In this episode of Soul of Travel, Season 6: Women's Wisdom + Mindful Travel, presented by @journeywoman_original, Christine hosts a soulful conversation with Judy Carvalhal.

Judy Carvalhal is the Founder and CEO of Enchanted Expeditions, a company that helped to pioneer the modern tourist industry in the Galapagos Islands & Ecuador. She grew up in Guyana & French Guiana, and was educated at Canada’s prestigious Queen’s University before travelling to South America to become one of the first female park naturalists in Galapagos. Judy uses her knowledge of Ecuador & Galapagos to curate one-of-a-kind itineraries, ensuring that Enchanted Expedition’s guests learn about the history, culture & eco-systems that make this part of South America such an incredible place to visit. After raising four children in Galapagos and Ecuador, Judy is more passionate than ever to ensure that this precious part of the world is protected.

Christine and Judy discuss:

· Judy's global journey and her evolving concept of home
· Pioneering women in adventure tourism 
· The evolution of Galapagos tourism
· Developing a love of travel with family
· Self-care and the power of an attitude of continuous learning
