Have you ever considered privilege while traveling with friends? Do you have certain members of your crew that can get away with some shit you’d never even dream of trying? Ever meet someone abroad and wonder how they managed to successfully pull off some wild shit you’d NEVER attempt? There are levels to privilege and it’s more pervasive in travel than you think.

Far too many of us loose loved ones to violence. I recently said goodbye to a friend I’d known over 30 years because of gun violence. This week was an emotional one for me.

This week I was joined by If of Does Anybody Else See That Sh!t as we talked about actively using travel as a condui...
