Don't appreciate my occasionally audacious voice? But still want to learn more about travel from an unorthodox source?🙃🤙 You're in luck! 🍀 There exists a much humbler and kinder version called The Love Trip, created by Grace Carey. 🌞🛫 In this episode of THE NOMAD THEORY, Grace and I compare our travel philosophies and share our favorite tips for anyone considering a Gap-Year. Listen and read the show notes/quotes here🌈: https://simplecast.com/s/71040196 ☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️ Just this week, Grace commenced a potentially year long journey around the world, and we figured a send off conversation was in order. While traveling, Grace will produce a video series and write blog posts explaining the concepts behind her platform The Love Trip. 🎥📕 You can sign up to receive her updates and creations/articulations here💻: lovetrip.blog Although this is the first time she is publicly sharing her experiences on the interweb, Grace has been to over 31 countries and either speaks or understands 4 languages (and counting). So you know she's legit. ☑️ I guessed the conversation would be informative (which it was), but I was surprised to hear so many common themes pop up in our ideologies about travel. 🤔 The interesting part was that (in some cases) our tones and language are totally different. 🛸 Grace said: “What I like to practice is always following my heart. Taking a moment to really tap in to what my heart is really telling me… It can feel like a lot of different things. It can feel very physical at times, like even a pain or a twinge in my heart that says this isn’t the right place for you to be right now.” 💓 While I might say: "if you can take a shit, take it". 💩 Both work when making a tough decision, but our deliveries are ... divergent. ⬆️↗️➡️↘️⬇️↙️ I look forward to following Grace, in a digital sense, as she vagabonds around the world like a true Nomad. Surely, she'll learn bundles, and her upcoming work with The Love Trip means we can all learn along with her. 🤗 As always, thanks a bazzillion for listening to THE NOMAD THEORY.🌎 Stay Wild Folks!
