The Besties Reunite | Expert Panel

Joining me this year are Hao Tang and Simon Jones. The Besties episode is where we get together for a very honest, very fun year in review conversation. All three of us are professional travelers, spending an incredible amount of time on the road each year.

It's our job to be discerning, to notice the details, and yes…. To have opinions. And because we're friends, nothing is off limits. Together we dish on everything from our favorite destinations of the year, to top hotels, safari moments, food obsessions, and those "I can't believe this is my job" moments.

But before we dive in, I want to say thank you. Thank you for listening for another year, for sharing the show with friends and family, for sending in your thoughts and feedback, and for trusting me and Bell & Bly Travel with your most important experiences. It's such an honor to inspire your adventures!

So please enjoy this year's Besties episode and here's to an incredible 2026 filled with meaningful experiences and memorable travel.
