  • The first rule of aviation

    Are you interested in flying or getting a pilot license? Well, you need to listen this episode with Erika Cole Gilette.⁠⁠

    ⁠⁠She’s always enjoyed the journey, the moment in between the departure and the destination. She met lots of pilots and saw that they think differently than the rest of the population: their mindsets and approaches to travel is so different. Then, she realized that she wanted to become a pilot because she wanted to think the same way they think, to have their mindset! She started her first class 4 years ago and she recently got her license.

    ⁠⁠She admires how a person can put their life on risk by teaching other people how to fly. It takes courage. Flying teaches you to be prepare, to handle any situation, to be comfortable with the unexpected. Learning how to be a pilot is a life-long journey and a big transition like travelling!

    ⁠⁠She would like to encourage more women to become a pilot. If your dream is to be in the air, it’s a great dream!⁠⁠

    ⁠⁠She owns a Youtube channel called “SweetRickey” where all her flying videos are uploaded.⁠⁠

    She also founded Rockstar Academics to give students and families a saner approach to choosing a good college match. She coaches students, entrepreneurs, writers, and jobseekers to design and lead extraordinary lives they love.  She’s a sailplane pilot. She’s an adventurer.

  • New Beginnings

    A very adventurous person was onboard at this The Travel Coach episode. Meet with Anne Robley; an artist, stylist, and of course a travel lover!

    ⁠⁠
    In her mid-20s, a friend of hers convinced Anne to go on a crazy adventure in Europe. They went 1 month backpacking to Portugal, France, Spain, and Holland with a very little budget and not language but English and met unbelievable people! ⁠⁠
    ⁠⁠
    She says she learned how to be resourceful, more open and adventurous. This was before smartphones, Internet… totally old school way. ⁠⁠
    ⁠⁠
    Then, she realized that “There is more to live” for her. Travelling is a good way to broaden our horizons and see the possibilities of life.
    ⁠⁠
    She went back to her country (Canada), quit her job, sold her car and moved to Australia. After a 3-month Australia adventure, she moved to Switzerland. Nobody knew her in this new country, and she could be whoever she wanted to be. People around her had no expectations and she felt free to start brand new life there. I usually hear this: In a place where there are no prejudices because no one knows you, people are much more comfortable and can behave like themselves more!⁠⁠
    ⁠⁠
    After 19 years Anne is still in Switzerland and started her business in home styling and Christmas decoration.
    ⁠⁠
    Listen to this episode and get inspired by Anne’s life and travel experiences.⁠

  • The art of travel

    When Kathy Eichhorn was introduced for the first time to History of Arts, she quickly realised the best things are in European museums.  

    Back then, she was living in California and feeling slowly consumed by the fast-paced rhythm of life.   

    In her early 20's, she had never been in Europe before, but she felt this inner desire to see all that beauty with her own eyes.  

    A friend of hers told her that she will join her on that trip, and that was all that Kathleen needed to know: She sold her car  and she quit her job.

    The day before the trip, that friend called her to say that she could not join her eventually. 

    Kathleen was heart broken, but she decided to go ahead with the trip alone  

    Join us on today onboard The Travel Coach to hear the incredible stories that Kathleen experienced -and the challenges she overcome- during her 90 days around Europe.

  • Black Heritage Tourism

    When you travel with the intention to connect with your history, your ancestors, your roots... you come to know and understand yourself. ⁠⁠

    ⁠⁠
    When you are there, in those places that made you, you learn what you can't learn in books, you see people you've never met and yet you have a sense that you know them, you know their stories, you feel the vibration of the place, you feel you are travelling in time. ⁠⁠
    ⁠⁠
    If this speaks to you, join us onboard The Travel Coach this Tuesday at 7pm BST as we speak with Julia Browne, pioneer of Black heritage tourism in France. ⁠⁠
    ⁠⁠
    As a founder of the heritage education company Walking The Spirit Tours - Black Paris & Beyond, her Afrocentric tours and customised itineraries have introduced countless travellers, students, and educators to the incredibly rich, yet lesser known, influence of Black history and culture in Europe, the UK, USA, and Canada. ⁠⁠⁠
