Weekly Flow #17 | April 28th, 2023

Greetings, Travelers

Welcome to my weekly flow of news, events, insightful perspectives, and impactful stories aimed at creating positive change in your life and the lives you touch, at home and on the road.

My curious mind, intuitive soul, and big heart, along with some personal connections and crushes on extraordinary humans have put me in a position to receive an abundance of practical information, exciting innovation, and profound wisdom, usually travel-related, that has flowed to me, and now, on to you. Before you scan, take a breath, tune in, open up to the flow, and find your glow.

A new dawn of travel is among us! Put down the selfie stick and get ready to experience travel in a more meaningful and impactful way. Sign up for TTC Ally, Amit Jaipuria of Postcard Travel’s new podcast, and listen to stories from the men and women who facilitate experiences of powerful self-growth and sustainable tourism.
So excited to see our very own Shoba Mohan, of RARE India, and our Ambassador in India, as part of this incredible panel of judges for the Skift Idea Awards! If you’re in tourism, I know you have good ideas… Submit before May 2nd!

Whoa!!! I have a few man crushes, one of them is on Chip Conley, co-founder of the Modern Elder Academy. I am an alumnus of this “Midlife Wisdom School,” and am so grateful that Chip wrote about “How Transformational Travel Puts You Into a State of Flow!” So sweet of him to shine his bright light on transformational travel and the TTC!
I wrote this a few years ago, 10 Transformative Insights for Family Adventures. Maybe my daddy/daughter journey in Hawaii this month inspired you to mindfully explore with your child or children. As you plan your next family adventure, call upon this for some cool tips and tools to deepen the experience, meaningfully connect with others, and renew your own relationships!
“Hello! Let’s talk about relationships—how to improve them, how to enjoy them, and how to truly connect with the people in our lives.” - Living Joyfully
Travel as a learning experience: Transformative learning in the context of educational tourism. This highlights the benefits of travel for personal growth and development. How? Well, uncovering the true self leads to a renewed awareness that radiates positive impacts on others and the world! Now you got it, so journey on!

I’ve been getting some amazing feedback and love regarding these weekly flows. I realize that some of the ideas and concepts might stretch your mind a bit, but that’s the idea. In this day and age, I think it is really important for all to seek out fresh ideas and perspectives and live to higher ideals and perspectives. Thanks for following along each week, I’m an activist and a healer, and I sincerely hope this finds you well, open, and ready to create positive change in your life!

And if you’re curious to know more about the TTC and what we do, here’s a quick explanation
