How to Be a Respectful Traveler, with Molly O’Brien


Listen Later

Travel isn’t what it used to be. Flights, hotels, and experiences have become more accessible, and there are a growing number of people exploring the world, choosing to make travel a priority in their lives. 


As travel has become more affordable around the globe, people are packing their bags and joining that security line at the airport, which can lead to longer wait times, more crowded flights, and busier destinations.


Not only does that put stress on the most sought-after places in the travel circuit, but it can make travel a stressful experience. 


It’s time to talk about R-E-S-P-E-C-T.


Today, Angie Orth welcomes Molly O’Brien, an experienced travel writer who has covered travel topics like etiquette, overtourism, and other important travel trends. Her work has been featured in Travel + Leisure, Condé Nast Traveler, Fodor’s, and Business Insider.


You’ll hear what it means to be a respectful traveler, from the moment you start planning to the journey home. You’ll learn about airport etiquette and best practices for flying, so you can avoid being the subject of a viral online video. You’ll also understand the role of sustainability when it comes to preserving the best parts of the places we love.


What You’ll Learn:

  • (3:38) A checklist of respectful tips
  • (6:08) Navigating local tipping customs
  • (9:50) Being a good airline traveler
  • (17:21) Keeping your cool when travel stress is high
  • (23:13) Being mindful of sustainability when you travel
