Are you yearning for an experience that could transform not just your familyâs outlook on the world, but also improve your own as a parent?
Are you curious about how different cultures parent their children?
In todayâs fast-paced, technology-driven world, the notion of slow travel can create the perfect environment for personal growth and connection.
Join Elodie Ferchaud, co-founder of Boundless Life, and I as we navigate the world of travel for families.
Elodieâs journey started out as an expat family, where she observed the differences in parenting across cultures - Swedish, French, Japanese and American. Because of this cross-cultural experience, she was able to blend the best of all 4 parenting styles into her own version of mothering.
Boundless Life stands out with its thoughtfully crafted communities in places like Greece, Portugal, and Bali, aiming to provide holistic family living solutions. These include schooling based on experiential learning and tight-knit support networks for parents and children alike.
Elodie elaborates on how the Boundless Life concept allows families to experience life beyond traditional schooling and routines, fostering development through multi-age learning and personalised educational paths.
One of the most evocative aspects of Elodie's journey is discovering the power of communityâa notion unfamiliar to her until becoming part of the Boundless Life ecosystem. This support system proved invaluable, from day-to-day parenting challenges to moments of vulnerability and growth.
Boundless Lifeâs approach to education is innovative, emphasizing growth mindset and holistic child development through modular, multi-age learning environments. Kids not only partake in culturally immersive activities but also benefit from stable, supportive learning surroundings that mitigate the transitions typically associated with frequent relocations.

In today's fast-paced world, rest is often mistaken for simply lying on a beach with a cocktail in hand. But what if rest could mean something deeper, a true rejuvenation that touches the soul, leaving you transformed? This question finds its answer in the story of Roberto Laurens, owner of Pacha Munay Retreat Center in Peru.
Roberto Laurensâ journey is anything but conventional. Born in Colombia, he moved to Massachusetts and embarked on a life filled with spiritual exploration and entrepreneurship. Following a significant health crisis and profound spiritual experiences, Roberto found himself at a crossroads that led him to the heart of Peru.
It was a series of synchronicitiesâthe calling of Peru that Roberto could not ignore. Post-surgery, seeking healing, he found himself in the jungles of the Amazon managing an ayahuasca retreat center. Here, Roberto learned invaluable lessons on the benefits and pitfalls of plant medicine, highlighting the importance of integration over the mere experience of spiritual highs.
In a world obsessed with bucket lists and itineraries, Roberto emphasizes the balance between exploration and inner work. The retreat nurtures this balance, encouraging guests to view travel not as an escape but as a profound opportunity for personal development.
When you next plan your travels, consider the potential for transformation that lies beyond sightseeing. Embrace the opportunity to rest, rejuvenate, and return home with a newfound clarity and sense of purpose.

Are you considering a move abroad? Or perhaps traveling long term? Have you ever considered what it takes to safely and legally transition from your home country to a new country?
Whether driven by political climates, a desire for adventure, or the allure of experiencing a new culture, moving overseas is a dream many people share. However, it's not just about packing your bags and buying a plane ticket.
This week on the Transform with Travel Podcast, Iâm joined by Lauren Klein, an esteemed estate planning attorney, to discuss the implications of moving abroad. Lauren, who specializes in helping individuals and families navigate the legal complexities of relocating internationally, shares invaluable insights from her experience.
Lauren emphasizes the need to start with a solid foundation in estate planning. Prior to moving, ensure your estate planning documents are set up in your home jurisdiction. This often includes setting up a revocable trust to avoid probate issues and naming guardians for minor children. Importantly, having healthcare directives in place ensures your healthcare wishes are respected, no matter where you are.
A common misconception is that U.S. citizens living abroad are not subject to U.S. taxes. In reality, the U.S. taxes citizens on their worldwide income, regardless of residence. Therefore, understanding your tax obligations in both the U.S. and your new country is essential, and requires expert advice from professionals who are well-versed in international tax laws.
Whether you're considering a temporary stay of a few months or a permanent move, it's crucial to understand the layers of legal and financial protection you need. Being informed and prepared will minimize stress and allow you to fully experience the joys of living overseas.
For those ready to leap into life abroad, having a well-structured plan and a strong, competent advisory team can make all the difference in achieving both security and happiness in your new location.

