Continuing our series of posts by travel couples, to determine who does what when it comes to travel organisation, today we find out
“Who’s the boss” at Peanuts or Pretzels?
Contents
Josh and Liz are married travel bloggers who absolutely love to travel around the world, and getting to know the culture and the people who live there. They are always up for laughter, a good adventure and a bit of geocaching! Their goal is to help you discover your love for travel and inspire you to plan your next adventure. You can count on them to find the “fun” in just about anything. Being the curious people that they are, they love learning and experiencing new things. After all, isn’t that what life is all about?
So, “Who’s the boss?” at Peanuts or Pretzels?
Josh and Liz are both are very involved with picking the destination. Both of their schedules need to be coordinated with work, so they are both involved with picking the date.
Liz is a bit more analytical and tends to research flights / prices, and times so they can get the best for their money.
Neither don’t particularly care for airport lounges. They are both involved in organizing who gets to the airport and what stop overs are required in their travels.
Josh says that, they “both do a bit of research, but Liz tends to research more with regard to pricing, amenities, location, etc”. Again, Liz is very analytical and tends to research the transport between destinations and countries – “in detail, with spreadsheets!”
They are both responsible for their packing. “Josh tends to overpack though :-)”
With taking care of locks on cases “Josh is the ‘equipment’ guy”
Both take care of passports and visas and Liz is in charge of foreign currency. She also makes sure that the house is left clean and the fridge emptied etc.
Both Josh and Liz do their part to split up notifying banks, credit card companies, etc.
When organizing bill payments they say “We always split paying our bills, but Liz usually schedules advanced payments because she handles our overall budgets.”
“Josh is the Event guy & likes to find fun things to do.”
The both take care of techonolgy requiremenst for their travels.
When asked about who organizes activities on their travels Josh and Liz say that “We both love finding things to do!”
They both take care of emails and correspondence concerned with planning their travels.
So, “Who’s the boss” at Peanuts or Pretzels?
Josh summarises by saying “Liz tends to go overboard on the planning in general, but that’s just her personality! Overall, both of us are pretty involved in the planning process!”

Thanks for including us! I really am spreadsheet obsessed – haha! Josh would totally just show up and do whatever he runs into. So we balance each other out.
Happy travels!

I wish I could use a spreadsheet. That is one of those skills that bypassed me. Take care you both, love working with you. Paula
