aren't benefiting local communities.
Jillian and Whitney also share their experiences on traveling abroad and reveal tips on how to maximize time off work to travel, how to be a knowledgeable, respectful and safe traveler, and the one thing that you need to do if you ever get lost in local markets.
Takeaways from this episode:
- It can be humbling to be taken out of your comfort zone when traveling in a very different culture.
- Experiencing the authentic culture is actually cheaper than supporting international chains.
- Beware of fake artisanal products in markets that are made in China.
- Do not buy from the children, as it perpetuates the problem and it can be sometimes tied to human trafficking.
- Don't be afraid to haggle - the seller won't sell a product if they think your offer is too low.
- Talk to shopkeepers if you need directions, because it's in their best interest to keep tourists safe.
