It's a standing desk. We'll also cover the hottest topics and news within the travel world to help make you
a more informed, savvy traveler. I never wonder if there's the right time to buy a plane ticket it or maybe how companies are trying to make vacations appeal to teenagers, Well, we've got you covered, and you'll also hear some incredible travel stories along the way, like from Philippe Cousto and the time he was chased through the streets of Port Moresby and Papua New Guinea and I ran around another corner and literally bumped into three cops, and they had
an USY on one shoulder and a shotgun on the other. Each of them and the guys chasing me stopped dead in their tracks and looked at the police and looked at me. The cops looked at me, looked at them, and then looked at me and just kind of smiled, and they were like, you are lucky, So I've come along for the adventure.
