Have you ever heard the phrase, “The world is your oyster”? Well in today’s episode, Gabi Arbesu explains why that mentality is preventing you from traveling deeper and respectfully.
This week, we share an excerpt from one of our top episodes of all time with Gabi Arbesu — soulful traveler, storyteller, and advocate for culturally conscious travel — to talk about something that really matters: how we show up in the world as travelers.
In this honest and thoughtful conversation, Gabi shares why self-awareness and cultural respect are the real keys to going deeper with your travel experiences. No more performative photo ops or “collecting cultures”. Gabi invites us to travel not to consume, but to observe, learn, and connect — with humility and intention.
If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Am I doing this travel thing right?” - this episode is for you.
What We Talk About:
- Why self-awareness is your most important travel tool
- The difference between observing vs. appropriating culture
- How to notice (and check) your internal biases while abroad
- Real talk on how not to be that tourist
