Why & How Travel Promotes Personal Growth: Interview with Authority Magazine

Today I am excited to kick off 2023 and share with you a recent interview I did with Authority Magazine‘s Maria Angelova. I share my thoughts regarding why and how travel promotes personal growth, and share some stories along the way. I am thrilled and honored to be featured in this interview series focused around being a better human being.

In the interview I discuss 5 habits you should develop to make travel an opportunity for personal growth, including:

  1. Try Different Types of Travel
  2. Travel with other people, or solo
  3. Try different travel destinations
  4. Plan something that makes you uncomfortable
  5. Talk with locals

I also discuss my favorite life lesson quote, which relates well to our post on bold moves. You will even find some personal travel stories requiring unique problem solving. One of the scariest situations was the time we were caught in a rip current, during our honeymoon, in St. Lucia!

Happy to be back on the beach looking at the Pitons after we survived a rip current.

I hope you’ll check out the conversation, and share it with someone who you think will enjoy it.
