Travel pods: plan the trip, then take it

A big trip is more fun to plan with a small group of people going somewhere similar. Podkin's Travel pods run everything from a one-hour Japan itinerary clinic to a six-week South America planning arc. Vetted hosts share the specifics — visas, budgets, routes, gear — and the room compounds the research. Five members, one host, actual departure dates on the calendar.
