In this episode of Landings and Layovers, hosts Matthew Fleischman and Marty Paz dive deep into the realm of adventure travel with a special guest—Ari, the founder of Competitours.

Whether you're an experienced traveler or seeking a new type of journey, Competitours offers an adrenaline-pumping experience unlike any other.

What Makes Competitours Unique?

Ari introduces the idea of mystery travel—where participants don't know their next destination until it’s revealed to them, adding surprise and spontaneity to each day of the journey. The thrill of the competition is paired with camaraderie, as travelers bond through challenges designed to push them out of their comfort zones and into unforgettable experiences.
