  • Ethical Trekking Advice

    As a native Peruvian it always amuse me the gringos who play the White Saviour role. The lady who wants interviewed kind of understands some issues but of course, she only scratches the surface. She may have good intentions but I wonder if, as many white people, she wants to satisfy an unconscious need to feel better with herself. She mentioned she was afraid to be offensive to Peruvian nationals, well she didn’t offend me, she annoyed me.

  • Not for me

    I specifically chose the episode about the West Highland Way to find out more information for an upcoming trip but after listening to the first 20 minutes I had heard nothing about it. Also I’ve never heard so many “so like you knows” in my life, to the point that it became distracting and that’s all I could hear!

    Not keen on his style. All that ‘my friend’ is very false. Amateur Traveler is much better!

  • Best travel podcast

    Been a listener since 2018, and Jason never disappoints. The wide variety of the types of shows and the things he covers by far makes this the best travel podcast out there not only that, but he’s been extremely consistent and this has always been one of the best parts of my week! Thank you Jason! Keep doing you, whatever that means to you!

How to Connect with Cultures Around the World with Dr. Kristina Wachter
