This is a short introduction to the show and my motivation for making this intersectional outlook on travel. 

The first official episodes will be out on August 15th.!

#OntheGreenTrack is meant to open up for a wider conversation and awareness that we usually are not encouraged to have about tourism, travel and mobility in order to understand why we want to travel and why we value it as we do 🌱

So that we can spread the message even further and let the community grow.

Thank you for listening 🙏

On the Green Track ep. 0

1) In this episode, we discuss the term 'mobility,' which refers to the ability to move or be moved freely and easily.
In case you want a more clear definition of the term 'mobility' in the context of tourism please check out the first episode in the Green Tracking Series, in which we explain the concept further.

For this episode, Thor and I discuss these complexities and the fine border  between travelling for holidays and fleeing from a crisis. In the  tourism sector, the debate about mobility and the tourism sector's responsibility within this, are often silenced.
Therefore, I hope you  will find this interesting in order to think further about how the  tourism sector could begin to engage itself more actively and thereby  give visitors a choice to help and to become aware of how mobility is  defining and shaping everyone's lives.

Travel And The Complexity of Mobility

2) First episode of two parts!
Our guest on this episode is tourism professor Colin Michael Hall. The episode is divided into two parts and is a step further on our Green Track. From starting with talking about concrete tourism and  travel experiences together with Thor from the Once Upon A Saga project,  we now move to the more theoretical and artistic realm.

Based on Joseph Mallord William Turner's landscape painting "Snow Storm: Steam-Boat off a Harbour's Mouth" (1842), we discuss why we travel and how our relationship to  nature, which is an important asset when travelling for most, is shaped  by cultural discourses, trends and also urbanization, which we during  the COVID-19 pandemic are being confronted with and impacted by in various of contradicting ways.

Travel and The Art of Landscape Paintings part I

Welcome on the Green Tracking Series!

In this mini-pod, we explore concepts coming up On The Green Track. For this mini-episode, we look at what is meant by the term ‘mobility’ in Episode 1: Travel and The Complexities of Mobility - a conversation with Thor from the Once Upon A Saga. So join us on this micro-adventure and explore for yourself how you understand the term.

About:
This series takes up concepts touched upon On The Green Track conversations. In this way, it becomes more transparent what is meant by the terms used, as these can have different definitions and are applied differently in the tourism and travel sector. For example: you might book an eco hotel on your holiday destination and then you read how sustainable tourism research defines 'eco' tourism and suddenly this definition and how 'eco' is applied in the hotel do not line up.

OTGT:
On the Green Track is a podcast for you who loves to travel or work within the travel sector and wish to explore new ways of thinking and redefining tourism  industry in a time, in which the sector needs to change faster than ever. In this pod, we look at the term ‘travel’ from an intersectional  and philosophical point of view, so if you want to understand better the why and the how behind our needs of travel, then join us on this  journey and learn how far we can actually go.

Travel and The Art of Landscape Paintings part II

In this episode, we explore what 'sustainable' travel actually means and some of the key features, which seem important for the sustainable tourism sector such as: storytelling, identity and the green traveller as a consumer.
Instead of focusing on what is "real" sustainable travel and tourism, we explore how the sustainable tourism sector is trying to implement new practices and change the industry from the inside out.
Together with our guest Louise de Hemmer from Green Destinations, we ask the question:  
Does sustainable travel make us travel abroad less or has it become an unescapable way of forming an identity today?

Louise De Hemmer Travel and The Concept of Sustainability

1)First episode out of two parts!  

Have you ever watched a movie, read a book, heard a story or a song about a certain place in the world that you felt like you just had to visit?
 Art can move us, literally, and this is partly what this first episode out of two is about.   

Together with professor in art historian Geoff Lehman, we will explore on this path of our journey, what our internal life and dreams make us think and meet the travel destinations we go to.
In order to get there, we will look at Wang Ximeng (late 11th to early 12th c.), hand scroll “One Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains (千里江山圖) ” to open up for this conversation about how perspectives can impact our relation to the non-urbanised nature and our why of being a tourist.
 This take us on a wide journey exploring museums and art galleries as travel destinations, the influence of our dreams when meeting a new culture and the balance between our expectations and what actually happens when we travel.
