| 6/5/26 | ![]() Episode 64: Travel FOMO and Social Media: Quit Comparing and Enjoy Your Own Journey | In this episode, Rosa and Rachel dive deep into the phenomenon of travel FOMO by exploring how social media, societal pressures, and personal expectations fuel the fear of missing out on travel experiences. Through personal stories, honest reflections, and practical strategies, they help listeners navigate these feelings in a healthy and grounded way.The conversation kicks off with a look at the social media age and the "highlight reel" illusion: how curated photos, filters, and carefully chosen angles create unrealistic expectations and fuel comparison. Rosa and Rachel open up about how travel content creation can lead to feelings of jealousy and imposter syndrome, and pull back the curtain on what social media doesn't show: the real struggles, the behind-the-scenes chaos, and the gap between a polished post and lived experience.From there, the episode explores the deeper roots of FOMO — societal and economic pressures, the emotional weight of missing out on moments with friends and family, and the question of whether FOMO is really about the trip itself or about identity. They also tackle the realities of press trips and curated content, income instability for travel creators, and the dopamine hit of documenting a moment versus actually living it.
