What better way to celebrate a birthday than with a baseball-filled road trip through North Carolina? In this episode of The People You Go With, we're heading to the Piedmont region to explore four minor league baseball teams: the Greensboro Grasshoppers, Durham Bulls, Fayetteville Woodpeckers, and Winston-Salem Dash!

From the fun atmosphere of minor league ballparks to the unexpected places we discovered along the way, this trip was about more than just baseball. We share our experiences at each stadium, the random day-trip stops, and the little adventures that made this birthday getaway so memorable.

Because sometimes the best travel memories happen between the planned stops!

Travel sounds great…until your brain starts listing everything that could possibly go wrong. 😂 In this episode of The People You Go With, we’re talking travel anxiety, whether all-inclusive resorts are actually worth it, and the idea of traveling without your usual crew. We share our own experiences, what makes us nervous, what makes travel easier, and why the “right” way to travel looks different for everyone. Whether you love an all-inclusive, would rather explore on your own, or just need a little push to take the trip—you’ll probably relate to this one.
