The Takeoff

Episode 8: Cultural Appropriation is NASTY Work


Listen Later

In this episode of The Takeoff, we’re getting real about the messy side of travel—when does engaging with a new culture turn into taking from it? From rocking traditional attire for Instagram likes to participating in sacred ceremonies without context, we’re unpacking the cringiest examples of cultural appropriation in tourism and where the line really is.


🤔 Where do YOU stand on these debates?

  • Wearing traditional clothing abroad—respectful or just a photo op?
  • Tourists vs. local tourism boards—who’s to blame when culture gets commodified?
  • Social media’s role—does it educate or just exploit?


This one’s about learning, laughing, and keeping it real!
