In all of the conversations we've had this season, a couple of threads keep resurfacing:\xa0 how much we appreciate the ability to travel, and how to really maximize a trip. Well, we thought it was high time to devote an episode specifically to this!

Out Travel the System\xa0host\xa0 Nisreene Atassi \xa0dives into the idea of splurging while traveling, and how that can mean different things to different people. She is joined by expert travel planner\xa0 Sarah Groen , host of the\xa0Luxury Travel Insider\xa0podcast, as well as\xa0 Tomiko Harvey , Vice President of the\xa0 Black Travel Alliance , and writer at\xa0Passports and Grub.

They'll take you through how a splurge - whether it's adding on a private tour, upgrading your seat on a flight, or making sure your home away from home has everything you need - can make or break the way you remember your travels. Sarah shares how to plan out the 'arc' of a trip (hint, save the best hotels for last), and Tomiko talks about some of her favorite splurges.

So go ahead, book that second massage at your vacation hotel, line up that private tour, and borrow a page out of Sarah's book by\xa0really\xa0upgrading your rental vehicle - take this episode as the encouragement you need to say yes to your next travel splurge!
