071: How Travel Taught Me to Love My Body with Hannah Logan

Have you ever considered how travel can transform not just your perception of the world but also your relationship with yourself? 

In this week's episode, we explore the inspiring journey of Hannah Logan—a trailblazer in the world of travel and body confidence. 

Hannah Logan, a curvy adventure traveler from Ottawa, Canada, shares her rich experiences of visiting 80 countries, most of them solo. From her first trip to Ireland, which sparked her love for travel, to creating a successful travel blog, Hannah's passion for adventure and her growth as a content creator shine through.

Hannah openly discusses her struggles with body confidence and how travel has played a significant role in her journey to body positivity. Her early travels were a mix of excitement and anxiety over body image issues, yet through perseverance and self-reflection, she learned to embrace her body. Experiences, both challenging and rewarding, taught her to appreciate her body for what it allows her to do rather than how it looks.

Hannah’s story reminds us that travel is not only about discovering new destinations but also about finding ourselves. Her journey illustrates the power of self-acceptance, adaptability, and the courage to forge your path, even when faced with challenges. As you plan your next adventure, consider how you can move through the world with mindfulness and a deeper connection to yourself. Join Hannah in embracing a life of exploration and self-love, paving the way for more inclusive and transformative travel experiences.
