Travel Tales From Beyond The Brochure


Mar 3, 2022

Hello!

This podcast episode has a rather overly grand title, but it's really a continuation of Episode 48, about environmentalism. I look at topics like agricultural practices, diet, the concept of slow travel, accommodation, driving, office work, and fashion. All enveloped in a nice packet of privilege identification. Be thankful I didn't go into things like sustainability and greenwashing. Maybe that's something for another pod. Can we save the world? I guess that's up to us.

Topics discussed include:
* Parkrun update (including volunteering)
* Twitter Spaces update
* Palm Oil on the beach
* Vegetarianism and Veganism
* Why I don't like flying
* 'Eating like a local' isn't aspirational
* Slow Travel and why it's both my style and not my style
* How to alienate a travel blogger community in one easy step
* Why AirBnB is a good thing
* The benefits and malefits of cars
* The joys of working on an out-of-town business park
* All about 'Share-Taxis'
* "It's all just about privilege, isn't it?"
* Fashion Blogging with the Barefoot Backpacker

Contributions from this pod are from Roo (Roo Loves Travel), Agnes (Travel on the Reg), Amanda (Thoughtful Travel Pod), and Victoria (You Can Call Me V).

A PDF transcript of this episode is available.
