Summary: <br> We're big fans of all things travel so when a couple of friends launched a <br> new destination guide site we were interested. Welcome to the <a href="https://statesider.us/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Statesider</a>, a new take on US <br> travel.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Born from the goal of helping explore more within the United States and <br> discovering the "foreign" available so very close to home, the Statesider is an <br> email newsletter/website combination that highlights destinations within the <br> United States. This episode we chat with the founders, <a href="https://twitter.com/nerdseyeview" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pam</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/Andy_Murdock" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Andy</a> to get a feel for <br> just what the new concept is all about. <br> <br> <br> <br> That the interview happened while <a href="http://blog.wandr.me/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Seth</a> was sitting in the lounge prior to a(nother) trip to <br> Europe created an interesting dynamic for the conversation. Can we find new and <br> different and unique and special experiences without spending 10 or 20 or 30 <br> hours en route? Just how different are we, despite being very much from the same <br> country? <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> https://vimeo.com/254059194<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> And it is not just list telling you where to go and why. Indeed, the <br> Statesider is pretty much anything but lists. Stories like <a href="http://bikesof-wrath.squarespace.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Bikes of <br> Wrath</a> – a modern take on the Steinbeck classic – or just hanging out in the <br> Mississippi Delta, waiting for the Blues to reassert its power, are the fabric <br> of the site. And it is really, really interesting stuff. <br> <br> <br> <br> Give the episode a listen then go sign up for the newsletter and <a href="https://twitter.com/the_statesider" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">give the_statesider a <br> follow on Twitter</a>. And maybe travel a little more inside the USA. <br>
