Episode 5 - To Heal

Why do we travel? To heal. Y We Travel hosts Eric Weiner and Erica Vella discuss how the distance and distraction can help us recover, not just physically but emotionally. Eric interviews essayist Florence Williams, an author who has written extensively about heartbreak and the ways we move past it. They discuss themes from her essay, including the science and psychology of travelling to feel better, plus a magical day in Italy’s Dolomites that helped Florence move past a difficult divorce. Erica builds on the theme in conversation with Chloe Bow, who built her career as an enabler of solo travel for women on the back of a healing journey following her a breakup of her own.

Episode 4 - To taste

Why do we travel? To taste. Y We Travel hosts Eric Weiner and Erica Vella discuss food as a journey through the cultures we experience on the road. Eric speaks to essayist Nevin Martell, a write and self-proclaimed food “gastronaut” who will taste anything – not once, but twice, just to be sure. They discuss the themes from Nevin’s Walrus piece and more, including how to eat with an open mind, the troublesome idea of “authentic” foods, Nevin’s recent trip to Japan and his proclivity for spending time in grocery stores. Erica builds on that theme in conversation with chef Roger Mooking, who talks about the concept and execution of his restaurant at Toronto Pearson’s Terminal 1 – the demographics, the menu-building and the art of introducing local travellers to global flavours.
