One of the best travel pieces I’ve read. So much detail and nuance (which, despite rampant travel influencer mentality, is the reality of every single place on earth). Excited to read more of your work!

Very good article and I loved Bhutan myself, though it was a different century when I visited...

I think it's time for another visit, your article has triggered that...

Thank you 🙏

Implementing happiness metrics has its challenges, such as ensuring data accuracy and avoiding the politicisation of well-being indicators. Critics argue that subjective measures can be influenced by cultural norms and may not capture structural inequalities.

That’s a very good point about cultural norms. It’s a fair point!
