"Travel is unlike anything else.""Travel is transformative.""Travel changes you for life." We've all heard the sayings, but do you actually know what that means? Have you had a deep and impactful experience where you've experienced this? It's actually pretty difficult to go beyond a surface level experience on a vacation, but it's not impossible if you know what to look out for (and plan for). If a little part of you is jealous of all of those people who have had those deep and rich travel experiences, you're going to love this conversation I had with wellness entrepreneur and digital nomad Chardet Ryel. We chat about things like how travel can help us connect with ourselves, how to have a "soul-searching" vacation with limited vacation time, and how to just have a deeper experience when you travel. We keep it practical and light (with lots of giggles), with the goal of encouraging you to get to know yourself and love yourself more deeply through travel.
