If you haven't, it's time to get out there! Let's get inspired to explore and see what else this magical, beautiful world has in store for us.

    Episode 5: Post Traumatic Growth through Travel with Laura

    Giving is good medicine. To donate to earthquake relief in Turkey and Syria, here are a few reputable charities and organizations to consider: Plan International Inc. (Syria) Center for Disaster Philanthropy (Turkey + Syria) Direct Relief (Turkey + Syria) ---- If you’re looking for a unique and life changing group travel tour, look no further… My guest today, Laura Ericson, owns a group travel tour company where she takes people on “off the beaten path” experiences. She started traveling as a child, but it wasn’t until she got divorced at age 34 that she really put her focus into traveling and made it a priority. Her business was started in 2021 out of the need for travel buddies. She couldn’t find anyone to travel with and people were always warning her not to travel to “dangerous” places alone. So whala! She created her own group travel business. Her goal is to make sure people have access to less popular countries like Colombia and Turkey, which have become some of her favorite countries and are often overlooked. Since she started her business just over a year ago, she has taken people on 5 group trips to 4 countries and is adding several new trip locations in 2023 (Morocco, Arizona, Colombia, Mexico City, and Cuba). In this episode we go into a lot of my favorite topics like over-tourism, dark tourism, post traumatic growth, and how sometimes the universe will throw something negative your way so you can build something positive. Please enjoy and go check out all that Laura and her business has to offer!

    Episode 3: Dare to Travel Solo with Katherine

    "Do something that’s a little uncomfortable and trust your gut." Wise words from my guest today, Katherine Leamy. Katherine is The 5 Kilo Traveller. Her mission is to help people travel lighter, stop struggling with heavy and overpacked luggage, and enjoy the liberating freedom of carry-on travel. Her personal travelling light journey started on her solo trip to Europe in 2017 which we talk about on this episode.  She realised she had to manage her own bag all by herself - and that is how the desire to travel lighter all began. The trip turned out to be life changing and living a lighter life has now become her philosophy. She loves sharing her passion for all things light and she's even written a travel memoir!  Her memoir, "Dare to Travel Solo: Exploring Croatia and Italy with a light carry-on bag a tone of determination" comes out March 2023! You can get it on Amazon as an e-book once it's released (more details in the episode).  Stay connected to Katherine on all the platforms: IG: https://www.instagram.com/the5kilotraveller/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/the5kilotraveller Website: https://www.the5kilotraveller.com/ Mentions in episode: Waitomo caves - glowworm caves in New Zealand Merino clothing Vivo Barefoot shoes Tai Chi Books mentioned: Goodbye Sarajevo by Atka Reid and Hana Schofield Grandma Gatewood's Walk by Ben Montgomery Solo Travel in a Relationship by Jenny Mowbray ---------- Connect with me on: Instagram: @coach_tricia_ Newsletter: Join HERE If you liked this episode, please rate and review it, and share with your friends and family!
