Jerry  and Chris received an email from Adrian Crome, an avid listener in Australia, thanking us for the variety of shows we have and suggested a new subject for us: What we learn from travel. We liked the idea so much that we invited Adrian to join us to talk about the subject. Let's join in on the conversation.

We love to travel are not too fussy where and how we do it. Just get us to a destination and we come alive. We do have some favorites and felt we needed a show to discuss them to not only give a greater insight to us, but emphasize how travel excites us. Hopefully, you will get your creative juices moving, be inspired, and base your next vacation on not having a box to restrict you, but just go way out there and do something possibly totally unlike you. To unique and life-changing travel!
