@roshineemookaiah: Is travel political? Yes- and let’s unpack why. This is a reflection video I made while I was in Bali briefly for a work trip, back in May. And I was able to see glimpses of how over-tourism was manifesting in such sacred, spiritual spaces such as Ubud. #malaysia #bali #travel #politics

the recent trend of backpacking; power shift of white people to just travel for 'change of situation' but south people have to endure 1039933 hardship to even go neighbouring countries

I am white and I had to sit with this in Vietnam. But now I see it and understand its roots, I have to do something about it. Ethical travel sounds like a nice concept but I worry that its the green washing of colonialism. I haven't got an answer but shutting up and listening and trying to make good choices is what I've got so far.

I gave up travel with all those visa hassle. I mean if I'm not worthy for them then let it be unknown for me 🤣 I rather just go to the other countries that grants free visa or coming back to the same places everytime. 💋

I thought Malaysians have strong passport? Do they ask you these things when you enter EU despite being visa-free?
