A bit more about our guest:
A native of Zimbabwe, Sandy Salle was born and raised in southern Africa and was fortunate to travel to many places in the southern part of the continent. While she is now happily an American citizen, she does miss Africa—the smell of the first rains, the beautiful sunsets, and the magic of the people. Believing the next best thing to living in Africa is sharing it with others, in 2002, Sandy founded Hills of Africa travel. Sandy is Hills of Africa’s personal escort and takes great pride in giving her clients the once-in-a-lifetime, magical African experience they’ll remember forever.

Sometimes you just have to be willing to throw Political Correctness out the door. You have to not be afraid to offend your mother, brother, sister, or the neighbor next door. You've just got to say what you've got to say. And that pretty much sums up my conversation with none other than Mark Murphy himself!
 
 Mark Murphy is a well-known name in the travel industry. He is the founder of travAlliancemedia, the leading travel trade media company in the United States. He is a best-selling author with his two books: Travel Unscripted and Travel Forward. Plus Mark is a familiar face on major television networks and news stations including: The Today Show, CNN, FOX News, NBC, CBS, ABC, and The Travel Channel.
 
 I had the chance to catch up with Mark while he was vacationing in Colorado. Sitting outside of a Starbuck's Mark spoke openly about everything from his view on the state of travel in the midst of the Coronavirus to his dislike for face masks to even rehashing an old story of him sending me a shattered coffee mug.
 
 What makes this conversation with Mark Murphy so great, is the fact that the guy is absolutely hysterical! If you're game for a brutally honest conversation about life and travel, then go ahead and hit PLAY!

At a time when everyone is talking about social distancing I thought it made sense to talk to the people who have been social distancing before they even knew it was a thing. When you're on 550 Thousand acres in northern New Mexico the only thing you have to worry about coming too close to is a herd of bison!

I had a chance to sit down with Doug Lindauer, Vice President, Sales and Marketing with Ted Turner Reserves to learn all about Vermejo, their luxury guest ranch in New Mexico. If you're game for some exciting and interesting stories paired with a look at an incredible vacation opportunity for the entire family then this is the podcast for you!

Listen as Kevin takes a slightly different tone with this episode, sharing his story of life bringing him to his knees. Whether related to the Coronavirus or something completely different, chances are at some point in your life you have found yourself in the midst of some really hard times. And chances are, you were beaten down so badly that feelings of worry, overwhelm, even fear took hold of your life and not only impacted right then, but also your hopes and dreams for the future.

Kevin hopes by sharing his own story it may help you get through those hard times as well as helping you to not allow those negative feelings to take hold of your life.

Deciding now is as good of a time as ever I'm addressing the elephant in the room... How in the world am I a travel advisor when I can't see? Maybe it does seem a little unnerving to put your dream vacation in the hands of someone who is completely blind, but by the time this episode is over, don't be surprised if you're left thinking that maybe using a blind travel advisor is really the only way to go.
