We love to talk about how travel broadens the mind but who gets to travel freely? And at what cost?

In this fourth episode of Overthinking Summer, I present my thoughts on the ethical tension behind tourism: how it can expand our horizons and exploit local communities at the same time

From overtourism in Venice to backpacking in Southeast Asia, we embark on a little podcast adventure to see how modern travel often replicates colonial patterns, drives up inequality, and contributes to environmental harm.

But it’s not all doom and gloom. Your girl needs a bit of optimism, so we're also going to see what we can do about it on an individual level

Whether you’re planning your next trip or rethinking a past one, this episode invites you to step back and overthink the way we travel
