The tourism industry has been massively affected by the spread of coronavirus, as many countries have introduced travel restrictions in an attempt to contain its spread. The United Nations World Tourism Organization estimated that global international tourist arrivals might decrease by 20–30% in 2020, leading to a potential loss of US$30–50 billion. In many of the world's cities, planned travel went down by 80–90%. Since none of us can physically travel anywhere right now, I wanted to talk to someone who could take me on a virtual adventure around the world.
In this episode, I am joined by my good friend Caroline Sandström, a 22-year-old modern-day traveler and adventurer from Sweden. Looking at her Instagram pictures and hearing her stories about the vibrant Holi festival in India, island hopping in Fiji, scooter rides through the Vietnamese wilderness, late-night dance parties in the Philippines, and emotional sightseeing’s in Laos made me feel both jealous and incredibly alive. We talk about how she funded all her trips over the last few years, some of the people she met along the way, falling in love on the road, travelling with friends versus traveling solo, and what makes her feel most alive. If you are longing to travel, feel stuck at home, or just want a nice break from reality, just push your headphones in, turn the volume up, and enjoy this conversation with Caroline Sandström.
