• What It’s Like to Travel the World as an Interracial Couple

  Travel media still often presents a narrow version of what travel looks like, and interracial couples are rarely a part of that picture. For these couples traveling together across cultures and borders can bring unique challenges, but also, really special and meaningful moments. Katie and Bhavik join the show having just returned to Canada after spending 14 months traveling through Asia and beyond. We dig into what that experience was like, and how their shared identity as a interracial marriage couple shaped their trip. PLUS we chat about the ethics of sharing the perished trekkers of Mount Everest on social media, and the glorification of traveling with an irresponsibly financial budget!Guests: Katie & Bhavik. Burnt-out from their pharmacist jobs and re-assessing life after a severe honeymoon illness, Katie and Bhavik quit it all to travel the world for a year. Now, they are travel content creators and bloggers.
