Same here! Great job, Ketong, on covering the complicated subject of voluntourism. I don't know how to get in touch with you, but I'd love to get you a copy of my book "Tread Brightly: Notes on Ethical Travel."

This comment made my day! To me, travel is not just about escaping the world, but engaging with the world more deeply. Travel journalism IMO should be a vehicle to help people see the world in a more complex, curious, open-hearted way ✨

@sarika008 Finally got through my Spring 2022 @AFARmedia issue. So many publications/tour companies/etc make bold claims about brining attention to Responsible Tourism but this issue was SO much more than lip service! Looking forward to my next issue more than ever 🎉

Thank you so much for reading me and these other wonderful authors!

@sharmadillo Hello, friend! You might like this essay I published a few years ago. My answer would be yes, because I think kids should be exposed to lots of ideas and thinkers, and if one doesn't stand the test of time, it could prompt (an age-appropriate) discussion.

Gen Xer parents who read Dickens in their colonial/ post colonial childhood - would you recommend Dickens to your children? Somhow the stories of poverty and inequality during Europe's peak industrial revolution left an indelible mark on me... do they stand the test of time?

@natessa2022 @AFARmedia Wow, thank you! What was it? My email is sbansal at afar dot com ✨

@sarika008 @AFARmedia Sarika- I was trying to figure out how to reach out out to you via phone or zoom. I read something of yours yesterday and it was so impactful and life-changing. Please let me know how to best contact you. Thanks! (P.S. - I completely agree about Paris in cold weather!) :)

My dreams of strolling around Paris with a croissant and beret were dashed when I arrived to inclement weather, stroller in hand. But there is still a lot to love about the City of Light in the cold. My first digital piece for @AFARmedia: afar.com/magazine/what-…

@abbyfalik @courtwrites @danielapapi Thank you so much for sharing, Abby! I'm super interested in digital nomadism right now and will definitely read this.
English
This thought-provoking read on “digital nomads” in Mexico City reminds me of the many important takes from the likes of @courtwrites, @danielapapi, and @sarika008 on the need for ethical travel. What are our responsibilities when we leave home? vox.com/the-goods/2299…

Thank you to the incredibly kind @FlyRwandAir stewardess for your sympathy and humanity during random airplane bouts of crying for my lost people 🙏🏽💖

All of this. And also, I think the assumption is that fighting in the Middle East or Africa will stay there, while a European war could expand to other parts of the world.
Jill Filipovic@JillFilipovic
Part of this is an understandable proximity question — Europeans are physically proximate, Americans have long felt culturally closer to Europe, and millions of Americans are Ukrainian, Russian, or descendants. But a big part of it really is just a massive empathy gap.

Such incredible news! I'm so chuffed to be part of this small and mighty team that is helping redefine what travel means during a difficult time, and showing readers how to explore the world responsibly, with curiosity and joy.

At 62, Dr. Farmer passed away far too early. He still had so much left to give. Though, by the same token, he has left an indelible mark on the world. He changed the field of global health. I hope he rests easy, and it's on the rest of us to continue his legacy. A luta continua.

7 (contd)) ...and no longer used for productive agriculture. It was a reminder that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and that landscapes are always more complicated than they may appear to the naked eye.

A few of the lessons I learned from Dr. Paul Farmer, my professor, mentor, and lifelong inspiration:
1) Values show up not in what you say, but what you do. Dr. Farmer spent so much time in Haiti, and truly lived *in community* while there, seemingly with ease and grace.
