one fateful night of two separate grizzly bear attacks that changed the national park system forever.

Season 7 – Gap Year: Mediterranean EuropeEpisode 10 If you’re planning a trip to Italy, chances are, you are seriously considering some time in Florence. And for good reason. The city center consists of an incredible Duomo di Firenze, the David statue by Michelangelo, Piazza Della Signoria and Italy’s most visited museum, The Uffizi Gallery. Not into the museum vibes? Enjoy your relaxing near the Ponte Vecchio bridge, eat some Florentine steak, shop for an Italian leather souvenir or grab some grub at Mercato Centrale Firenze.We did all those things and more – including a Chianti wine tour in the hills of Tuscany.

Season 7 – Gap Year: Mediterranean EuropeEpisode 9Looking for a less conventional way to see Venice? Instead of a traditional gondola ride, we decided to book a private lesson to learn to row Venetian style.

Season 7 – Gap Year: Mediterranean Europe(Episode 7)How far would you travel for an epic lunch? We went all the way to Milan, just to get Papa Francesco’s famous pasta – a meal that we had anticipated for THREE YEARS.Rewind to 2019, we had just landed in Milan and were working up an appetite for our first authentic Italian dinner as a couple. We’d made a reservation at the popular Papa Francesco’s restaurant, but when we arrived, the language barrier and a convincing host whisked us away and pulled us into the mediocre and deceptive restaurant next door, which was decorated to look exactly like Papa Francesco’s. By the time we realized the error, our dinner was already underway. Fast forward to present day, we made our way BACK to Milan with one sole purpose: to eat from Papa Francesco’s famous wheel of cheese.Hear all about the original fiasco in one of our first podcast episodes, available on YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts: https://youtu.be/U8cuVZO9jzE.

Season 7 – Gap Year: Mediterranean EuropeEpisode 6Cinque Terre is picture perfect, like something you’d see on a postcard or in a puzzle. In fact, we literally put together a puzzle of Cinque Terre as we dreamed up our gap year adventures in a tiny apartment in Dallas. And now, we’re pinching ourselves.Come with us INSIDE the puzzle, as we visit the five tiny fishing villages of Cinque Terre, Italy – a region designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a national park. Known for its rugged coastline along the Italian Riviera, the small towns each sit on the sea, far from the modern conveniences of the rest of the world. Unlike many tourists today, we’ll hike the entire length of the centuries old trail between Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore. It’s a bucket list item – and a physical challenge that won’t be forgotten.Are you planning a trip to Cinque Terre?

What’s it like to visit a millionaire’s playground when you’re not a millionaire? We’ll tell you in this episode of Travel FOMO. Monte Carlo is the ol’ stompin’ grounds for James Bond and American actress-turned-royal Grace Kelly. But even if you’re not 007, you can still enjoy this gorgeous cliffside city. Perched on and around a cliff on the French Riviera, Monte Carlo is part of Monaco, the second smallest country in the world. There’s a palace, the Grand Prix, and yachts galore.

Season 7 – Gap Year: Mediterranean EuropeEpisode 3 (Podcast Audio)Ever wonder what life would be like inside of a Dr. Suess book? Come with us to find out! During this trip to Barcelona, we’re focusing on Antonio Gaudi’s incredible work. The famous architect is known for inspiring the monstrous, unfinished church called La Sagrada Familia.

In this episode of the Travel FOMO podcast, we’ll share what we learned from our expert Gaudi guide, Patrick.

Season 7 – Gap Year: Mediterranean EuropeEpisode 1Border cities are the best! San Sebastian-Donista sits on the border of northern Spain and southwest France, an area known as Basque country. As such, it’s home to its own language (Basque), foods (like pintxos), culture and weather. Like many Spanish cities, San Sebastian is sunny during the day and lively at night. And like most French architecture, the bridges and buildings are extravagant and regal. With two gorgeous beaches, pedestrians enjoy striking views that unobstructed by hotels and restaurants. Not to mention, there’s a historic castle on a hill (Castillo de la Mota) and a palace (Miramar Palace).It’s hard to believe, but this entire city was raided and burned to the ground in the 1800s, following a deadly and dramatic war attack that killed half of the residents. But instead of starting over in a new place, the remaining citizens (mostly women) rebuilt the city one brick at a time. Curious where Jamin and Hilarie stayed? Here's a link to their AirBnB in San Sebastian (non-sponsored): https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/32665603?check_in=2023-09-11&check_out=2023-09-12&guests=1&adults=1&s=67&unique_share_id=4dcff5cc-720c-4f5d-bcc8-1620dbc1715f You can subscribe to Travel FOMO in two different ways: (1) See their adventures on YouTube and (2) follow audibly from wherever you listen to podcasts.

