This episode is a little different from previous episodes! Today, I’m sharing some of my personal stories and how my travel inspiration and experiences have evolved over the years.

If you're wondering how to balance seeing the popular sights with getting off the beaten path, you'll enjoy this episode. 

I talk about my journey from being starstruck by Germany’s bucket-list landmarks to discovering the joy of wandering off the beaten path - even when it doesn’t turn out the way I’d envisioned. 

I also share suggestions and tips for finding balance on your own trip and the most important element of any meaningful and memorable trip.
