Curiosity, Culture & Connection: Molly Wimmer on the Deeper Meaning of Travel


Listen Later

#41: Welcome to Manifest Travel! I'm Brittany Braddock, and if you’re here, you’re someone who believes in the power of travel to transform, inspire, and deepen our connection to ourselves and the world around us.

This episode is one I know you’re going to love. My guest is Molly Wimmer, a profoundly insightful traveler with a deep curiosity about people and cultures. She’s the kind of person who doesn’t just visit places—she immerses herself, questions, reflects, and seeks meaning in every journey.

In our conversation, we explore the idea of pilgrimage as a form of travel—how it can be a tool for personal growth, self-connection, and even a means of rediscovering what truly matters. Molly also shares some of her favorite quotes about travel and life, and we dive into the importance of prioritizing your internal experience.


Please remember to follow and leave a review so that I can continue sharing these amazing conversations and reach out to me directly if you'd like to be a future guest- [email protected]
