Chasing Happiness
This is probably one of the hardest podcasts that I have ever had to post. The podcast is going to take the next six months off, as I take the next six months off from my business and everything that I have created with Chasing Happiness. I will explain this a little bit better in the blog post for next week but there will be no new podcasts from now until the new year while I take some much-needed time for myself to reset and refocus.

How do we live our lives well when we often face things out of our control?

info_outlineTravel has a way of opening us all up to new ideas, new cultures and new versions of ourselves. Those are just a few of the reasons why April Bielefeldt decided to create a life that involved travel. As a travel expert, travel photographer and woman on a mission to help teach people creative ways to travel, April has all kinds of tips, tricks and suggestions for anyone who wants to get started but may be unsure how to do so.
This isn't the path she thought she would end up on, but as she discussed with me this week, sometimes life leads us to the things we are meant to do. She shares exactly how she ended up focused on travel and why she views it as such a life-changing experience for people.
She shares how being creative about travel can not only save you money but help you to truly experience a new place in a way that helps you connect to local people as well as those who are also travelling like you. April is building a community of like-minded travellers who can support each other, answer questions for those who are new to travel and create a supportive environment that encourages curiosity.
