  • Amazing!

    I always look forward to new episodes because Mar and Meg feel like friends you could talk to for hours. They are not afraid to be silly and never make the topics feel too serious or polished. I like that they share their own stories and are honest about still figuring things out.

    I haven’t gotten to travel much yet, but the more I listen to more I want to go see everywhere. I learn something new every episode, and not just about travel, but about life.

  • For open-minded travelers

    An excellent podcast for those of us who dream of traveling in a way conected to our values, respecting the natural environment and culture and wanting to support the local economy.

    Mar and Meg take us on a journey all around the world but they don't just list countries, they share real stories because they meet people, visit hidden gems and learn artisanal techniques. They avoid superficiality and immerse themselves to discover the richness of each destination they choose.

    They also offer tons ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#23 | Queer Travel Beyond the Rainbow Flag
Q: What should travelers look for to know a business is genuinely LGBTQ welcoming rather than just friendly?
Look for visible LGBTQ representation on websites and social channels, year-round acknowledgment of Pride beyond sales, explicit anti-discrimination policies, staff training programs, and accreditation such as IGLTA; beware marketing-only gestures.
#23 | Queer Travel Beyond the Rainbow Flag
Q: When did you realize inclusion was a larger industry problem beyond just a content gap?
Meg describes the moment the email avalanche started and analytics showed readers engaging, which prompted her to shift from personal storytelling to useful resources like queer-friendly destinations, inclusive hotels, and queer-owned businesses.
#12 | Multisensory Travel
Q: What challenges do you regularly face that sighted travelers might not be thinking of?
The biggest challenge is pervasive assumptions that disability equals lack of ability; people often intervene assuming they know what's best, which can be dangerous. Travel venues and services need to understand varied needs and respect independence.
#4 | You Have What You Need to Stay Safe
Q: What does self-defense mean beyond the physical, and how do you teach it to be practical for everyday life?
Self-defense is a holistic set of skills including verbal boundary setting, de-escalation, and mindset, not just physical moves. The goal is to prevent fights, empower people to disengage safely, and apply these tools in daily life as well as in outdoor or travel contexts.
