My people is welcome to Ransom Randomness. I'm Love You, J. Jones, and this is my show

where I'm talking about things I'm loving, things outside, side-eye, and having good conversation with people.

I am here at Chicago Recording Company, bringing you all the radio voice as always.

And on this episode, I'm actually doing a bonus episode about travel.

Check out my travel essentials episode that I did a few episodes back

where I talk about traveling often and traveling well. I talk about the must-have,

the things that I have to have whenever I'm getting on a plane and going anywhere.

I love the feedback on that and people have let me know how it's helped them, so let's keep the party going.

On this episode, I partnered with Airbnb and I'll be talking about group trips and how great ones happen.

It's not by accident. So let's get into it. It's really helpful.

So I travel a lot for work, but I make it a point to also travel with the people I love.

For pleasure, you've got to go on vacations. And it's so good for me because it really recharges my spirit.

I always have an incredible time. In the last couple of years, I've had, mmm, probably at least for amazing group trips

where over 10 of us travel together and spend days together in the same place.

So a couple of years ago, we did a family trip to New Orleans. It was 12 of us and it was four days long.

I also did a trip with my Voltron Squad to Nigerian Ghana in December 2018.

It was 30 of us on the Nigeria side and a hundred of us on the Ghana side.

But the 30 of us that went to Nigeria, that was very much, it felt more intimate.

That's the one that I had a hand in planning. And that was two weeks long.

Actually, the whole trip, the Nigerian and Ghana part was two weeks. So Nigeria was a week. Ghana was a week.

January 2018, did awardees in Rose. Friends trip to Fenville, Michigan. It was 16 of us over three days.

July 2019, my girlfriends, my close girlfriends actually took me on a dream trip, dream bachelor red trip to Anguella.
