Responsible Travel, with Erin Hynes and Kattie Laur

In this episode, Alpaca My Bags podcast host Erin Hynes and producer Kattie Laur chat with me about evolving ideas on sustainable travel and tourism, as well as the ethics of travelling with an escapist mindset. We also talk about whether a tourist is any different than a traveller, the problems with over-tourism, and our experiences travelling to our ancestral countries.