Is the stress of travel ruining your trips? Do you ever wonder why you took the trip in the first place if you are just going to be stressed the whole time?
In this episode, we're celebrating a significant milestoneâour 50th episodeâand I couldnât be more thrilled to share some of the insights Iâve gathered over years of exploring the world, practicing and teaching yoga, mindfulness, meditation, and now, creating resources to help travelers transform their experiences.
Join me on todayâs episode where I share my 7 Proven Strategies to unlocking stress-free travels through the power of mindfulness.
Traveling can be a thrilling adventure filled with discovery, yet it often comes with its own set of challengesâflight anxieties, packing dilemmas, and the rush of itineraries. These challenges can overshadow the joy of travel, leaving us frazzled and less present. During a transformative moment on a retreat to Costa Rica, the realization struck that many travelers share these nerves and anxieties, often letting a single negative experience taint an entire trip.
This insight led to the creation of "The Mindful Traveler: How to Navigate Travel Stress with a Smile"âan ebook crafted to help us navigate those stressful moments with ease and grace, turning potential trials into opportunities for growth and connection.
Mindfulness isnât about achieving perfect travel experiences, but rather embracing each moment as it comes, with all its unpredictabilities. As you plan your next adventure, remember these tools to transform travel stress into moments of serenity.
For a deeper dive into these techniques and more, check out "The Mindful Traveler" ebook available at www.transformwithtravel.co, and enjoy a 10% discount with code LAUNCH10. As we step into the holiday season, may these insights accompany and empower your journeys.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to view the world from the cockpit of an airplane? Or perhaps you're one of the many travelers who experience a tinge of anxiety every time you buckle up for a flight. In today's episode, we unravel these mysteries with insights from a seasoned pilot, Simon Brackett, and learn practical ways to manage in-flight anxiety.
Travel can open up new perspectives and enhance the quality of our lives. Traveling can be transformational, however, for many, stepping on an airplane introduces a wave of nervousness, often due to turbulence or unfamiliar sounds during a flight. Understanding the process and realities of flying can ease anxiety, allowing one to fully embrace the adventurous spirit that travel promises.
One of the most common fears associated with flying is turbulence. Simon Brackett, a commercial pilot and former Air Force special operations pilot, clarifies that turbulence doesn't mean danger. He compares it to a boat riding over choppy water â uncomfortable but manageable. Simon reassures us that he's never encountered structural damage to an aircraft due to turbulence. He also shares his best tips for staying safe, as well as for managing flight anxiety.
Understanding the mechanics and safety of flying, coupled with mindful practices, can vastly improve your travel experience. Embrace these tips and insights next time you embark on your journey, and remember to keep exploring the horizons, grounded in the confidence of a safe flight.

How does pelvic health impact your travel experiences?
In this episode of the Transform with Travel podcast, Iâm joined by Susan Winograd, a pelvic health expert. This insightful discussion explored the often-overlooked connection between pelvic health and travel, providing valuable advice for travelers of all kinds.
Susan emphasized the importance of a whole-body wellness approach, integrating various modalities to support clients comprehensively. This approach isn't just about addressing immediate health issues but ensuring long-term wellness. Susan's clinic offers a full spectrum of services, including nutrition and wellness programs, to help clients feel their best throughout life.
Susan provided practical tips to maintain health while traveling. Simple practices like changing positions frequently, staying hydrated, and planning for potential constipation can make a big difference. Breathwork was also highlighted as a powerful tool for pelvic health, helping balance the body's systems with every inhale and exhale.
Traveling across time zones often disrupts sleep patterns. Susan explained the importance of adjusting to local time as quickly as possible to help regulate bodily functions, including sleep and bladder control. Getting immediate exposure to sunlight upon arrival and integrating familiar routines can aid in this adjustment.
Susan's overarching message is to be proactive and plan for your health. By modifying what can be controlled and embracing new experiences, travelers can enhance their well-being. For those looking to connect with Susan, her practice Pelvicore Rehab and Wellness in Boca Raton, Florida, offers a wealth of resources, and she can be found across various online platforms.

