Take a Wander with Shebs

Travel writer Brianne Miers joins this discussion on the key difference between journalism and content creation today. When you look for a holiday package, where do you turn first? A traditional publication with strict editorial guidelines, or a content creator who can go live in 30 seconds? One is bound by ethics, whilst the other is driven by algorithms. Miers breaks down the line between journalism and content creation. The key differences and who you can actually trust. ✅ Stay Connected With Me.

For this episode, let me ask you this: Have you looked closely at your passport lately? Take a good look at those ink stamps. As of April 2026, those stamps are officially dead. The European Union has fully rolled out the EES—the Entry-Exit System. But if you’ve actually travelled through Europe in the last few weeks, as I have done, you know the truth. It isn't exactly a stroll. It’s absolute chaos. ✅ Stay Connected With Me.

We of course spoke about what it is like to travel with a disability, as she is blind. What can be done to improve travel for individuals, whether that's airports or businesses? 👉More on Sara Minkara: Created the Disability Foreign Policy Playbook and advanced disability priorities across major global forums, including the G7, APEC, ASEAN, and C5+1.
