Our resident travel agent in this journey we call life is back with some insider trading on where to invest your PTO—and how to do it without getting pregnant.
"Despite this satisfying synchronicity, there are a thousand headlines about how hordes of selfie-seekers are ruining travel. No one is (publicly) advocating for a return to the days when travel was only for a few rich people, but the underlying tone is sanctimonious disbelief that these flyover hashtag clowns don’t know their place. Personally, I find the hand-wringing gratifying—it seems like people are finally waking up to what I’ve long thought: that there are too many of us."
