Next Episode: Adaptability is essential for long-term travelers—Part 2 (E7)

The COVID-19 pandemic has the entire world adapting to change. For this episode of "From Sumplace New," we thought it was the ideal time to discuss the importance of being flexible and open-minded while traveling abroad. There's so much information on this subject that we decided to split the episode into two bit-sized morsels instead of a marathon podcast.

At the start of the episode, we describe our current lockdown situation in Bariloche, Argentina, how were handling it and how we're not! We also discuss the cultural rhythms (or culture shocks, as some may say) of countries we've visited so far, how we adjust in order to live like a local, as well as challenges you may face when selecting Airbnb rentals. Part 2 follows on Monday, April 6.
