Curious Tourism: Responsible Travel Podcast

Erin is joined by her producer, Kattie, to end the year off on a more personal note. You've heard Erin talk A LOT all year, and heard Kattie chuckling in the background, but we've never really shared what makes us... us!
We thought we'd share whats been going on with us throughout 2019, what we've learned through the first year of this podcast, and what we see coming up for 2020 as conscientious travelers. We're feeling festive and reflective.

S2 Ep34: Should We Extreme Travel?

1 Recommendations

There is a small subset of travelers that take travel thrills to the extreme. Very extreme.
Andrew Drury joins us in this episode to discuss the ethics around extreme travel. To date, Andrew has ventured into insurgent Afghanistan, he’s been threatened at gun-point by the KKK, and he’s encountered ISIS in the Middle East. Andrew's adventures have been the subject of many news articles, and, you might recognize him from the Netflix show, Dark Tourist.
Erin questions the power imbalance between extreme tourists and local guides, and discusses the focus on truth-finding in conflict zones. It is possible to learn the complexities of a country that is stereotyped by war? ...And should we travel there?

S2 Ep36: Travel "Back in the Day" and Exploring Soviet Russia

The way that we travel is constantly changing.
Just 20 years ago, for example, travelers didn't have Google Maps to guide them, or social media to keep them connected to family and friends at home.
Join Erin as she chats with a fellow solo woman traveler, Valika Kunkel. Valika tells the story of how she boarded her first transatlantic flight in the early 60s at age 13 - completely alone. She shares her experiences from traveling by car through Soviet Russia to connecting with other travelers on trains, without the help of social media!
