Bougie in a Backpack

Ep. 77: Traveling Like a Local in Europe with Renee (@the.holidaymaker)


Listen Later

Today we are chatting with Renee ⁠(⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@the.holidaymaker)⁠ who was a speaker at our summit in May talking about How to Travel to Paris Like a Local. Renee is a travel blogger and the co-partner of Dream Retreats Europe. She started her travel blog as a side hustle and eventually turned it into a full-time career. In this episode, she talks about the importance of slow travel and finding a balance between exploring and taking time to relax. She shares her passion for wellness and how it is incorporated into her travel experiences, including the upcoming wellness retreats she hosts in Europe. In this episode, you will learn:

  • Returning to a place multiple times allows for a deeper understanding and connection with the local culture.
  • Slow travel is about savoring every detail and exploring a destination at a relaxed pace.
  • Exploring different neighborhoods and seeking recommendations from locals can lead to more authentic experiences.
  • Cities like Lisbon and Berlin are affordable and expat-friendly, making them attractive options for digital nomads and retirees. Learning a second language can enhance travel experiences and make communication easier.
    • Slow travel allows for a more immersive and relaxing travel experience.
    • Incorporating wellness activities into travel can enhance overall well-being.
    • Pre-booking activities and attractions can help avoid long lines and sold-out experiences.
      • Finding a balance between exploring and relaxation is important for a fulfilling travel experience.
      • ...and more!
