0:00.0	Okay, I know there are some of you out there in this listening community. Maybe you are one of them
0:05.5	who is trying to decide when you should travel again. You've been thinking about taking off
0:13.3	for maybe an extended trip, maybe indefinitely to do the whole nomad thing. And you're sitting
0:20.5	there thinking, all right, well,
0:22.1	this pandemic's going on. Should I just hang here and ride this out? Should I just take off and go?

1:41.5	Who knows how long?
1:42.6	So I do think this is an important episode for
1:45.5	everybody to listen to if you're considering getting out there on the road. There's something
1:50.4	for everybody here, even if you're just taking a two or three week trip or if you're going
1:54.4	longer term. This is a great, realistic, current audio picture, I guess, of what that looks like. And really, going back to the
