How do you decide where to travel and what to do on your trips? How do you create travel experiences you'll actually enjoy, not just want to post on Instagram or TikTok? On today's episode of Catching Flights & Feelings we're welcoming our first guest, Zim Obi, to share the pillars of his travel style and discuss how we can all find ways to travel that are authentic to us. He shares about his experiences living in and traveling in Japan and building community along the way. We also get a sneak peak into how he'll curate his experiences in his next stop, Brazil!

Ever wondered how much the flying dress photos cost or how long the lines are for some of the most Instagrammable places around the world? From Bali to Thailand to Cappadocia, social media like Instagram and TikTok have been a big driver of tourism and certain experiences. On today's episode of Catching Flights & Feelings we're discussing the costs of allowing social media to overly influence our travel and ways to curate travel experiences that are more personal and meaningful. Let your values, not peer pressure, drive your travels!
