Join historian Bettany Hughes, travel journalist Mary Novakovich, philosopher Julian Baggini, and others as they dive into the ever-evolving meaning of travel. They explore the allure of ancient journeys and the significance of the Grand Tour, while Baggini questions the assumption that travel broadens the mind. The conversation touches on the impact of social media on authentic experiences, the roles women have played in shaping travel narratives, and the challenge of balancing planning with serendipity for deeper encounters.
