<div>It’s been feeling like the travel industry is slowly but surely coming back to life. But we can’t help but feel a little cynical about this return to travel.  
 
The pandemic is still raging around the world, we're facing the growing consequences of a climate crisis, and we're continuing to grapple with inequity in our communities. It seems more important than ever to make sure that when we travel, we do it right. 
 
So where do we start? On this season of the podcast, I’m digging even deeper into what it really means to be a responsible traveler. With the help of my producer Kattie, we’ll chat with thought leaders, activists, and passionate travelers -  exploring questions like: 
 

</div>
<ul>
<li>How important is it to decenter yourself as a traveller?</li>
<li>How will climate change impact tourism, and travel as we know it? </li>
<li>And, is the era of Space Tourism here? And if so, is that something we even need?</li>
</ul>
<div>I am itching to book my next adventure, and I’m sure you are too. So, there’s no better time to be having these conversations. Throughout the season, I’ll share some of my own travel stories - and mishaps - with you. And along the way, we’ll all learn how we can return to travel in a way that’s better for us, and for the planet.
