Slow travel or fast travel — which style actually fits your life right now? Paula sits down with returning guests Deborah De Reeper and Jo Hunter for an honest panel conversation about how travel changes as we get older, why the "travel while you can" message might be doing us a disservice, and where to actually go instead of the obvious hotspots.

In this episode

• Empty nesters on travel without the kids — and why it changes everything
• The guilt-free case for going less often but travelling better (yes, business class)
• Big cities vs countryside — why safety is reshaping where we go
• People-led travel: the expat superpower you didn't know you had
• Famous places to skip — and Vietnam, Morocco & rural France as the real heroes
