The Travelers
Today, I’m revisiting one of my favorite episodes of The Travelers, #183, an interview with Jonathan and Quinn Button from Life out of the Box, a company that takes the Tom’s shoes model — but instead of shoes, it’s local artiisanal crafts, such as bracelets and apparel, handmade by locals — and for each sale, a portion of the proceeds goes towards providing supplies to teachers in that very same local area. And I love this, not only because education is the most important cause, in my opinion, and so their mission is very close to my heart, but also that they literally followed...

Here's a short episode - a story about how Creativity, inspired by Travel, changed my life. And how it can open world's of possibility for you, as it has for all of the guests on this show.

Welcome to Episode 5 of The Travelers Season 3 where we’re exploring the 4 stages of Transformative Travel. Stage 2 is Curiosity, which is fundamental in the transformative process. In this episode we’re going to break down a conversation from episode 95 with Candace Rose Rardon, a travel artist and writer, whose journey is one of my absolute favorite examples of the potential for curiosity.

We’re going to explore the next stage in Holocene’s transformative experience framework: Curiosity. First, we’ll explore what Curiosity is, some of its benefits, and why it’s so important. Then in the next episode, we’ll explore a Curiosity-driven-life of travel, and then I’ll go into how to avoid the pitfalls of Curiosity and how to apply it to your life so that you can benefit in the same ways.

This episode is part 3 in a 12 part exploration of Transformational Travel. On this episode, we're talking about STORIES. Namely, how to begin to rewrite the story we tell ourselves, why it’s so important that we consider doing this for our mental health, and how travel can help us do that. If you're feeling trapped by any negative thoughts, limiting beliefs, self doubt or the doubt from others, then this is absolutely your episode.

info_outline"What's another place that's kind of a black hole in people's imagination? Does it stretch me a little? So I go there open endedly... I'm just relying on good luck and chance encounters." - Naomi Duguid, on finding her next travel and creative project.
