Video: I Made the Worst Travel Mistake of My Life

This week, I made the worst travel mistake of my life and ended up getting quarantined once again here in Hong Kong.

I fumbled over testing requirements and border controls in an almighty fashion, and I paid the price in the form of an unexpected 14-day quarantine at my own expense of $2,500+.

As we look ahead at the resumption of international travel, don’t let yourself get complacent like me.

Without further ado, you can watch the video below:
