Episode 38: The Secrets to Long-Term Travel Abroad

Have you ever dreamed of putting everything in storage, packing a simple bag, and embarking on year-long adventure? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to travel and live life on your own terms for an extended period of time? Life (and travel) is all about the experiences we have and the memories we make. Often times we find ourselves holding back on our dream experiences because of our own fears. However, with a little preparation and a whole lot of passion, you can truly make anything happen for yourself. On today’s episode, we are going to chat with my friend Kayleigh, who has been traveling the world for the past year. Not only will you hear about her incredible journey but, she will share with you how she was able to make this dream, a reality and create an experience of a lifetime. Please remember to subscribe and give us a 5-star rating on the podcast platform you use to listen to! 

==About Kayleigh== Kayleigh is a teacher who got bit by the travel bug during a study abroad summer course. She went back to Europe to backpack with a friend after graduating and knew she wanted to spend a year abroad. A few years later and she is! Kayleigh and her husband Kyle have been to 12 countries since July, and have 2 more on their list before they return home. Kayleigh is passionate about travel, teaching, and sustainability and has figured out how to incorporate those passions into a year of a lifetime.

Episode 35: Unspoken Truths About Solo Travel

Episode 35: Unspoken Truths About Solo Travel

If I told you I didn’t cry during my first solo travel experience, I would be flat-out lying. The fact is, solo travel can be hard, overwhelming, and leave us wondering “what the hell did I do”. Regardless of how many hard moments I have faced during my solo travels, I would never change nor do I regret any of my experiences. Today's episode is not to turn you away from traveling solo however, I feel it is extremely important to be real and share the unspoken truths about solo travel. Basically, it's the sh*t no one talks about.

Episode 32: "Oh Crap" Moments When Traveling

Episode 32: "Oh Crap" Moments When Traveling

Shit happens to everyone. Whether at home or traveling the world, nothing will ever go perfectly (if it does you are a lucky one). However, it's less about what happens and more about how you react to it that can make or break your overall experience.  

In today's episode, I share the "oh crap" moments I have experienced while traveling. Hear about my experience with crazy cab drivers, losing my passport, and ripping my pants mid-excursion, 2 hours from my hotel (yes - that happened). From hilarious moments to some scary ones - I have gone through them all but, I NEVER let them ruin my time. You shouldn't either. 

Check out the episode about my crazy flight experience.

Episode 20: Going from Tourist to Traveler: Becoming Culturally Immersive

Episode 20: Going from Tourist to Traveler: Becoming Culturally Immersive

Oftentimes when people travel they focus only on seeing the top attractions or landmarks and they never really take time to dive into the culture of a location. This is the definition of a tourist. However, traveling in this way means that you are missing out on the true reason for traveling and that is to immerse yourself in other cultures. By becoming a true traveler you can learn, be inspired, and open your mind, eyes, and heart to everything and everyone else in the world.

Today, we are joined by cultural immersion coach and founder of The Wander Word, Jessica Lee. Jessica will share with us not only her journey into solo travel but how you can go from being a tourist to a traveler and become more culturally immersive.

=About Jess Lee=

Jess Lee is a native of Massachusetts, USA, and has been a traveler for over fifteen years. In 2020, Jess founded The Wander Word to be able to focus on her true travel passion to help others transform themselves from tourists to travelers, shifting the focus from prominent piazzas to understanding the cultural and historical context in order to better understand the destination and its people. Through one-on-one cultural immersion coaching, travel planning, and language courses, Jess prepares her clients to travel like they live there and to interact with locals in a positive way. Follow Jess on Instagram @TheWanderWord and check her site out at www.thewanderword.com.

Episode 24: How to maintain a healthy mind and body while traveling

Episode 24: How to maintain a healthy mind and body while traveling

Although traveling is one of the most amazing things you can do for yourself, it can take a toll on your mind and body. When traveling to unfamiliar destinations you may find yourself feeling a mix of emotions from fear to excitement. While on the road, it may be hard to keep up with your lifestyle of working out and eating healthy. And when trying to fit in all of the experiences, you may find yourself forgetting to hydrate, eat and take time for rest.

In today’s episode, we are joined by an international yoga teacher and the founder of the Wild Yoga Tribe, Lily Allen-Duenas. From teaching yoga classes and workshops in surf hostels in Sri Lanka, hotels in Bali, and wellness centers in the Philippines - Lily has found the balance of traveling the world while still keeping a healthy body and mindset. Now, she is building a community rich in diversity, curiosity, and heart-centered connection and will be sharing with us her experiences and how you can maintain a healthy body and mind while traveling.

Episode 13: How A Solo Trip To Peru Changed My Life

Episode 13: How A Solo Trip To Peru Changed My Life

For many years the idea of going on a solo trip to Peru and Machu Picchu was in my heart and on my mind. Finally, in September 2016 I booked a solo trip to Peru and Machu Picchu. I officially was going to spend 10 days in Peru including a 4-day trek to Machu Picchu with Contiki. My solo trip would be in September of 2017. I had a full year to prepare. The trail runs, stair steppers, and dieting became a way of life. After all, if I was going to push myself to what I thought would just be my physical limit – I was going to be prepared. However, little did I know, my preparation would be derailed and my life would completely fall apart.

Episode 12: The Creation of Solo Travel Woman

Episode 12: The Creation of Solo Travel Woman

Growing up, my father always told me to never wait for anyone when it came to following my dreams.

We didn’t travel much as a family when I was younger so, as I became an adult it was always something I dreamed of doing. However, I never had anyone to go with, and funding such trips proved to be quite difficult.

When I started my career in corporate events, I was thrilled to learn of all the opportunities it would give me to travel. What started off as just exploring other cities and states within the US eventually grew to me managing destination events in other countries. Finally, I had a reason to get my passport and travel. As much as this was amazing and I felt so blessed, I was missing out on the experience of traveling for fun and immersing myself in other cultures.

In today's episode, learn how I grew my passion for travel and what made me start Solo Travel Woman.
