There is, apparently, no end to the appetite of both me and my listeners to hear stories about things going wrong on our travels. It\u2019s not that we want to laugh or point fingers at people who have bad things happen to them - I think it\u2019s more an empathy and sympathy, and the kind of entertainment that arises from someone who\u2019s told a travel story many times, and can tell it well. That\u2019s my excuse anyway: this is just one more of quite a number of episodes on this topic!

My first guest in this episode is Nora Livingston of Animal Experience International, and her tale of something going wrong does, indeed, feature an animal - a Cape buffalo, in fact, in Kenya. Fortunately, all involved come out of the experience unharmed.

I then chat with Staci Mellman of Brand USA about the natural disaster kind of \u201cthings going wrong\u201d - when cyclonic storms interrupted a boat ride while she was in Fiji a few years back.

Finally, I discuss work travel with Joseph Kolapudi, who\u2019s had quite a string of bad luck when he\u2019s travelled to present at conferences. He has tales from India and Kenya about some of the things that have gone wrong - but that he always manages to get through nonetheless.
