  • Awakening in India

    Do you know how people often travel to India to connect with their spirituality?

    ⁠Going to ashrams or for yoga retreats to find themselves?⁠⁠
    ⁠⁠
    Well, that was NOT the case for our Travel Coach guest, Jessica Drucker
    ⁠⁠
    In her early 30's, Jessica and her partner decided to backpack around the world, and that included 6 weeks in India.⁠⁠
    ⁠⁠
    But, considering herself a skeptical person at that time, she would have never expected 'awakening' with such an intense "kick in the ass" ⁠⁠
    ⁠⁠
    That experience in India, unraveled a chain of events that changed the course of her life. ⁠⁠
    ⁠⁠
    Today Jessica is a four-time expat, former digital nomad and destination expert.⁠⁠
    ⁠⁠
    She is the author of "How to Move Abroad and Why it's the Best Thing you'll do" who hosts and produces the podcast "Adventure Calls"⁠⁠
    ⁠⁠
    Join us today onboard The Travel Coach to hear Jessica's incredible story, which includes a cow and an ambulance ⁠⁠

  • Empowered beyond all borders

    Have you ever traveled to a place where you felt like home - despite being your first time there?⁠⁠

    ⁠⁠
    There is something in the air, the vibe, the people, the food, the culture... that grabs you. You feel like you belong there.⁠⁠
    ⁠⁠
    This is what Lenka Matthews felt the first time she visited Spain.
    ⁠⁠
    And that feeling ended up triggering the desire to fulfil one of her dreams - not only for herself but for many others.⁠⁠
    ⁠⁠
    Who would have told her that she would be in this position when she was a 23 years old young lady without either international experience or language skills doubting about leaving Czech Republic and moving to the UK? ⁠⁠
    ⁠⁠

  • Trust the unknown

    Imagine you are a 25 years old Australian school teacher in the early 1990's who, after 4 years working at the same school, feels they desire to play a bigger game.

    You feel a call to adventure, but you don't know how this may be for you.

    And then, out of the blue, you receive a phone call from a stranger who offers you an opportunity to teach in Tanzania. What would you answer?

    This is how the story of our next speaker Natalie Croome starts, and I bet you too will feel goosebumps when hearing all the ups & downs and the synchronicities that unfolded for her along the way.

  • Pay it forward

    If you've ever seen the movie "Pay it forward" you'll surely remember Trevor McKinney's goodwill movement to change the World.⁠⁠

    ⁠⁠
    I love that movie! And this is what came to my mind when Julie Wren was delighting me with her transformational travel stories.⁠⁠
    ⁠⁠
    In her early 20's, Julie moved from the UK to Brussels for work, without knowing the impact that her new colleague and flatmate would have on her life.⁠⁠
    ⁠⁠
    Inspired by his generosity, Julie started to use her travels to contribute and help others using the pay it forward philosophy ⁠⁠
    ⁠⁠
    Getting the travel bug at an early age, Julie has spent more than 30 years working, living and travelling abroad, having lots of adventures and touching the lives of many people around the globe.⁠⁠
    ⁠⁠
    If you feel this is inspiring, wait to hear from this lady herself TODAY onboard The Travel Coach ⁠⁠today
    ⁠⁠
    Because it's not only about travel, it's about the people you can positively impact on each of your trips ⁠⁠

  • Identity, belonging & home

    When you are a hybrid of two countries you have a mix feeling. You belong to both cultures, but you belong to none at the same time.⁠⁠⁠

    ⁠⁠⁠Being half American and half Italian, Olivia Anthony knows very well this feeling.


    ⁠⁠⁠With a background as an opera singer, Olivia grew up in New York but she moved to Europe at the age of 25. ⁠⁠⁠

    ⁠⁠⁠She felt a special connection with Tuscany and she never looked back. ⁠⁠⁠

    ⁠⁠⁠She met her Italian husband, they had a kid and travel around the world together  ⁠⁠⁠

    ⁠⁠⁠On her own words: “The journey is not only about the destination but how your experiences at the destination changes your perspective of home”⁠⁠⁠

    ⁠⁠⁠Olivia is now a strategist, coordinator, and liaison in luxury travel with +20 years experience helping people live an authentic cultural immersion in Tuscany. ⁠⁠⁠

    ⁠⁠⁠Join us onboard The Travel Coach TODAY to get inspired by Olivia's life and travel experiences ⁠

  • Reconnect with your body to make the most of your travel

    Have you ever noticed that you are more present in your body when traveling? ⛰️

    When you change your surroundings and you break your routine ⏱️ you are not in 'auto-pilot' anymore.

    Your focus is on the new landscapes, the new buildings, the new people… you are HERE and NOW 🧘‍♀️

    But can you really keep this 'zen state' long term upon return?

    Melissa Manson is a transformational coach, movement and voice expert, onboard The Travel Coach this week 🎙️

    Since her parents were musicians, she's been familiar with travel since her childhood -which also gave her the chance to meet some famous people backstage too 😉

    Moreover, she later became a professional dancer on tour all over the world, knowing first hand who travel can really create long-lasting changes in people’s lives.

    Join the Travel Coach today to discover the best tips to keep the openness once we are back home from a trip.

  • We are travel superheroes

    I was truly amazed by the story of my guest today, Eric Hrubant, the Founder & CEO of CIRE Travel.

    At just 43 years of age, Eric now runs a multi-million dollar business. But his beginnings were not quite so easy.

    Eric grew up in Queens in New York City. As the son of a single mum who worked full time, Eric was a latch-key kid. While he studied at night, to become a social worker, Eric had to find a day job to pay the bills. This is how, back in 1997, travel entered Eric’s life.

    He worked his way up from entry-level at a travel agency to second in command. Fast forward 15 years and he bought the agency from the retiring owner and re-branded it as CIRE (Eric backwards; a hat-tip to Oprah’s company, Harpo).

    Eric now uses his social work skills to take the stress out of the travel process – making travel easier and more enjoyable for his clients. CIRE Travel is a concierge-style travel agency specialising in luxury vacations and business trips. Across their four offices, CIRE Travel has grown to deliver almost $20m worth of corporate, leisure and group travel to their client base.

    Join me on The Travel Coach today as we benefit from the remarkable success story and wisdom of this 20+ year travel industry veteran.

  • From traveling to escape to unleashing the power of travel

    Have you ever traveled to escape from your problems?

    Kaley knows that feeling very well.

    At the age of 12 years old, she first experienced the relief that came with traveling abroad. And, that became her way to approach life.

    Until the point she became a flight attendant.

    After 16 years in the airline industry, she’s traveled and experience so many places around the world.

    But her challenges were always waiting at home for her return. And that didn’t feel good.

    A few years ago, Kaley suffered a breakdown and it was then when she realised she had to stop traveling to escape, and start travelling to enjoy life.

    Now, Kaley is a life coach helping women with childhood & generational trauma to heal and create the life they desire.

    In her own words: “Travel was an important part of my own healing and growth journey in so many ways”

    If Kaley’s story talks to you, I invite you to this new episode of The Travel Coach.

    Enjoy!
