About this episode
There is something magical that happens when you sit with someone who has lived adventure as both an inner and outer journey. My conversation with Melissa Rodway brought me right back to why I love exploring the heart of travel. It is not only about the places we go. It is about the inner shifts, awakenings, and quiet truths that rise up when we let ourselves be present to what the road is teaching us.
Melissa is an author, journalist, and former host of Fly Travel Radio. In today’s preview, she shares how her relationship with travel has changed as she has grown and how purpose found her on a long eco luxury trip fifteen years ago. What began as simple emails eventually became the start of her book. We touched on travel fatigue, travel judgment, creativity, and the honest moments in between that shape who we become as travelers and as people.
This short preview is just a taste of what is coming later this week. We saved the deeper stories for Wednesday's full episode including an unforgettable encounter she had on the road and the new adventures she is dreaming into. If you love conversations that explore travel, humor, reinvention, and the paradox of finding yourself through movement, you will want to come back for the full interview.
A couple of reflections to carry with you
- Travel changes as we change and each season of life invites a new way of exploring
- Purpose often finds us in quiet moments when we least expect it
