Quick reminder: You have another week to send me your songs for inclusion on our Travel Anthems playlist (reply via email / DM me / or submit here)!
Continuing our month on the Sociology of… Travel, I’m offering a more extended Audio Advice Column than usual today. As I noted last week in my article, this is a topic where I have a lot of thoughts and experience, so I’ve broken this month’s audio advice into 6 parts — feel free to skip ahead to whichever sections most appeal to you:
00:00 Part 1: “Local” vs “traveler” experiences — which is “real”?
04:50 Part 2: Traveling while American
15:00 Part 3: The impossible task of picking favorites (but here are a few)
22:15 Part 4: Social-media-motivated travel
24:45 Part 5: Setting the record straight on “digital nomads”
30:30 Part 6: Finding home through travel (and how to make each place feel like home)
As always, my hope is this will be more of a conversation than a monologue, so find me in the comments with your thoughts and takeaways.
"Traveling while American?" Finding home anywhere?
