If you love a tropical, private island escape and want to do right by the environment, this is the episode for you.
Co-host Kirstie Bedford takes us to the stunning island resort of Song Saa in Cambodia’s Koh Rong archipelago.
Bought by Australian Melita Koulmandas for US$15k, it has been transformed from knee-deep in rubbish to a luxury retreat with Cambodia’s first protected marine park.
Hear from the island’s marine biologist, Anna Sabrina Petry about how it not only supports the ongoing conservation efforts but continues to enrich the area.
We also talk about the new 'Swedish Prescription', where you can get a doctor to prescribe a visit to the European nation (yes, please!), and would you pay to recline your seat on a plane? We chat about the airline that's expecting you to.
