About this episode

From ancient migrations to last-minute flights, the human desire to explore is undeniable. But what happens when our modern travel habits—driven by the hunt for a perfect backdrop—create more problems than they solve? To dive deeper into this, we talk to Ketti Wilhelm, the passionate traveller and creator of the award-winning sustainable travel blog, Tilted Map. Ketti challenges the shame-based narratives around travel and offers a realistic, positive path for the modern adventurer. In this episode, Ketti unpacks the difference between travelling to experience a culture versus simply wanting a different setting with the comforts of home. She provides practical, shame-free travel tips—from booking smarter flights and avoiding tourism leakage to the simple yet profound mindset of "being a guest." This is a great reflection on making trips more meaningful for both the traveller and the places being visited. Show notes: Resources from Ketti at: tiltedmap.com/tacito .
