Travel Tales From Beyond The Brochure


May 15, 2020

This week's podcast episode is all about Travel Privilege. That is to say, the advantages that people have that they may not realise, which are accrued by virtue of their background rather than anything they've worked at to obtain.

This covers subjects such as passport privilege - how holding certain nationalities makes travelling much easier - and of course skin colour, and how it's far easier for middle-class 'Westerners' to travel than anyone else.

As someone with a flush of privilege (not a Royal Flush but I'll admit it's not too far off), it's something people especially like me need to keep deep in mind. Privilege itself isn't necessarily a bad thing; it's recognising you have it and making sure you use it appropriately that matters.
