0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:29.360
<v Speaker 1>in every hotel room that she says is so overlooked

0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:32.640
<v Speaker 1>but can be used in so many different ways, the

0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:35.680
<v Speaker 1>ironing board. I mean, it sits in the closet, it

0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:37.479
<v Speaker 1>never comes out, no one wants to use it. But

0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 1>here's where it's really amazing. We always run out of

0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:42.520
<v Speaker 1>counter space when we're in a hotel, and it's four

0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:45.400
<v Speaker 1>ft of counter space. A lot of people now are

0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 1>working at desks standing right, standing desks is the new trend.

0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:52.640
<v Speaker 1>It's a standing desk. We'll also cover the hottest topics

<v Speaker 1>and news within the travel world to help make you

0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:58.400

0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 1>the right time to buy a plane ticket it or

0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:04.320
<v Speaker 1>maybe how companies are trying to make vacations appeal to teenagers, Well,

0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 1>we've got you covered, and you'll also hear some incredible

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:10.480
<v Speaker 1>travel stories along the way, like from Philippe Cousto and

0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:12.480
<v Speaker 1>the time he was chased through the streets of Port

0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:15.559
<v Speaker 1>Moresby and Papua New Guinea and I ran around another

0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:19.960
<v Speaker 1>corner and literally bumped into three cops, and they had

0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:21.920
<v Speaker 1>an USY on one shoulder and a shotgun on the other.

0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Each of them and the guys chasing me stopped dead

0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:26.199
<v Speaker 1>in their tracks and looked at the police and looked

0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:28.200
<v Speaker 1>at me. The cops looked at me, looked at them,

0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:29.959
<v Speaker 1>and then looked at me and just kind of smiled,

0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.560
<v Speaker 1>and they were like, you are lucky, So I've come

0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 1>along for the adventure. Travel Genius launches November fourteen on
