In our latest episode of Travelogue, we dive deep into adventure in its many forms. We discuss how New Zealand basically invented extreme sports, share tales of rallies from the U.K. to Siberia that take two months, and try and parse what makes the best countries for adventure travel, well, the best. We also look closely at the evolution of extreme selfie-takers—in many ways, the new daredevils—and fold in a pretty good whale joke that actually is relevant to one editor's weekend of canyoning, biking, hiking, and being pushed to the limits in the Azores, an archipelago flung some 850 miles off the coast of Portugal. The rest? Well, you'll just have to listen up.

Tourism has changed dramatically since Condé Nast Traveler published its first issue thirty years ago: You can't light up a cigarette on a transatlantic flight anymore (great), and "Basic Economy" is now a thing (not so great). But there are also places that through forces beyond just the tourism industry—political shifts, economic cycles, and technological revolutions—have changed so much, that we wouldn't even recognize them 30 years ago. On this episode of Travelogue, we take a deep dive into six such places to gain an understanding of what actually happened—and how it happened.

We dive into all of the messiness—and, it can be said, magic—of spending the holidays abroad, whether as an expat or just on vacation. From Christmas in Marrakech to Thanksgiving in Sydney (and Copenhagen, Singapore, and Paris), we discuss the challenges of sourcing hard-to-come-by cranberries, new ways of honoring old traditions, and how the holidays can actually be a really good time to get a flight deal.
