Daniel and Sharla are also talking about some of the Bonnaroo news that has come up in recent weeks, as well as how we can better respect the farm when we're on site.

With Roo news a little dry lately, we're diving into some community news and stories by talking with one of our good friends Jums about his worldwide backpacking tour this last year! From half of the states to a few more continents, he's got a lot of wild stories but also some suggestions on how you can get the best bang for your buck when it comes to travel!
