Craving Golden Kiwis, Living Life Abroad to the Fullest, and 'Writing' a Wrong in the World with Kelsey Powell Creative Cravings

What happens when you find yourself craving a new lifestyle? You design a life of adventure abroad and discover more of who you really are.
Our podcast guest this week is Kelsey Powell, a risk-taker, writer of wrongs in the world, creative soul, animal lover, and founder of cravingapeace.com / @cravingapeace. She expresses herself creatively through her vegan blog, inspires you to travel and explore — even if you’re going at it alone — and dishes out which food, travel destinations, and big life cravings are on her bucket lists. Kelsey is an incredible example of someone who knows that chasing your creative cravings can truly be a compass guiding the direction of your life, no matter how challenging or scary it may be. Make your way over to Instagram @creative.cravings to participate in this week’s creative challenge, inspired by Kelsey and her 3 ingredients for living life to the fullest.
How did Kelsey change the path of her life by starting a vegan blog, feeling lost in the US, and finding herself in New Zealand? Kelsey is such a role model for chasing your creative cravings, especially when your creativity allows you to stand up for what you believe in most.
