## Resource

Karen and I are back with part 2 of our conversation from last episode where we discussed Karen’s experience growing up in Nigeria, living abroad Ukraine, Germany and now Portugal, and we are continuing our discussion about hot travel takes today. on this episode, we chat about: - the dark side of travel — racism and colonialism* - cultural exoticism/fetishization - voluntourism and how it’s problematic *disclaimer: Karen and I are NOT experts on this topic, and our intention isn’t to “school” anyone, blame, or shame — but rather start a dialogue about travel topics that aren’t really talked about. *this is PART 1 of a 2-part conversation with Karen :) featured questions: 1. What is implicit racism and how have you experienced it? 2. How does racism start, and how does it manifest in the travel industry? 3. Why are things such as cultural appropriation and exoticism/fetishization such big problems and how can you avoid them yourself? ━━━━━━━━ ⟡ ━━━━━━━━ connect with Karen here! ✨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kirukayaking?igsh=MXU3Z3R1eDh5ejFweA== ━━━━━━━━ ⟡ ━━━━━━━━ connect with me here :) Instagram: ✨ @lydiaschultzz https://www.instagram.com/lydiaschultzz/ ✨ @gottacaseofwanderust https://www.instagram.com/gottacaseofwanderlust?igsh=MTJjZ2p6bWZpdXBrYw%3D%3D&utm_source=qr ✨Travel Blog: gottacaseofwanderlust.com ✨Travel Guides: https://www.thatch.co/@gottacaseofwanderlust ━━━━━━━━ ⟡ ━━━━━━━━
