Welcome back to another episode of the TravelPulse Podcast!
This week, I'm joined by Natalie Compton, a travel reporter and columnist at the Washington Post. Together we first discuss the latest trending news in the travel industry, including America's passport issues, Europe's summer travel season, and much more.
Later, Compton and I dive into the difference between being a tourist and being a traveler and how those terms have changed post-pandemic. Compton shares her thoughts on tourist traps following her recent column titled "In Defense of Tourist Traps" and I share whether I love or loathe the hop-on hop-off bus.
The discussion The Tourist vs. The Traveler begins just before the 20 minute mark.
