You can just think, is there something I can do? Can I take three weeks off? Can I work fewer hours and spend a little more time adventuring every week? Can you build adventure into your day?" - Brittany Roberts"If you can learn a little bit about the culture before you go or the history, I think that would be not only good for you to interact with people there, but just good for you, right? That you know the history of the land." - Brittany Roberts"So even supporting can be kind of in a way like come off as patronizing or something. But these are professionals. And so pay them for their professional services, their expertise and the fact that they're also from the land and supporting that and working with the land." - Brittany Roberts"So sharing those experiences with people and having teachers kind of democratizing travel and making it so that people can access those experiences, I think is really important to me because it shouldn't just be for the super rich, right? Like everybody should be able to have that." - Brittany Roberts"Slow travel is the opposite of that. So when I'm traveling by myself, slow travel is about taking your time, immersing yourself in the culture, and really experiencing the place you're in. It's about being present and not rushing from one tourist attraction to another." - Brittany RobertsVALUABLE RESOURCESWebsite: www.thereikihealingcoach.comInstagram - @createlifeyourway and @sophia_i_got_igLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sophia-elcock-b1941b5Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/sophia.el.754/ABOUT YOUR HOSTSophia is passionate about traveling the world and personal development.
