  • Summary

  • If you’ve been absorbed by the latest season of The White Lotus over the past few weeks, you’ve probably found yourself Googling images of Thailand and wondering whether to book a flight there ASAP. Or perhaps you were once seduced by the fantasy of Eat, Pray, Love and considered dropping all your responsibilities in favor of seeking a path of self discovery in Bali? When it comes to our favorite television shows and movies, the location is often a central character—so much so, that we end up framing our travel plans around it. But what real-life impact can that have on a destination? This week, Lale chats with journalist Shannon Sims to break down the trend of ‘set jetting’ and find out what happens to our favorite places when everyone decides to visit at the same time.
