Talking Travel with Angie Orth

Travel expert Angie Orth was on my radar for a long time. Recently, I had the pleasure of interviewing her for Talking Travel on Global Traveler.
Orth has done a lot in the travel industry. She has a very informative site, along with videos, podcasts, social media posts and more. She also published a book, Flirting with Disaster.
Her project with her sister is on hiatus, although she hopes to restart it. It was a fun series in which they split destination activities for luxury travelers and budgeted folks.
During our interview, I initiated a friendly debate about her Chicago list. I questioned her about the appeal of Cloudgate (aka the Bean). She had solid reasons and i respect her stance, although I still hate the Bean.
Next I asked if she had tried Chicago's thin crust pizza. Deep dish gets all the love, but I prefer thin crust (even from the legendary Lou Malnati's). Once again, Orth backed up her opinion. We did both agree though that all pizza is good.
