From Doing to Being: Transformational & Regenerative Travel with Jake Haupert & Hilary Matson

This week on Traveling Culturati, we’re diving into a deeper way of exploring the world, one that moves beyond just checking destinations off a list and into experiences that truly transform you. We begin with insights inspired by Jake Haupert on transformational travel, shifting the focus from simply doing to truly being. It’s about slowing down, being present, and allowing travel to change how you see yourself and the world around you. From there, the conversation naturally expands into regenerative travel, drawing from Hilary Matson’s perspective on how we can explore the world in a way that not only sustains destinations but actively gives back to them. This approach encourages us to travel with intention, supporting local communities and leaving places better than we found them.Together, these perspectives invite you to rethink what travel really means, moving with purpose, connecting more deeply, and becoming more conscious of your impact along the way. We’ll also have Ja’Vonne's Travel Minute and The Culture Report featuring host and travel pro Ja’Vonne Harley!
