How travelers travel
Going heart-to-heart with the world’s most influential travelers to discover the places, moments, and memories that have shaped them.
Each episode offers a rolodex of recommendations to help you plan your own travels; from unconsidered destinations to the world’s most unmissable hotels. Together, we want to understand how travel can evoke in us the strongest of feelings – and the most enduring emotions.
In their second conversation, Tom Marchant is joined again by Anant Sharma, renowned futurist, strategist and founder of Matter Of Form, and a globally in-demand voice on human behaviour, design and the future of experience.
In this episode, the focus shifts from emotion to perspective, exploring how Anant travels and experiences the world. From bricking his phone in transit to protect moments of reflection, to noticing the small details that shape trust and meaning, his approach is both deliberate and deeply intentional.
Together, they explore how to avoid over-structuring trips, how to build space for serendipity, and why friction can be an essential part of a richer, more meaningful journey. They also touch on the role of great guides, the power of small signals, and why luxury, at its best, should allow us to slow down rather than accelerate.
This is a conversation about how we move through the world and how to do it better.
