I flew out of Charles de Gaulle for Heathrow today, to meet up with Kim before boarding our flight together to Los Angeles.
While I’m not usually a movie person on flights, I watched 5 TV programmes this time.
Four of these were episodes of “Around the world in 80 trades”. This follows the journey of a stockbroker or forex trader type person who sold up his apartment in London and put part of that money into trading his way around the world the old fashioned way … the way trade has been done for centuries … bringing something from one part of the world to another and selling it for more.
He has a go with seemingly everything … from camels to alcohol to surfboards, across Africa, Asia and the Americas! His success is rather mixed.
I should look a putting a different twist into my travels.
