He talks about his childhood travel memories, how he plans his own trips now and his recent experience of the Baltic Capitals in very unseasonal weather.

During our conversation, we touched on group travel vs independent travel, the free-spirited vibe of Central America and how it compares to the Far East. And we heard about Charlie's ideal travel companions.
