102: Intentional Travel – How Kelly Fischer Brings Depth, Courage, and Mindfulness to Every Journey

Are you ready to transform your travel experiences into moments of depth and personal growth? In today's fast-paced world, travel has become more than just checking destinations off a list. It's about immersing yourself in new cultures, embracing challenges, and living with intention. This concept of intentional travel was the highlight of our recent conversation with Kelly Fischer.

Traveling often promises the allure of adventure and the temptation of Instagram-worthy spots. Yet, as Kelly shares, it's about the deeper experiences found beyond the crowded tourist traps and social media snapshots. These are the moments where you find yourself truly present, whether you're savoring a buttery croissant in France or navigating an unknown village in northern Italy.

Kelly's adventures highlight how stepping into the unknown isn't just about seeing new places; it's about personal growth. Surrounded by the unfamiliar, she found a deeper trust in herself and an ability to embrace the unexpected twists of travel. Her story reminds us that even the journey itself, with all its challenges and surprises, is just as rewarding as the destination.
