What on earth can be more fun than writing a PhD thesis about the two really nice topics travelling and games? Yes, combine both and research about gaming while being on a trip. This is exactly what the guest of our latest podcast episode did. Pirita Ihamäki PhD, M.Sc. does not only love to climb around forests and mountains in order to find small presents but also knows why she loves it. She has researched about global trends in how to travel using geocaching. In our podcast she fascinates us with her experience and research outcomes of international gaming and traveling habits and gives us insights into current and future trends. Together, we discuss how geocaching can help rediscovering travel locations which are close to your home unfold a totally great new thrill and helps reducing your Carbon Footprint without missing new experiences. We also talk about possibilities to guide tourism streams, keeping them away from protected places and showing them fascinating spots which combine a great experience with the respect for nature. Let's wake up the child in you and join us on our next trip!