Are you ready to transform your travel experiences and maybe even your career through the world of travel?
In this episode of the Transform with Travel podcast, I sit down with Henley Vazquez, the CEO and co-founder of Fora. This conversation illuminated the evolving landscape of the travel industry, the rise of travel advisors, and the growing interest in wellness travel.
We got into the changes in the travel industry, particularly post-pandemic. The demand for travel advisors has surged as travelers seek guidance through the more complex travel landscape. The conversation highlighted the growing need for flexibility and the ability for last-minute planning, as people are still wary of committing to travel plans far in advance.
Fora aims to revolutionize the travel advising industry by offering a modern platform that supports advisors with training, efficient booking tools, and community connection. This approach not only helps seasoned advisors but also makes it easier for newcomers to enter the field and succeed.
Henley shared some exciting travel trends, including a move towards exploring less touristy areas in popular destinations like Italy and the rise of far-flung destinations such as Bhutan. She also noted the continued popularity of domestic travel within the United States, with destinations like the American West offering unique experiences.
Henley also emphasized the importance of customer service, attention to detail, and leveraging personal networks over social media. By providing exceptional service, advisors can build a loyal client base through word-of-mouth referrals.

Have you ever wondered how you can combine your passion for yoga, wellness, and travel into a sustainable lifestyle?
In this episode of the Transform with Travel podcast, I sit down with Erica Hartnick, founder of Yoga Trade, to discuss her inspiring journey and offer invaluable insights into the world of mindful traveling, seasonal work, and the vibrant global wellness community.
Erica Hartnick is described as a connection catalyst and mindful adventurer, who grew up in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California but now splits her time between Lake Tahoe and Costa Rica. With a life devoted to exploration, Erica facilitates nature-inspired yoga and mindful experiences. She co-founded Yoga Trade in 2012, driven by her devotion to regenerative living and connecting the global wellness community.
We dive into Erica's journey, asking what about the practice of yoga led her to pursue a full-time career in the industry. Erica shares her path from being a mountain athlete to deeply immersing herself in yoga due to injuries. She explains that Yoga Trade was born out of a genuine desire to give back and a passion project without a formal business plan. This authentic sense of wanting to serve the world laid the foundation for Yoga Trade.
The conversation transitions to the seasonal lifestyle that Erica has embraced. After college, Erica initially pursued a business career but quickly shifted to seasonal mountain jobs to fuel her passion for skiing and snowboarding. Over time, she developed a pattern of working in winter and summer jobs, and traveling for short periods during spring and fall. Erica reflects on how this lifestyle led to burnout and the realization that she longed for a stable community and purposeful life.
We also discuss the profound impact of nature on one's well-being and the importance of mindful travel. Erica shares her belief that being in nature helps clear the mind, open the heart, and connect with the source of life. She speaks about the concept of leaving no trace and treading lightly on the earth. Erica emphasizes the need for awareness, non-judgment, and personal responsibility when traveling.

Have you ever dreamed of transforming your ordinary travel experiences into extraordinary adventures? If you answered yes, then you're just one step away from discovering how to travel like a rockstar. In this episode of the Transform with Travel podcast, I sit down with Lisa Gneo, a luxury travel concierge at Rockstar Luxury Travel, to discuss what it truly means to journey with style, comfort, and unforgettable experiences. Here are the highlights from their enlightening conversation.
Lisa's mission at Rockstar Luxury Travel is to redefine the travel experience. With over 20 years of hospitality experience, she has curated a network of expert travel advisors dedicated to planning the perfect journeys for their clients. Lisa shared that her ultimate goal is to transform tourists into travelers by providing personalized, high-touch services.
According to Lisa, a competent travel advisor should be someone who has "walked the walk," with firsthand experience of the destinations they recommend. This ensures that clients receive authentic advice and exceptional service. She collaborates with trusted local travel advisors in Europe to provide accurate, up-to-date information and hidden gems off the typical tourist path.
Lisa shares her take on the hottest travel destinations for 2024, and shares her parting advice, which is simple yet profound: "Get out and travel. Don't wait.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to leave a stable, high-stress job to pursue a passion that lights up your soul? Not only that, what about taking that passion and using it to build a career with your passion of travel?
Justin Liebman transitioned from a high-stress finance job to a fulfilling career as a yoga teacher. Justin, like many others, found solace and passion in yoga, which ignited most when he began studying yogic philosophy. After years of dedicated practice, he took the leap in 2018 to leave his corporate finance job to pursue teaching yoga full-time.
His journey wasn't without its challenges. Justin shared that the transition period was fraught with financial uncertainty, teaching only a handful of classes every week. However, his passion kept him going, and within six months, he was able to build a sustainable teaching schedule. Justin traded financial security for happiness, a decision he never regretted.
One of the most transformative aspects of Justinâs journey has been the practice of meditation. Meditation helped him cultivate patience and navigate life's chaotic moments with a clearer mind.
With numerous retreats now available, choosing the right one can be overwhelming. In our conversation, Justin shared invaluable tips:
1. Find the Right Teacher: Ensure that the teacherâs style and approach resonate with you.
2. Check the Schedule: Look for retreats that align with what you want from the experience, whether it's an immersion in yoga or time for excursions.
3. Understand Your Goals: Determine whether you want a serene retreat with less activity or a complete immersion into yoga practices.
Justinâs story is a testament to the transformative power of yoga and travel. He encourages everyone to take the leap and embrace the uncertainties that come with following your passion. Remember, the journey may be long, but the rewards are worth it.

