Send us Fan Mail (https://www.buzzsprout.com/2111088/fan_mail/new) On this week's podcast travel expert Onanta Forbes will join us to share her recent journey to Comox Valley on Vancouver Island. It's a beautiful area of BC to spend a few days at and that's exactly what Onanta did a few weeks ago so we'll get the highlights. And there's been lots of talk about overtourism these days so later in the podcast we'll learn about an area that does not have that problem. It's Turkmenistan in Central Asia, part of the 5 Stan's as they like to call them so we'll chat with the founder of Undiscovered Frontiers (https://undiscoveredfrontiers.com/central-asia/turkmenistan) , a company that specializes in tours to that area.
