The Travel Trends Taking Over 2026 (And Why Some People Think You Should Just Stay Home)

Are you traveling for real reasons — or just to escape your own life? No shame just curious!

This week on Two Voices, No Filter, Georgette and Valentina go through 2026's weirdest travel trends: dead zoning (disconnecting completely, no signal, no Wi-Fi), glow-cations (traveling abroad for cheaper wellness treatments — Turkish teeth, Albanian surgery, Korean skincare), and the rise of "why-cations" — trips built around a personal need instead of a destination.

They also get into the uncomfortable question at the center of it all: does travel actually change you, or are we just using it to avoid fixing our lives at home? Is it all too much?

Plus: over-tourism in Florence, dark tourism ethics, why AI trip-planning still gets it wrong, and the books that stuck with them longer than the trips themselves.

Dive in with them and let them know why travel and if you've felt compelled to discover places in a different way.
