Episode 26 Travel Trailblazer: Steven Shalowitz

Melissa speaks with Steven Shalowitz, the host of The One Way Ticket Show. Over the past ten years, he’s been interviewing thought leaders in business, travel, art and entertainment around one question: “If I gave you a one-way ticket, where would you go?”

Steven is also an avid and intrepid traveler himself. He studied and worked across China, Hong Kong, and Singapore for 16 years and has visited over 70 countries, many of which aren’t typical tourist destinations. Recent trips include Iraq, North Korea, Afghanistan, Libya, Iran and Burundi. Through eye-opening and heartwarming anecdotes, he shares the invaluable cultural and moral lessons he’s gained from off-the-beaten path travel. Plus, he and Melissa also discuss what it means to have an authentic experience in another country, how special it is to visit a destination before it enters the mainstream, and the ethics of traveling to places with complex politics. 

Then, on travel hacks, Melissa shares how airport meet and greet services can make your next flight seamless.
