Jules Perowne's Unpacked - Season 2 Ep 6 – Unpacked’s Best Bits 2025
It’s a wrap for this season as Unpacked breaks up for Christmas. Light the fire, pour a glass and join Jules Perowne as she reprises some of the wit and wisdom of our remarkable guests during 2025.
From recreating London’s legendary Simpson’s on the Strand, to rewilding 200,000 acres in Scotland, to celebrating the World’s greatest city (spoilers: it’s London), to LATAM’s soaring growth and AI’s scary/brilliant/game changing effect on the luxury travel sector.
All this and a good old fashioned rant or two.
