Tis the season for gift-giving. If you need gift ideas for the travelers in your life, this week's show has great ideas from stocking stuffers to the ultimate gift that will take you places.
In the Culture Report; After having so much fun last week with Americanisms, Ja'Vonne is investigating what so many hate the English language. It stems from the many words that are homophones, homonyms, and words with odd spellings. For example; bow! There are two different ways to pronounce this word and four different meanings. It must be frustrating learning the English language.

On TRAVELING CULTURATI this week: The traveling duo, Gene and Ja'Vonne Harley review travel news and topics!
In the news; the Farmers Almanac's 2021/2022 winter weather prediction, most Instagrammed Unesco heritage sites, and snagging the best holiday airfares.
On Topic; best types of trips for children from 0 - college grads and the importance of exposing them to travel and the best cities around the world to relocate to.
In the Culture Report; Ja'Vonne has some fun with sayings that are only used in the USA. So if you use them you might just have a "lost in translation" moment. They are regular English words but, it's how we use them that often confuses people in other parts of the world. For example; we use ballpark when were not referring to the baseball field or the game itself. We use it to say, you're in the vicinity of a place or thing or to say you've hit it out of the ballpark is to say you've exceeded expectations.
