In this episode of Off the Rickshaw, we dive into all things travel — from unforgettable adventures and wild travel stories to the deeper impact it can have on how we see the world. Plus, we share practical travel tips, planning hacks, and wrap things up with a fun round of rapid fire questions. Whether you're a seasoned globetrotter or planning your first trip, this one’s for you!
Traveling is fun… until you hit passport privilege, TSA vibes, or that one uncle asking why you’re wasting money “just to go to the park.”
In this episode, we break down what it’s really like to move through the world in brown skin — from overpacking parathas to airport profiling, and the weird in-between of “going back home.”
In this episode:
Our travel horror stories (yes, including immigration lines)
How we feel about “vacation guilt” in immigrant households
Identity shifts while abroad
Backpacking vs. business class: brown edition
