I’ve been super interested in the world of conscious travel lately. And although I’m not traveling right now, I’m stockpiling information that can be used (hopefully) later on.

So, if you’re a hopeful traveler like myself, or you’ve already been globetrotting the world, here are some of my favorite podcast episodes to inspire your ethical and conscious travels.

The Thoughtful Travel Podcast

The Thoughtful Travel Podcast is hosted by seasoned traveler, Amanda Kendle, as she interviews fellow travelers on their experiences traveling consciously around the world.

Zero to Travel Podcast
