"My wife and I have been planning a trip for around five years. The idea was that it would be a big one for our 10th anniversary; we celebrated our 16th in August. There were deferrals due to family tragedies, work-related upheavals, a global pandemic, and more work-related upheavals, and there have been other small trips mixed in, but there has always been planning, albeit at the lowest possible simmer."
"The site went on hiatus-Thornburgh told us in this week's episode that it "went broke"-after the death of partner Anthony Bourdain, but will be returning early in December with the support of chef José Andrés and a new business model. We talked to Nathan about the resurrection of the site (and print publication), but mostly we talked about travel: what it does for a person, the right and wrong ways to do it, and some fun places to go."
A couple planned a long-delayed trip for around five years, originally intended for their 10th anniversary but postponed until after their 16th. Deferrals occurred due to family tragedies, work upheavals, and a global pandemic, yet planning persisted in low gear. Roads & Kingdoms, a travel website and magazine, went on hiatus after partner Anthony Bourdain's death and will return in December with support from chef José Andrés and a new business model. The revival accompanies conversations about what travel does for people, correct and incorrect ways to travel, and enticing destinations. A vivid account describes eating iguanas, the smugness of consuming invasive species, the gruesome butchering process, and practical tips for preparation.
