This Season, We're Changing Narratives

Welcome back to a new season of our podcast!

At Going Places, we cultivate hope with stories of people and places that bring our shared humanity back into focus.

This season is all about changing narratives.

From who gets to tell the story of a place to revealing the hidden history of Muslim Europe and elevating the people who serve as the backbone of the trekking industry, you'll hear voices, perspectives, and stories that will provide a deeper understanding of places and cultures around the world.

This season, you’ll hear from:

Muna Haddad, founder and CEO of Baraka Destinations in Jordan
Lale Arikoglu, a longtime editor at Condé Nast Traveler and host of the Women Who Travel podcast
Marinel de Jesus, advocate for porters in the trekking industry and the founder of the Porter Voice Collective
Tharik Hussain, author of Muslim Europe
and many more

💡

"Travel journalism for so many years has been told through one lens, a Western point of view. At Condé Nast Traveler, it's a conversation we're having a lot: how we as editors and writers can be better about thinking who gets to tell those stories." – Lale Arikoglu

This season, we also want to hear from you!

Send us a short note with your name, where you’re calling in from, and an answer to two questions:

What gives YOU hope in this moment in time
Which place you are going to next

We’ll run your answers at the end of the season in our Community Voices episode.

To participate, fill out this short form OR send a short audio clip (a phone voice recording is just fine!) to hello@goingplacesmedia.com by Monday, April 27.
