- Tim pitches Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea as an affordable tropical destination despite 80% of women experiencing sexual assault and frequent bush knife attacks.
- He refuses to focus on negatives when discussing crime statistics, arguing the destination gets cheap once you arrive.
- Getting robbed during a vacation could actually be a fun story to tell later rather than ruin the entire trip.
- Staying at the Hilton Port Moresby and keeping to yourself makes the 84 per 1000 violent crime rate not so bad.

- The hotel receptionist confirms Port Moresby is dangerous and advises guests not to leave the hotel.
- The hotel offers in-room dining and a complimentary shuttle to the mall as the main attractions.
- The receptionist explains they use Comfort taxis with tracked plate numbers for trips to attractions like the Botanical Garden.
