Hello! We’re finally back with season 3. We took an extended hiatus for reasons that are not related to abdominal surgeries. Did we think there would be so much more gossip coming out after our Royal Bonus episode? We did not! And since we recorded this prior to the latest debacle we the BRF, we don’t address it. But we promise to next week, so tune in! This week we chatted about one of our favorite topics, traveling. Britt has shared her thoughts on tourists vs travelers before, but we dive deeper in this episode. We discuss why we think humans seek out “the other”, why some don’t, the cost of travel - both financial and cultural, and the great love of Veronica’s life, her Delta status.
