On this week’s episode of Apostrophe Soul Radio, my dear friend and business partner Mary interviewed me about my experiences as a traveler, adventure-seeker, artist, and writer. And we had a blast with this conversation! Any time I have an opportunity to openly share my love for travel, my soul lights up. Her wonderful guidance, insightful questions, and genuine interest made this interview an absolute joy of an experience.
Speaking to this love of travel led me to reflect back to where it all began—and I realized that we plant the seeds of our next adventure through the act of dreaming everyday. A desire to travel allows our imaginations to be free, wild, and limitless. In sharing my experiences with Mary, I vividly recalled the earliest origins of my passion for exploring the world. I remembered scanning the compact shelves of the public library for every travel guide I could find. I remembered squinting through the dusty light streaming from the window above, and allowing my wanderlust to take over as I scanned page after page. I remembered the powerful, immersive, defiant feeling of allowing my heart to guide me, and the confines of the immediate dissolving as I breathed deeper and felt truly alive. This sensation of awakening from within and being truly present has echoed throughout every experience I’ve had of stepping into a new place. By allowing myself to dream big, I learned to truly embrace all possibilities, and engage my soul in the process.
It is my hope that our conversation will inspire you, and encourage you to create your next adventure—however near or far.
