Speaker 1: Hello, I'm Mark Ellwoods and I'm Nikki Eckstein. Where the hosts of Bloomberg's new podcast, Travel Genius. Yes we are, and we are excited to share this new podcast, which is all about the joy of travel. Each week on Travel Genius, you'll hear from veteran jet setters as they stop by to share their favorite travel tips, tricks, and hacks, like TV Travel hosts Samantha Brown on the one thing in every hotel room that she says is so overlooked but can be used in so many different ways, the ironing board. I mean, it sits in the closet, it never comes out, no one wants to use it. But here's where it's really amazing. We always run out of counter space when we're in a hotel, and it's four ft of counter space. A lot of people now are working at desks standing right, standing desks is the new trend. It's a standing desk. We'll also cover the hottest topics and news within the travel world to help make you a more informed, savvy traveler. I never wonder if there's the right time to buy a plane ticket it or maybe how companies are trying to make vacations appeal to teenagers, Well, we've got you covered, and you'll also hear some incredible travel stories along the way, like from Philippe Cousto and the time he was chased through the streets of Port Moresby and Papua New Guinea and I ran around another corner and literally bumped into three cops, and they had an USY on one shoulder and a shotgun on the other. Each of them and the guys chasing me stopped dead in their tracks and looked at the police and looked at me. The cops looked at me, looked at them, and then looked at me and just kind of smiled, and they were like, you are lucky, So I've come along for the adventure.
