Hear wild travel stories of local pub encounters in Alaska, extortion in Panama and 30-foot waves en route to Antarctica. Jordan Campbell joins Matt for a virtual wine night and starts off talking about her most epic wine experience of all time in San Sebastian in the Basque Country. She then talks about her recent experience traveling to Antarctica and encountering 30 foot waves in the Drake Passage. Jordan then reflects on her upbringing in different places around Europe, including her dog getting kidnapped by the mob in Naples and drinking her first beer in Belgium at 12 years old. She then tells stories about a very local pub encounter in Alaska and visiting the Demilitarized Zone on the border of North and South Korea. Jordan also reflects on the unique beauty of Iceland and tells the story of her mistaken visit to see fake swimming pigs in the Bahamas. Finally, she tells the story of getting extorted by the police in Panama and reflects on the impact Anthony Bourdain’s work had on her life.
