About this episode

Jonathan Prescott discusses how to travel meaningfully while minimizing the impact on the environment and local communities.

How do we travel without adding to our planet's over-tourism burden? Jonathan Prescott shares insights from his recent month-long European walkabout. He shows how contemplative practice can make travel more meaningful for the traveler, as well as make us less of a burden on the places, people, and objects we interact with. This talk was given at the Guemes Island Community Church.
