This is the third episode we've produced with Lonely Planet, this series, and there's going to be lots more adventures coming up with them soon. Lonely Planet, as you know, I'm sure, are legends of travel and adventure and their ethos of proper, authentic exploring, local connections, and focusing on sustainable, positive travel is basically 100% in line with what we do here. So I'm super proud of that partnership. The journey we are taking today is based on a week-long road trip that we designed in collaboration with them. And I think it's pretty awesome, so I'm excited to share it. But it's also a journey that you can do too. That's kind of the idea of this Lonely Planet series. So check out the show notes and listen at the end to find out how you can. If you're thinking about a summer adventure in America, this might be exactly what you're looking for. But don't take my word for it. Listen and make your mind up for yourself.

Hey guys, Aaron here. Just jumping in because I want to give a shout out to our partner for this episode, Lonely Planet. Jason, drop some air horns. These guys are legends, as you know. And also visit New Hampshire. Some applause, please. I don't want them to feel left out because they're awesome too. We designed this road trip with both of them. And what I really wanted to do here was put together what would be my dream trip to New Hampshire, the adventure of the White Mountains. And remember, you can actually book Marielle to do that with you, which is so cool. Plus some of the chill of the lakes and small towns and forests in a couple of other regions of the state as well. I love trips like that because after you get back from the adventure, that chill feels so good. So if you want to find out more, go to visitnh.gov. That is a great resource for planning your trip. And at VisitNH is the social handle as well. Check that out for lots of photos, inspiration, all that good stuff. You can also go to lonelyplanet.com. They do great content. Of course, they got lots of stuff up there, photos, videos of New Hampshire, lots of the things we talked about today. But they also do these journeys now, which are trips that they design and recommend, and you can book them through them. So that's pretty cool. They have lots of details for this that we didn't get into here. We didn't have time, like cool places to stay, all that kind of thing. And you get to design that trip with a Lonely Planet expert. So just tell them you listen to this and they will sort you out with this exact trip or you can tweak it however you wish. So thanks to them, lonelyplanet.com, air horns again, and also visit New Hampshire, visit nh.gov. All right, let's get back to the show.
