Spending time outdoors is a big part of travel and tourism. But the outdoors are vulnerable, and it’s important that we all know how to enjoy them responsibly. Erin chats with Taryn Eyton, a Leave No Trace Master Educator and a former member of the board of directors of Leave No Trace Canada, about what it actually means to "leave no trace". They also unpack gatekeeping the outdoors. Is it good to gatekeep? Is it bad? Let’s find out.

Every year, thousands of people travel to Newfoundland and Labrador hoping to see icebergs in the province's famous "Iceberg Alley." But what happens if those icebergs become less predictable? In this episode, I'm joined by local guide Duane Collins (Hare Bay Adventures), who has watched Iceberg Alley change over the course of his life and career. We discuss how climate change is changing iceberg seasons, what that means for tourism, and whether the idea of "last-chance tourism" can inspire climate awareness.

The island of Socotra has recently become popularized online. But in January 2026, geopolitics broke this illusion of this island being a detached, apolitical escape. Foreign tourists found themselves stranded there. Flights were canceled, and there was no clear timeline for when they would be able to leave, all due to rising tensions between Saudi Arabia and the UAE, tied to Yemen’s ongoing conflict. It's time to unpack exactly why travel is political.
