S2E14: Airport Stories and Survival

Support the show! https://ko-fi.com/attemptadventure

In Season 2 Episode 14 of the Attempt Adventure Podcast, James learns about a local ghost, Michael explores the world's largest weekend market, and together, we share our adventures and mishaps in airports around the world.

In this episode, we share our stories of time spent in airports as well as tips for how to survive the long, boring hours of a layover.
