ON THIS EPISODE

Delia Colantuono joins Matt over a bottle of wine on the Nomad Cruise and starts off reflecting on Matt’s Keynote speech about the importance of consistently standing with oppressed groups around the world as we travel. Delia then reflects on her personal journey growing up in Italy, and how the development of her political consciousness was intertwined with her early travels. She then talks about her journey as a solo female traveler and eventually a full-time digital nomad. Delia shares stories from her travels to over 60 countries, especially around her main passions of scuba diving and free diving.  She also reflects on over-touristification, digital nomad gentrification, how we can be better allies with marginalized groups as we travel, and how we can be more environmentally sustainable, socially conscious, and thoughtful as we move through the world. And, finally, Delia talks about her mentoring program for aspiring solo-female travelers and her upcoming women’s retreats in the Canary Islands.
