Girl about the Globe

Welcome to episode 40 of our Girl about the Globe podcast where I’m continuing our series of making a difference when you travel. This week, I share an interview with Ginger Kern, a coach, TedX speaker, and the curator of Global Shapers Boulder Hub.

Realising that only 38% of Americans had a passport, Ginger set up a non-profit to change that statistic. Ginger shares her experience of living in another country, the inner exploration that you can only get from travelling abroad, and shows that you don’t have to be travelling to make a difference. This interview was originally recorded four years when I lived in Colombia, but there are so many empowerment messages and ways to make a difference in our discussion, that I felt it was the perfect time to share it again. I hope you enjoy it.

Welcome to our second series of our Girl about the Globe podcast, and episode 38, where I’m continuing our series of making a difference when you travel. This week, I share an interview with Jan Edwards, founder and CEO of Paving the Way, an organisation committed to being a fierce disruption in the cycle of child trafficking around the globe.

Welcome to podcast episode 37, where I’m continuing our theme for our second series of making a difference when you travel. This week, I share an interview with Hollie Carr, an author, TEDx speaker, and fellow solo traveller.

This insightful interview covers so many layers of making a difference. Hollie shares how a solo trip to China to teach English inspired her to write a book that would go on to inspire others, how she left a corporate career to follow her happiness and make a difference, how volunteering in Asia opened her eyes, how she started a foundation to help others to make a difference and the simple things we can do to make a difference in other people’s lives. You don’t need to be travelling to do it either. No matter where you are on your solo journey, this interview is one to make you contemplate about the next stage of your life.
