In this episode of World In My Eyes, I speak with Julia Cosgrove, Editor-in-Chief of Afar Media, about how travel journalism adapted during the pandemic, why representation and responsibility now sit at the centre of travel storytelling, and what it means to treat travel as a force for good. From Afar’s digital growth and editorial pivots to the enduring value of print and long-form narratives, our conversation explores how curiosity, empathy, and intention can reshape the future of travel media.
Travel stopped, but curiosity did not. In a moment when borders closed, and the world shrank to our living rooms, the best travel storytelling carried a different responsibility: to inform with empathy, entertain without escapism, and remind people that the world would still be there when it was safe to return.
