This has been a question we've been pondering for quite some time now, but in today's episode—we finally give ourselves some time to brainstorm and talk about it. In a time where international travel has been restricted for over a year and studies show that business travel will take years to come back (specifically travel paid for by a company someone is working for), this conversation proved to be more difficult than we expected. In the end, however, we came up with a few gems that might be worth pursuing in the upcoming year. Tune in to find out what may be ahead next!
