Chapter 1: A lot of us are looking down the road to doing a little travelling and maybe changing the scenery in the next few months. Whether it’s somewhere else in B.C. - or later on in Canada - or maybe outside of Canada by the end of the year - it gives us something to look forward to.  But the question remains: will travel be the same as we remember? 
Guest: Natalie Preddie, TV Travel & Lifestyle Expert.
Chapter 2: The second hand clothing market is skyrocketing as new websites and apps offer an easy way to buy and trade in old, but new again fashion items.
Guest: Raji Sohal, CKNW Contributor
