Bankrate recently released a report that the average vacation costs close to $2,000. But don’t let the dollar sign keep you from traveling. Reyna Simone counts anything as a vacation that allows you to recharge and reset. There are some great affordable summer options even if you can’t afford a plane ticket. We’ll talk about some of those things in this episode!

Reyna Simone is still transitioning and getting settled in with her new job and travel schedule—so we’re continuing with our Travel Goods Show interviews!

Most of you know that Reyna is a germaphobe. From wiping down airplane surfaces to using plastic covers on remote controls, she can be a little… excessive… in her quest to fight travel germs. Which is why she was happy to chat with the CEO of Plane It Safe LLC, Peter Cook.
