Episode notes

Every now and then, I like to drop an extra episode! This week, I'm pulling one of my favorites from the archives.

In this episode, we dive into giving back as a traveler, the impact that travel can have on your relationship with fear, how to recognize privilege, and why you can and should do many various things in life (no niching required).
