He's sold his house to finance the trip - and by trading Sudanese camels for Zambian coffee, coffee for South African red wine, and then going to China to buy jade with the proceeds, he stands to return with a lot of money, new friends and many tales. Whether trading teak or tea, surfboards or seafood, Conor Woodman makes deals in the world's most hotly contested markets.

Part THE UNDERCOVER ECONOMIST, part APPRENTICE challenge, AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 TRADES reminds us that making a living is about exactly that - living.
