My travel blog to help you travel and work at the same time in a conscious way!

11/08/2026

Did you know that 80% of travelers visit just 10% of the world's tourist destinations?

⚠️So obviously, the pressure on these very sought-after destinations is huge and puts them in danger: strained resources, rising rents, environmental degradation…

The consequences are many, and they are serious.

At the same time, I understand why people still dream of visiting beautiful Barcelona, unique Venice, fascinating Oaxaca, or famous Ubud. It also feels unfair to tell today's travelers that they shouldn't visit places that thousands of people have already enjoyed.

The reality is even more complex because many people and local businesses depend on tourism for their livelihoods.

Personally, I think public institutions have the greatest responsibility when it comes to addressing the consequences of mass tourism. They have the power to regulate short-term rentals, manage visitor numbers, protect natural resources, and ensure that tourism benefits local communities.

The entire responsibility can’t fall on travelers' shoulders, but still… we have a part to play.

So the least we can do is make more conscious choices when we travel. In this carousel, I'm sharing a few ideas to help you do that.

I know things are changing but every time I open my Instagram I can’t help thinking they’re not changing fast enough. White faces still dominate the panorama.

It is the same during my travels, I rarely cross paths with Brown and Black people😬 This clearly tells me we still have a long way to go if we want the travel industry to become more inclusive, and it starts by representation.

So let’s add our little drop of water to the ocean.

Share the profile of a Brown or Black travel creator you love in the comments. Let’s give them a little more visibility✨️

I’ll go first!

This sentence often says more about the traveler than about the local communities.

They judge that material wealth is what matters most. And if someone has less of it, their happiness becomes surprising.

Sometimes, this sentence is also a way to feel better about our own lives.

But, people have every right to want better living conditions without having to give up their culture, identity, or community.

When I was young, I arrived at every destination with a huge checklist of things to do✅️

I was just jumping from one place to another because I was afraid I would never come back.

But I was tired, and I realized I was just ticking boxes on a sheet of paper, but I was not at all taking the time to enjoy and try to understand the place where I was.

So, years later, when I started traveling again, I chose to do it differently. Having a routine in a city that is not mine is my travel experience. I still had a list of things to see or do, but a much shorter one.

The rest of the time, I focused on simple things: taking coffee in quiet cafés, talking for hours with new friends, or just staring at the stars… And still… FOMO showed up.

Actually, it still does. I just find a way to quiet it.

Decolonizing travel is about reflection, curiosity, and a willingness to question our assumptions, but sometimes, it can feel a bit too theoretical, not grounded enough in practice.

Sometimes, you just need some guidance on what to do concretely.

That’s the reason why I created this carousel. I have already talked about some of these simple practices in previous posts, but I thought it could be useful to bring them together in one place for some practical guidance.

As a brown woman who has traveled in several countries over the years, I have often noticed that I don't experience tourism in the same way as many white travelers.

Not because white travelers don't face challenges, they absolutely do, but because race can shape how we are perceived before we even say a word.

Modern tourism didn't emerge in a neutral world. It developed through colonial histories and unequal power dynamics that shaped who was imagined as the "traveler" and who was not.

Today, tourism is becoming more diverse. More black and brown people are traveling internationally than ever before, even though we remain underrepresented among international travelers.

Most of us still experience moments that remind us we don't always fit the image of what a tourist is "supposed" to look like.

This carousel is not about guilt or blaming individual white travelers.

It's about recognizing that race can shape travel experiences in ways we don't always notice.

If you are white, you didn't choose these privileges. But acknowledging them, and making space for others when you notice them, is one small way to make travel more inclusive for everyone.

I am sure you have seen those Reels of travel influencers getting frustrated when locals ask not to be filmed or photographed📸

There are many reasons why people may not want to appear in photos or videos.

Privacy, religion, cultural beliefs, past experiences, or personal boundaries… all of these are valid.

Photography while traveling should always be an ethical practice, one that puts the consent, dignity, and comfort of the person being photographed, not the desire of the person taking the picture.

Are you used to take pics of people during your trips?

Lately, I have had several discussions about decolonizing travel on this account, and it made me realize that this concept is pretty unclear.

And honestly, that makes sense because yes, it is a concept, and not a fixed one.

I tell you more in this carrousel. I know many of you won't agree on my take, but let's all discuss it in the comment section🗯

What does decolonizing travel mean to you?
