The Travel Transformation Podcast: Self-development & personal growth tips for travel lovers & adventure seekers Jessica Grace Coleman

In this episode, I talk to Sue Almonte, online business manager turned course creator and solo travel advocate.
A couple of years ago, Sue went on an epic solo trip to Europe for three months, travelling through several countries and attending as many music concerts as possible. So, we talk about the pros and cons of solo travel, how to stay safe when travelling alone, the differences in culture and concerts in terms of Europe vs the US, reverse culture shock, and much, much more!

In this episode, I talk to Melissa B. Lombardo, author, speaker, and founder of Write Heal Thrive LLC.
Melissa is a well-travelled Connecticut native who lived in Central America for two decades. She is a Bilingual Certified Sexual Assault Crisis Advocate and knows first-hand the silence surrounding the topic of sexual violence. It was through the support of friends and family that she navigated the path of vulnerability to begin speaking out and supporting the healing of those who have faced their own trauma. She now advocates for others as they begin to heal and thrive to become their best version. As a naturally inquisitive person, Melissa credits her love of writing as the reason she was able to find her voice and thrive beyond trauma.
Melissa is the founder of Write, Heal, Thrive, which offers holistic conscious individuals the opportunity to continue their healing journey, support a supporter, and offer guidance to individuals as they find their path to healing, thriving, and well-being via books and other publications.
In the interview, we discuss Melissa’s time spent in Nicaragua, the reverse culture shock she had when coming back to the States, how she used writing and publishing to help her heal from trauma, and how she’s helping Nicaraguan artists and artisans through her Etsy shops – plus much more!

In this solo episode, I talk about the Art of Making Memories (thanks to Meik Wiking’s book of the same name). I discuss how we can do this with long-term travel, weekend trips and day trips, and at home – as well as how we can make sure we remember these amazing experiences for the rest of our lives!

Jay is an American living in Paris, and he is passionate about sharing his Paris journey and travel tips, helping others enjoy the city he has fallen in love with, through social media and Patreon.
His YouTube channel has 81k+ subscribers and offers helpful, uncommon advice for Paris travellers. He produced a daily vlog for 3+ years, totalling nearly 1,200 videos – and counting. On Instagram, he has been posting exciting photos of Paris and beyond for 11+ years.
In this episode, we discuss Jay’s unique quest to move to Paris – including turning up with a visa no one even knew existed – his recommendations for places to visit that are off the beaten-path, how to do Paris on a bit of a budget, moving to France as a digital nomad, and all kinds of Paris-related tips and treats. If you’re going to Paris, this is the guy you need to follow online!
