Mid-february can be a tough time to live in New Hampshire if you’re not a winter-lover. It’s the season of wet socks, crusty windshields, and dangerous highways. So, if you’re lucky enough to hop on a cruise ship and see seven sunny ports in seven days, then we say bon voyage. But if you’re looking for something more daring, there are plenty of options out there. Lots of companies are offering trips with educational and culinary themes - vacations based around adventure, geotourism, philanthropy - and now, forbidden travel. Word of Mouth host Virginia Prescott spoke with Roxana von Kraus, owner of Quo Vadis Travel. Roxana leads Americans to countries that haven't embraced tourists, like Bhutan, Uzbekistan, Libya and Cuba.
