It’s two women traveling, eating, finding mildly chaotic situations, and narrating with humor that’s just dark enough to tell you they’ve been through something. The “scavenger hunt” isn’t literal. It’s the ongoing practice of noticing what’s still good, still funny, still meaningful…even when you don't feel like laughing.Holla at us with questions or comments:Email: [email protected]: @deadmomscavengerhuntFollow us on Facebook!Christmas IG: @drugstorecowgirljewelryCara IG: @cara.steinmannOR you can get all the uncut video and audio if you join us on Patreon.
