Travel Changes You… and It’s Calling

I've just returned home from 3 months in Bali, an incredible retreat year and reflecting on it all...
Travel has been the greatest teacher I’ve ever known. It’s the thing that pulls you out of your comfort zone, shows you where you’ve been playing small, and reminds you just how big and beautiful this world really is.

When you allow yourself to step outside your bubble and spend time with you—without the routines, the expectations, the noise—something shifts.
You meet new people.
You listen to stories that are not your own.
You taste flavors you’ve never imagined.
And your heart expands in ways you cannot prepare for.

Every conversation…
every unfamiliar meal…
every shared laugh with a stranger…
every unexpected turn on the road…
cracks you open a little more.

You begin to see the world differently.
You begin to see yourself differently.

And the more I travel, the more I realize we are far more alike than different.
It’s in the kindness of strangers, the warmth of shared meals, the generosity of cultures, and those quiet moments that remind you the world is still full of so much good.

You come home softer, wiser, more alive—
with a wider worldview, a more grateful heart, and a deeper love for the messy, magical diversity of this planet.

And yet… so many women tell me they’re waiting.

“After the kids are grown.”
“After I retire.”
“When I have someone to go with.”
“When life finally calms down.”
“When I win the lottery.”

But here’s the truth I’ve learned again and again:

There is no perfect time.
The time is now.
If not now… when?

Do what you love.
Say yes to the things that whisper to your soul.
Don’t look back at your life and think, “I wish I had done that.”

Take a chance on yourself.
Choose the adventure.
Let yourself live fully.

And if you’ve been dreaming of seeing the world—with a group of women who believe in living boldly, embracing joy, and saying yes to the magic of life—come join us on one of our retreats.

Let yourself receive the gifts of travel, sisterhood, and personal transformation.
You deserve it.
And the world is waiting.
