So, should we still travel? | Ideas in English for Advanced Listening Practice.

from Hear You Go · host Catherine Angus

That’s the question on my mind these days: should we still travel? As I plan a dream trip to Newfoundland, I find myself wrestling with the ethics of tourism: carbon footprints, overtourism, and the impact of my choices on local communities. In this episode, I share, as I so often do, personal stories, I ask some hard questions that feel uncomfortable, and a offer few simple ways we can travel more thoughtfully.  If you’re looking for the perfect answer, I haven’t found it yet.  What about you? Do you ask yourself questions about the ethics of travel and tourism? How do you reconcile the negative impact of tourism with the positive benefits of travel? Have a listen, review and explore the additional links, and let me know what YOU think. As always, I’ll highlight advanced English language (B2 to C2) along the way. Hear You Go gives intermediate and advanced English learners a space to think, learn, and connect in English.
