The primary guest for today's show was Rolf Potts, the author of the seminal book Vagabonding about long-term travel. Rolf discussed what travel means to him (especially in this no-travel time), how he became a nomad, and some of his favorite destinations. Piggybacking on Rolf's segments, Emilie Gillespie discussed her recent piece in the New York Times about how to put together a year-long trip; and Jill Gonzalez of Wallet Hub talked about the best and worst frequent flyer programs.
