Episode Description
Becky Pokora from sightdoing.net drops by and we chat about our recent trips that hopefully can inspire you as you plan your next ones. How can you enjoy Alaska by land or by sea, what is it like to go to the Women’s World Cup, and how much wildlife can you see in Tasmania? We also talk about how Joe dealt with a grossly overcharged rental car.
In Final Boarding Call, Joe chats about a niche MS opportunity (that only a few can take advantage of), his thoughts on recent trends with buyers clubs, and some leftover odds and ends from his time in Paris.
