Travel isn’t always glamorous — but it’s always transformative. In this cinematic conversation, Michael sits down with Ann Craig‑Cinnamon and John Cinnamon, a married duo whose 30‑year journey across more than 120 countries has shaped their lives, their marriage, and their understanding of the world.

Ann and John are award‑winning broadcasters, entrepreneurs, documentary filmmakers, and authors of Travel Is No Vacation: A Love Story — a memoir that explores the beauty, chaos, humor, and humanity found in global travel. From gorilla trekking in Rwanda to hiking the Himalayas, from snorkeling with sea lions in the Galapagos to visiting Chernobyl, their stories reveal how travel challenges us, changes us, and teaches us who we are becoming.

In this episode, we explore:

1. How travel becomes a mirror for identity and partnership
2. The unspoken rules of navigating unfamiliar cultures
3. The highs, lows, and unexpected moments that shaped their journeys
4. Why meaningful travel is less about the destination and more about the people you meet
5. How adventure, curiosity, and compassion can deepen connection
6. What they’ve learned about humanity after visiting all seven continents

This is a warm, humorous, deeply human conversation about love, resilience, and the stories we collect along the way.

One more insight. One more story. One more thing before you go.
