#2.4 How can we travel mindfully in an unequal world?
Traveling can stir up a lot of questions and emotions, not least with regard to race, privilege and power.
Our guest this week, Dr. Anu Taranath, is here to help us navigate our uncomfortable travel experiences. She explains how we can move beyond guilt when we travel, and find ways to use our difficult moments or encounters to promote justice and compassion.
Dr. Anu is a speaker, facilitator and professor who is also the author of an acclaimed book, "Beyond Guilt Trips: Mindful Travel in an Unequal World." The winner of a Newsweek Future of Travel award for storytelling, Dr. Anu serves as a racial equity consultant for businesses and organizations that, as she puts, are trying to do better in this broken world that we live in.
We hope this conversation gives you some good food for thought, and we would love to hear what you think!
Plus, listen up for the latest installment in our language lessons series, in which our producer, Artemis, learns a phrase in Korean.
Thank you so much for listening!
