WiT Stories: What’s your theme, and are you dreaming of your own “Mousehole”?
Listen now
Description
On this episode, Siew Hoon (Founder, WiT) ponders on a new-ish trend that's being called “theme travel”. New-ish because it used to be called special interest travel - people who travelled for specific interests. In this “Next Generation”, let’s call this tribe, “Themers”. This includes runners who travel for marathons, music fans who go from festival to festival, and event-driven folks who fly across continents for experiences.  This trend somewhat overlaps or intersects with the 'Dreamers' - those who dream of finding their little nook in the world in unfamiliar lands. And oftentimes, it's more than one nook.  Stream this episode to hear more about themed travel, mouseholes and why Siew Hoon prefers to travel like a local.
