Or your favorite travel podcaster won’t stop raving about (oh hey it’s me + Scotland).

On this episode, I’m sharing a simple, practical test to help you figure out whether a destination is truly the right fit for you. Using this approach can help you avoid trips that feel just...

In this episode, we explore how your personality — including your Enneagram type — influences the way you plan. I’ll break down some of the key reasons we plan and the fears that arise when certain pieces of our travel experience are left unresolved. By the end of this conversation, my...
