'Exploring History Through Travel' - check it out now!

Back in 2022, I (Meggan) visited the Dachau Concentration Camp as part of a trip to Germany, Austria and Switzerland. We had decided prior to going that it was important to visit and see the history with our own eyes.

It was a heavy experience however one we will never forget and no one should ever forget.

It might seem daunting to include a concentration camp on your vacation itinerary but if you can, you should!

'Exploring History Through Travel' - Out Now!

It’s important to learn your local history, not just visit museums when you’re travelling! Grand-Pré is a short drive from where we live, and I (Jenn) have visited a few times to explore the Acadian history.

Did you know that Cajuns are descended from Acadians who were forcibly removed from parts of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI and Maine? Now you do!

Visit museums… and sign the guest book!

I (Jenn) was recently chatting with a local tour guide here in Nova Scotia about the importance of supporting museums, especially the smaller local ones. Here is where we can truly learn about our local histories, and the guestbook is a tool many museums can use to argue for funding, or even to keep their doors open.

Let’s all commit to learning more about local and world history while we travel and at home. Check out our latest podcast episode to learn more about exploring history through travel 🎧 https://travelmugpodcast.com/exploring-history-through-travel/

We hope you enjoyed and took some inspiration from our latest episode 'Six Affordable Places to Travel in 2026'!

Now firmly on our long list of places we want to go - Montenegro!

Located in the Balkans, visit ancient towns and fortresses, hiking, water sports and beaches. Forests, lakes, mountains, coast line and national parks - it has it all!

Could be a nice alternative to Croatia!? While Croatia isn't insanely expensive, it has grown in popularity and therefore price so maybe check out Montenegro before the word really gets out about it!

Italy is a very popular destination for many reasons and it is on many people's bucket list including ours but it can also be VERY BUSY and at times, expensive!

Did you know there is somewhere, a wee cluster of islands, not too far away that offer stunning beaches, landmarks, cobble stone streets and delicious cuisine?

Well there is - tune in to hear about why you should visit Malta!

'Six Affordable Places to Travel in 2026'

In this economy, this is exactly the type of episode we all need!

We are sure there are aspects about each country mentioned in this episode that could be more expensive in our game of "instead of here, go here" but these are just some alternatives for you to think about!

Japan right now is going through a bit of a tourist boom, a bit of over-tourism happening, if you will and it's big cities can be costly.

Listen in to the episode to hear what we feel could be a Japan alternative that could save you some money!
