A single taxi ride cost me the price of a plane ticket.

That morning, the London Underground was on strike, and I almost missed my flight to Reykjavík. I flagged down a black cab and watched the meter climb to £90 — nearly the cost of the flight itself.

In this episode: is travel really more dangerous, more romantic than people think? Or does it just magnify the things we usually avoid at home? And how one expensive, rushed morning turned into a habit I still carry today.

Join me back in that cab.
