Have you ever wondered how to travel the world on a tight budget while experiencing life-changing adventures? Join us as we chat with Laura Lisensky, a high school biology teacher and host of the "Travel Along with Laura" podcast, who shares her incredible journey from studying in Scotland to serving in the Peace Corps in Benin, West Africa, and beyond. Laura uncovers the myths around the cost of travel and offers insightful tips on how to explore places like Thailand and South America without breaking the bank. Her story is a testament to the transformative power of travel and the invaluable experiences it brings.
Laura's passion for travel reignited a dozen years after her South American expedition, leading her to embark on solo trips and start her own travel podcast. Hear about her empowering solo journey to Costa Rica, where she learned the nuances of solo travel and gathered practical advice to share with other adventurers. Laura's unique podcast style, which immerses listeners through authentic audio recordings, and her candid recount of a challenging family trip to Croatia underline the importance of preparation and adaptability in overcoming travel obstacles.
As we conclude, Laura reflects on her surreal solo adventure to Morocco post-COVID, offering a glimpse into the eerie yet captivating experience of traveling during Eid. We discuss how travel enriches our personal and professional lives, illustrated through captivating wildlife encounters in the Galapagos and thoughtful destination choices, like a memorable trip down the Mekong River in Laos. Join us for inspiring stories, practical travel tips, and a deeper understanding of why we travel not to escape life, but so that life does not escape us.
