Where to Go - Greenland, Polynesia and Iran
play

08/04/22 • 38 min

This week we're talking to award-winning travel journalist Emma Thomson, an expert on remote destinations and responsible, adventure-based tours. Join James and Lucy as Emma guides us to three lesser-visited destinations from her travels...


Journey to the end of the world to Greenland, an icy wilderness where often the only sound heard is the cracking of an iceberg. If you thought it couldn't get more remote than this, think again, as we head to the volcanic Marquesas Islands where the locals live beautifully in sync with the land. Finally, we visit Iran – often misjudged, while its storied history and rich artistic communities are left unsung, we meet the beautiful country behind the headlines.
