Good insight on sustainable travel. I also think flashlights are aways good to bring. :)
This podcast is amazing! I am so glad I discovered it! The episode with the author of Beyond Guilt Trips was fantastic. It really got me excited about travel again.
Christine and her guests are such inspiring people to communicate the benefits of travel and its positive impact to the world.
This podcast is very different to what I’m usually listening to!! I love traveling and so I love listening to these episodes. Highly recommended! :)
As a mom, I’m limited on my ability to travel these days. Listening to this podcast has reminded me about the importance of traveling to my spirit. Thank you for such a reviving resource!
I really enjoy the fresh perspective of this show The conversations are always interesting . This is a much needed show, the topics are right on point. Thank you so much for the great work you are doing !!
I agree 100% that working women differently need to travel.
I listened to the most recent episode of the Soul of Travel with guest Komal Darira and I am hooked. I listen to many podcasts. But this one covers topics that are important to me. We about social and culture issues, about eco-friendly ways of traveling, traveling safely as women and so much more. I plan on listening as much as I can.
Loved the episode with Alice Ford. Nothing beats empowered women. Make it empowered women who travel solo and have grand adventures and I’m sold! Very thoughtful and interesting podcast, I highly recommend!
This is such a great podcast and well worth a listen.
As a fellow adventure traveler, and frequently a solo woman traveler, I find this podcast so helpful. Thank you!
Bookmarked this immediately. As a woman who travels solo quite a bit, the logistics and safety concerns can feel overwhelming without the right insights. Thanks for giving us the tools to travel empowered and knowledgeable.
Christine…Love your episode featuring Ellenore Angelides. As an educator, I appreciated the “read literature from your culture/place!” My library in my classroom always looked like my students. I feel so validated! Great podcast!
So lighthearted and fun to listen too. I love all the guests she has on and makes me feel inspired to get out in the world and see it! Bri
What a breath of fresh air! Travel is so important to open ourselves up to the Magic is that available to us worldwide! I love this