Are you a theater fanatic? Hilarie is! (Go figure...) But even if you’re not, you’ll still love the history and charm behind Shakespeare’s hometown of Stratford-Upon-Avon.
This small English city has protected and cultivated the history of Shakespeare, who is widely believed to be the greatest writer in the English-speaking world. Not only did he write plays for the stage, like "Romeo & Juliet," he also coined many of the terms we still use today – things like, “It’s all Greek to me!” Walk with Jamin and Hilarie through the streets of Stratford-Upon-Avon, where this hopeless romantic was born, where he fell in love with his wife (Anne Hathaway), and where he was ultimately laid to rest. Theater productions like "War of the Roses" are performed regularly at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre here. While staying in the city, Jamin and Hilarie also took day trips to Warwick Castle and The Cotswolds.
So much to see. So little time…

Just outside of London, there’s a city that breeds the world’s best authors and most intelligent individuals: Oxford. So Jamin and Hilarie decided to hop off the train for a quick whistle stop, with plans to bottle up some of the brainpower from Oxford University.
Come with them as they uncover the natural habitat of writers like J.R.R. Tolkien (author of The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings), C.S. Lewis (author of The Screwtape Letters and A Grief Observed), Lewis Carroll (author of Alice in Wonderland) and more. Walking the streets of Oxford, you’ll find places like The Eagle and Child (nicknamed The Bird and Baby), a pub where C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien met regularly.

Season 3 (Secret Season), Episode 8
Sometimes, you just don’t know how much you’ll love a place. That’s how Hilarie and her sister, Jessica, felt about Switzerland. When they awoke on their overnight train, they were blown away by the views in front of them. Peaceful, natural beauty.
But behind its calm and majestic exterior, Switzerland has a wild side – specifically in the city of Interlaken. Travelers often arrive with the hopes of skydiving, mountain climbing and paragliding. But there’s something for everyone – even more low-key activities like sunbathing, kayaking and paddle boarding. Regardless of how you spend your time, you’ll find that most all activities revolve around the natural beauty surrounding this incredible lake city.

Welcome to the Travel FOMO podcast, hosted by Jamin and Hilarie Houghton. If you’re like us, the COVID-19 pandemic ignited a "fear of missing out" (FOMO) on travel. It also urged us to ask ourselves some important questions. Who is important to me? What do I want my future to look like? Where has all the time gone? How do I want to spend the rest of my life?
Big questions.
These questions are driving us closer to each other and closer to our dream. After living in the corporate world for 10+ years, we need a change of scenery. So we’re investing less time driving in Dallas traffic and more time driving our FJ Cruiser to a new adventure. With a rooftop tent and our 4 year-old Goldendoodle, Magnolia, we’re discovering things across our country, our world and our own backyard.
Have you ever noticed that some places feel like home? We’ve enjoyed going beyond our Oklahoma roots to find other enchanting places. One might even say our “deeper roots” — like the rolling English hills of the Hoghton Tower castle, the ancestral home of the Houghton family.
If you asked us today, our favorite places are just that — places that feel like home. Jamin is always eager to return to the classic beauty of Great Britain, and Hilarie is forever charmed by the quaint world of Belgium and Switzerland.
New experiences are always fun with friends and family, but after 13 years of marriage, we’re more grateful than ever to be each other’s “ride or die” travel buddy. When we’re not traveling, we’re planning the next trip. You might also catch us binge-watching shows like Ozark, Arrested Development, Schitt’s Creek, Yellowstone… Well, you get the picture.
