Why It’s Time to Go Off-Grid

Episode Summary

Post-lockdown, we want to head out on an epic voyage of discovery. No more manana manana (“tomorrow, tomorrow”) it’s time to seize the day. Join us as we deep-dive into why adventure travel is set to rise, the trips we’re planning to take and catch up with world-recorder holder and environmentalist activist Kiko Matthews.

Episode Notes

Let’s be honest, we’ve had a lot of time to plan our next big adventure. Post-lockdown, when it’s safe to do so, we want to head out on an epic voyage of discovery. No more manana manana (“tomorrow, tomorrow”) it’s time to seize the day.

Join us, Editor-in-Chief India Dowley and Content Editor Fleur Rollet-Manus, as we discuss (read: fight) over the trips we’re going to be taking, deep-dive into why adventure travel is set to rise and consider pressing pause on city breaks for a while.  

We also catch up with world-record holder and environmental activist Kiko Matthews to discuss her intrepid adventures, tackling 50ft waves and how Prince Harry fuelled her love for adventure.

We’d love to know where you’re going next and how you think the travel landscape might change post-pandemic. Send your voice notes to fleur@suitcasemag.com or drop us a DM on Instagram @indiadowley and @fleur_rm. For a daily dose of travel inspiration, check in with us at suitcasemag.com
