    The Truth About Travel: What If Playing It Safe Is the Biggest Risk? with Angie Orth

    In this episode of Destination Happiness, I sit down with author and traveller Angie Orth, the inspiring creator behind Angie Away. Before Instagram and the influencer era, Angie left a successful PR career in New York City to chase adventure—an unconventional decision that led to a life of travel, challenges, and self-discovery. We dive into her journey of defying expectations, navigating natural disasters, and embracing uncertainty. Angie also shares insights from her memoir, Flirting with Disaster, where she reflects on life-changing experiences, the realities of travel beyond the highlight reel, and why taking risks is the key to truly living. In this episode, we cover: - Leaving behind a corporate career for a life of adventure - Facing tsunamis, earthquakes, and unexpected challenges on the road - Why the ‘perfect’ travel experience can sometimes disappoint —and why that’s okay - The power of embracing uncertainty and rewriting your own path - How fear and taking risks shape who we become Angie’s wisdom is a reminder that tomorrow isn’t guaranteed, so why not start living today? Tune in for an honest, inspiring conversation that might just give you the push you need to take that leap. 📖 Find Angie’s book, Flirting with Disaster, and more at www.angieaway.com. 🎙️ Listen to Angie’s podcasts But Did You Die? and Travelling with AAA for more travel stories and unfiltered insights.
