A few years ago Lia & Jeremy quit their jobs, put their stuff in storage, & took off on a year-long honeymoon. (It was basically a disaster, but they had fun anyway.) Today, they travel and write about their ongoing (mis)adventures on their travel blog, PracticalWanderlust.com. On this bi-weekly podcast Lia and Jeremy share their most ridiculous travel stories and practical tips to help you avoid making all of their terrible, terrible mistakes - plus all of the weird history they've learned along the way!

Horse races, bourbon, baseball bats, and a...death tunnel? Today we tell the story of Lia's hometown: Louisville, KY! We trace the history of the city from its frontier origins to the modern-day. Louisville's history runs deep, and it's not always pretty. So pour yourself a bourbon and tune in. Unless you're driving - that's not cool.

On our first mini-episode, we talk about Lia's ridiculously elaborate display of affection creepily early on in our relationship. And in true Liaremy fashion, it is needlessly extra and doesn't go as planned. So pull up a comfy chair, pour some wine, cut yourself a few slices of cake, and enjoy (because self-love is also part of Valentine's Day)!
