    #42: Welcome back toManifest Travel, the podcast where we explore the transformative power of intentional travel and designing a life that aligns with your biggest dreams. I’mBrittany Braddock, and if you’ve ever felt like travel should be more than just checking destinations off a list—more about growth, perspective shifts, and true adventure—then you’re in the right place. In this episode, I’m joined byConor Walsh, a lifelong explorer originally from a small town in Ireland. Conor has been traveling the world since 2011, visiting over 40 countries and spending the last several years based in Africa. In this episode, we dive into how travel has evolved over the past 15 years, from the rise of technology and content creation making travel more accessible yet, in some ways, less spontaneous, to the impact of overtourism and how to move through the world in a more intentional, thoughtful way. We also get personal—talking about using travel as a coping mechanism, the hard truth that you can’t outrun your shadows, and the courage it takes to be still and confront the challenges you’ve been avoiding. Plus, we discuss sober living, how sobriety has completely reshaped both of our travel experiences, and what it means to experience the world with clarity and presence. So, if you’re looking for raw, honest insights on how to make travel meaningful, sustainable, and deeply fulfilling, you're going to love this episode!
