Host Katie Clark emphasizes that understanding personal motivations for travel is crucial for a deeper experience, more so than the pace of travel. She shares an anecdote about a fellow travel blogger prioritizing food and wine in Florence, validating diverse travel interests.
“There is one thing though, that I think is really important for everyone to do, regardless of their travel style, and that's to think about the reasons why you travel. So it's much more important than the speed or the pace at which you go.”
“I love talking to people about this and justice. Last weekend I chatted to one of the other moms at my son's soccer match who had just returned from Rome. She was just so excited about the history and architecture and art of the city, and she said that three days was just not enough for her.”
“Laura is a travel blogger who loves food and wine. That is her passion. And when I took the time to think about that's more. After my initial outrage and shock, I had to really respect that she was true to herself and not moving to the beat of anyone else's drum.”
