My guest is Jim West, founder of Craftours, a company that has taken travelers across the globe in search of inspiration, artistry, and unforgettable experiences.

From creative retreats to immersive cultural journeys, Jim has built something far beyond a travel company—it’s a gateway into the stories, people, and places that shape how we see the world. He’s also the man behind my personal Sound of Music tours… which means, of course, there are a few stories you won’t want to miss.

In this episode, we talk about how it all began—and the moments that stay with you long after the trip ends. Jim shares the heart behind his tours, memorable moments from the road, and his best travel wisdom for making the most of any journey, anywhere in the world.
