The Inquisitive Tourist Nate Ralph

Laura Ericson gave up her dayjob to pursue her dream of boutique-style group travel, in the fall of 2021.

As her motto on her website says:

"BOUTIQUE-STYLE GROUP TRAVEL, CURATED WITH SOLO TRAVELERS LIKE YOU IN MIND"

She is based in Wisconsin, USA, but between 25-50% of her year, she is away travelling with the tours she herself organises for people the world over!

More specifically, group travel. She researches destinations, she loves 'off the beaten path', she goes out of her way to research all the things to be done when there, and then organises trips to these places for anyone who wants in.

Fancy going somewhere but have nobody to go with? Running out of travel buddies? What if you want to feel safe in the knowledge you'll be with an experienced guide, and in the safety of a group?

Laura Ericson Group Trips could well be worth a shout.

Todays episode receives two guests, Dee & Alicja.

Both are practicing interior designers who also run their own podcast ‘Tea Over Interiors: Your Weekly Dose of Wellness’ 

Based in New York & New Jersey, the focus of todays conversation is how to bring that vacation vibe back home. 

Often, we go on vacation because we need a sensory change, a break from our familiar surroundings and a chance to hit reset. Listen as some suggestions are made to personalise our living space and help us bring that fresh feeling back home, to make it a comfortable space we truly love.
