Social Commerce & the Zillennial Set: A New Paradigm for Travel?
The way we travel has evolved pretty dramatically since the pandemic. The traditional “Dream/Plan/Book/Go/Share/Repeat” lifecycle has essentially been replatformed as a result of macro trends like the shift to remote work, multiple rounds of stimmie checks, a growing loneliness epidemic, and an acute appreciation for authenticity and sustainability in the travel brands we engage with. We have more time, more money, and more desire to see the world, and we want to do it on our terms.We’re also seeing the stratification in how different generations of travelers are engaging across that t...

Adventures in Papua New Guinea
What was the biggest adventure of your life? Mine was Papua New Guinea. It was both the most challenging and best travel experience I had out of the ~100 countries I’ve explored. It's remote.

Encountering the wrong tribe, animal, insect, or plant could cause serious problems. It is certainly a challenging destination. But those are also the exact reasons I and other travelers looking for an adventure want to visit Papua New Guinea. It...