Have you ever wondered how you can travel and avoid alcohol without sacrificing fun and adventure? Jen Hirst, founder of Lighthouse Sobriety, shares her powerful story of overcoming addiction and provides actionable tips for embracing an alcohol-free life while traveling.
In this episode of the Transform with Travel podcast, Jen discusses her journey to sobriety, the impact of alcohol on personal growth, and how to navigate vacations without drinking. Jen shares her journey to sobriety â from seeking help through AA and various outpatient programs, to eventually dedicated herself fully to recovery.
Many people associate travel with alcohol. Whether it's enjoying a drink on the beach, attending a wine tasting, or partying at local hotspots, alcohol seems intertwined with the concept of vacation. However, Jen highlights the problems this relationship can cause, particularly for those looking to embrace a sober lifestyle.
For Jen, the true essence of travel lies in experiencing the world fully present. Alcohol, she explains, can dull these experiences, leaving travelers missing out on the simple joys of connecting with new places and cultures.
Jen shares her key strategies to enjoying your alcohol-free vacation to the fullest.

Have you ever felt like travel has led you to a deeper commitment to protecting our planet? Do you wonder what your environmental impact is as a world traveler?
In this episode of the "Transform with Travel" podcast, I sit down with Evan Orellana, the regional manager of the Surfrider Foundation for Florida and Puerto Rico. Evan shares his journey from a sea turtle nesting monitor to an advocate for ocean conservation, highlighting the powerful influence of travel and the crucial work of Surfrider in protecting our coastal environments.
Travel has shaped Evan's commitment to ocean conservation. Trips to Guatemala with his father revealed the powerful and sometimes untamed nature of the ocean, offering a stark contrast to Floridaâs relatively calm beaches. These experiences underscored the global importance of protecting our marine environments.
The Surfrider Foundation, founded in 1984, focuses on protecting the ocean, waves, and beaches for all people. With over 180 chapters and 200 student clubs nationwide, Surfrider tackles issues like plastic pollution, beach access, and clean water rights. Their efforts emphasize the need for community involvement and proactive measures against climate change.
Plastic pollution, particularly single-use plastics, is a significant threat to our oceans. Evan highlights the alarming spread of plastics, even in the most remote areas like the Antarctic sea floor. The pervasive nature of plastic waste underscores the need for global action and individual responsibility.
Evan offers practical advice for travelers to minimize their environmental impact.

Have you ever wondered how to balance your love for travel with financial wellness?
In a recent episode of the Transform with Travel Podcast, Iâm joined by Erika Wasserman, certified financial therapist. Erika brings a wealth of knowledge, not just from her professional life but also from her personal experiences.
Erika explains the core of financial therapy: understanding the intertwining of money and emotions. A strong relationship with money offers choices and opportunities, while a weak one can lead to feelings of defeat and helplessness. Erika emphasizes the need for financial education and open conversations about money, which are often neglected in many households.
Kelly addresses a common concern â how to save for big trips without feeling financially irresponsible. Erika introduces the concept of a "Yes Plan," focusing on what you want to say yes to instead of feeling restricted by a budget. She shares practical tips like setting travel alerts, flying economy on less busy days, involving the family in saving efforts, and visualizing your travel goals to build momentum and make savings enjoyable.
Reflecting on her extensive travels, Erika underscores that travel taught her life's fragility and the importance of seizing moments with loved ones. Whether on grand adventures or daily micro-explorations, appreciating the present and those around us enriches life immeasurably.
