Overtourism: What It Is, Why It Matters and How You Can Help
Overtourism isn’t just a travel buzzword — it’s a growing challenge that can impact the places we love most.
In this episode, I break down exactly what overtourism is and how it changes a destination — from overcrowded streets to rising prices that push out locals.
I share a personal story from my own life about how it affected a place I once called home.
And we’ll look at the ways governments are trying to tackle the problem.
Most importantly, I’ll give you practical, doable tips for being a responsible traveler — so you can still enjoy incredible destinations while helping to protect them for future generations.
Whether you’re planning your next trip or just curious about how tourism shapes the world, this episode will inspire you to travel a little smarter and a lot more thoughtfully.
