What if the bravest thing you ever did wasn’t getting on a plane — but stepping onto a dance floor?

In this episode of Design Her Travel, host Kim Anderson sits down with Jen Todling, a traveler, dancer, and memoirist who quite literally danced her way around the world and, in doing so, found her way back to herself.

At 30, Jen made a bold choice: to combine intentional travel with her love of dance. From the elegant Viennese waltz in Austria to the soulful samba in Brazil and the intimate tango in Argentina, she used movement as a way to heal, connect, and transform. Her global dance journey inspired her new memoir, Dancing on My Own Two Feet.

If you’ve ever dreamed of dancing your way through different cultures, living more creatively, or stepping into a more courageous version of yourself, this conversation will spark something deep inside you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How dancing around the world can deepen your connection to culture, community, and self
• What it really looks like to face your fears and move toward transformation, one step at a time
• How to start adding creative practices like dance to your travels, even if you’ve never taken a class before

This one’s for the travelers, the creatives, the late bloomers, and the dream-chasers. Hit play and find out what happens when you stop waiting and start dancing.
