For the 1%
I’m not sure what audience this is supposed to be for. First of all, a conversation about the difference between luxury and ultra luxury hotels (with not even a mention of cost) is irrelevant to 99% of listeners. Your “hacks” should already be known by anyone who can afford to stay at the kinds of places you’re talking about. Second, you’re giving wrong information. In the most recent episode you said solo travelers are safer in Paris than in a rural Chinese village, which is just not supported by any kind of fact. Paris has a high crime rate (as do most large cities in the US and abroad) - last time I was there I waited with a victim of a violent mugging for the police and paramedics arrive. Rural China has a very low crime rate and as a tourist you would stand out so much that you’d never be alone long enough to be attacked. You might be annoyed by the people constantly trying to touch your hair, but you’ll never be in any real danger. The fact that the host feels safer in Paris probably has more to do with her own stereotypes than reality: totally understandable but not something to be spread via podcast as if it were the truth. 3 stars (instead of 1) because if you just recently got hired at a large consulting firm or Fortune 100 company and expect to do a lot of business travel for the first time in your life: this podcast has some useful tips.

I agree with other posts that being Bloomberg it can be a bit too 'posh' in hotel choices, etc., but I have loved Mark Ellwood's take on travel since CNT Travelogue (why did they end it?!) and it's great to hear him and Nikki together - she has a good perspective and rapid fire...Read full review »
