My first-time traveling alone was for a summer study abroad in Paris. That experience provided me freedom from the familiar and I found my strengths, weaknesses, and allowed me to explore my true passions and personality.

Travel is powerful. It provides new surroundings to discover more about yourself and others. 

That experience had led me to my current role as the business development manager for luxury resorts such as Zoetry, Secrets, Dreams, Now and Sunscape.

Let's find out why sometimes being alone is necessary to discover our true self while learning more about the resorts I managed. 

Checkout our Camps at Sea YouTube channel for more travel and inspirational videos including my latest travel to the resorts she mentioned in the podcast.
