When planning to travel we all want to see it all, but we don’t all have unlimited time and money to do so.  When it comes to Tasmania, there is so much to see and do, but you can do it in a short period of time.

In this weeks episode I dive into our 2 month trip in Tassie and talk about three of our stand out places.  Tasmania is the smallest state of Australia. It is made up of 19 national parks (which cover approximately 40% of the whole state), over 1500 beaches, 160 wine producers, little towns and a lot of wildlife.

We have done close to 3000kms while being here and still haven’t seen it all.

Tune in to hear where I recommend for your trip to Tasmania.

I also offer up some thoughts about connecting with others and being present.

If you would like to get notified as soon as the Chasin Travels episodes are released make sure you hit ‘subscribe’ or ‘follow’.  If you haven’t reviewed this podcast I would love to know what you thought and this helps me grow and share more about our big, wide, beautiful world.

This episode I dive into how travel allows you  to get out of your comfort zone.  I talk about what we can learn and how we can grow when we get uncomfortable and why that is so important in our life.

Fear holds many people back from doing and experiencing extraordinary moments in this life and seeing amazing things on this planet. And this fear is learnt.

This episode will make you think about what your comfort zone is and how to get out of it. It’ll also get you thinking about where you want your next adventure to be.

Chris is the founder of ‘Travel Fit’, host of the ‘In progress’ podcast and facilitator of retreats on the sunny shores of Queensland.

He is on a mission to host global events that support people to live their best lives by getting them to connect to their mind, body and soul.

And he also has travel and the environment at the heart of his mission.

We talk about how he moved from a small country town of Orange in New South Wales, Australia to the big smoke of London!

It was his travels that made him realise that he can do and be anything he wants in the world.  Chris knew that he wanted to have a healthy mind, body and soul and he wanted to help others have the same.  Fast forward to today his mission is clear and you can join him on one of his many ventures with the Travel Fit Tribe.

One of Chris’ favourite quotes is from Joe Rogan - “If you want to change your life you have to become the main actor in your own movie”
