Faced with the decision - Do I stay or do I go home, Lacey McLaughlin chose to stay. Living in Mexico during the height of COVID-19 Lacey would soon discover that choosing to ride out the worldwide pandemic from the beachside town of Playa del Carmen would be the best decision she could have ever made. There was not wide-spread panic nor a shortage of toilet paper, but rather plenty of tacos and beautiful beaches.

Lacey McLaughlin is a digital nomad, choosing to operate her writing and brand strategy business from anywhere with a good internet connection and a beautiful view. Her love for traveling was spurred at a young age, traveling to places like Africa and South America with her youth group. But on her 30th birthday, Lacey would find herself hiking Peru's Machu Picchu with a small group of complete strangers. This grueling yet somehow empowering experience set fire to something inside of her.

I had the pleasure to catch up with Lacey while she was still living in Playa del Carmen, Mexico where she spoke about what life had been like during the height of COVID-19. She also spoke openly about her passion for experiencing the world's cultures. Come along as I have a wonderful conversation about life and travel with Lacey McLaughlin!

*The book Lacey mentioned is, Travel as a Political Act by Rick Steves.

I was 17 years old when I awoke from surgery to find that I was left completely blind. No shapes nor shadows, no light, no color, just blackness.
One would have thought that my life was over. Everything I ever enjoyed was to be no more. Every dream or hope for the future was taken away. Everything in my life was taken from me, except for 2 things. My Faith and my family.

On the day of this episode's release Kevin is celebrating the 17th anniversary of the day his life was forever changed. But as you listen you will realize that this episode isn't about Kevin, it's made to be about you.
Kevin knows that what happened to him was for a reason, a good reason, a monumental reason. And therefor he shares his story in hopes that it will help someone else going through difficult times in their own life.

Just like the various condiments take a hamburger from boring to awesome, the same is said for your next cruise! No, we're not talking about ketchup and mustard! We are talking about Specialty Restaurants and Shore Excursions!

Today's episode is all about enhancing your overall cruise experience with the addition of a night or two spent dining in one of your cruise ship's specialty restaurants and reserving your place on an unforgettable shore excursion. But it wasn't good enough for me to just tell you about them, I wanted to really show you just how meaningful these 2 additions are.

Come along as I take you inside Carnival Cruise Line's Fahrenheit Steakhouse where I dined with my all-time favorite client on a 7-night Caribbean cruise. Get ready to walk with me through the Puerto Rico Rainforest during what would be the best shore excursion of my life! And as always, be inspired to step outside and start living and enjoying life like it was meant to be!

Prepare to cruise like you have never cruised before! I'm going to show you what it's like to go on a cruise from my point of view - From the view of someone who is completely blind!

Today's episode is the 4th in our 5 part series on All Things Cruising. And I've decided to try my best at showing you what the experience is like when you can't see. People often ask me, "Why would you go on a cruise when you can't see?" And as crazy as this question may sound, people just don't know what they don't know.

My hope is that this episode will help to open their eyes to just how much there is to life, to the world, and in this situation cruising than just what the eye can see.

Receive a Backstage Pass to a part of the world few will ever see. It's the world as it should be... Raw and untamed, beautiful and luxurious. UnCruise Adventures has found a way to break away from the masses and tap into the World like no other.

UnCruise Adventures excels in the realm of small ship adventure cruising. With a passenger capacity well under 100 people on their largest ship and itineraries that have you face-to-face with wildlife instead of people it's as if Uncruise was social distancing before it was even a thing.

UnCruise Adventures has found a way to expertly pair a sense of adventure with a desire for luxury indulgences. They have also made a way for people of all ages and abilities to get off the ship and to step into the world like they have never experienced before.

Come along as I explore the world from the perspective of UnCruise Adventures! A Special thank you goes out to Julie Quarry, Business Development Director, Strategic Accounts with UnCruise Adventures for being my guest in today's episode.

Hot off of a trip to Cancun, Mexico Mark Murphy talks openly about his experience traveling. From a delayed flight due to a couple of non-compliant mask wearing passengers to the cleanest he's ever seen the Cancun airport to absolutely pristine resorts Mark urges people to stop listening to the fear driven media and get back traveling again!

This would be mark Murphy's second time appearing on the podcast and based on the wealth of information the guy possesses and his take no prisoners approach to talking about current affairs I don't expect this to be the last time either. Mark is the founder of travAlliancemedia, the leading travel trade media company in the United States. But even after selling the company Mark continues to be the go-to source for "what's happening in the world of travel" as he is a familiar face on major TV networks like FOX News, CNN, The Today Show, ABC, CBS, and of course now, The Lowe Down on Life and Travel!

This is what would lead to the creation of her company, Market Your Thing, where she helps travel agents create thriving recession-proof businesses.
