How to Travel for Yourself

Have you ever planned a trip, but felt less than excited about what the guide book recommends? Or have you visited an attraction that everyone was talking about and thought to yourself “what’s the big deal?”?

On this episode, we are discussing traveling for yourself. This came up for us quite a bit last month as we planned our trip to Myanmar. We bought a guidebook and began to look at the recommended things to do, trying to filter out what we actually wanted to do and what would actually give us enjoyment.

The thing that we struggle with is this idea that you “have’ to see something. That you haven’t really experienced a city or country if you don’t see the top attractions. So, we’re tackling how to deal with this, how to figure out what you like + don’t like, and ultimately, how to enjoy your travels a little bit more.

Enjoy!

What we Talk About

  • Context for this episode + planning for Myanmar
  • How to figure out what you like when you first start traveling
  • Why you should stop doing things you don’t like
  • How to make tourist activities more enjoyable
  • How to choose the activities + sights in a place that you will enjoy
  • How we figure out what we like to do
  • Travel shaming
  • Travel as an identity + feeling like you have to do  certain things
  • And much more… Here’s the episode!
