Episode notes

The Amalfi Coast doesn't have the infrastructure to support this tourism, Lexi says. The flight from Paris to Dublin was delayed by an hour because of a line at baggage check. She ran up and down the airport screaming "where's B52?" All I ever want is to make it back in time for Today Explained Vacation.

🎵 Now that I’m away, I wish I had stayed. 🎵 Vox’s Allie Volpe explains why travel feels like such a mess right now (and how to make it a bit better). And the New Yorker’s Agnes Callard makes the case against travel altogether.

This episode was produced by Hady Mawajdeh, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Patrick Boyd, and hosted by Noel King.

Vox’s first-ever travel guide answers some of the biggest questions about navigating the world, the country, and your own backyard: https://vox.com/how-to-travel-now
