Welcome to the Travel Not to Escape Podcast. I am your host Geleenonthego, solo female traveler and creative entrepreneur. Think of me as your skydive instructor, empowering you to take the leap into solo travel to push past your fears and transform your life. I started my solo travel journey over 10 years ago and have learned all the hard lessons along the way. I was traveling to escape for a long time, and it was through all the lessons, therapy, coaches, spiritual modalities and many connectioins I have met along the way... I learned the importance of traveling not to escape.. but with a purpose. So I started this podcast and community because I want to empower you to do the same. Solo travel can be such a beautiful transformative experience if you allow it. Once I started to integrate the lessons I learned from solo travel into my life, I started to make significant changes - I ended my unhappy 10 year relationship, I quit two 6-figure but stressfull corporate careers in healthcare and tech, learned how to set boundaries with my family, and made values- aligned friendships. I created a life that aligns to my values of freedom, community, and purpose.. For the last three years I have been living anywhere in the world I want to as a digital nomad with my own passion filled business and a community of supportive and inspiring connections. But I started where you may be right now.. if you're a little lost and confused.. Don't know where to start on your solo travel journey or maybe you have solo traveled but feel like you could get more out of the experience. Join me every Tuesday, and we will explore the world of intentional solo travel so you can discover how you can use it for your own personal transformation, learn how to make meaningful connections anywhere in the world, and reignite your spirit of play... We aren’t talking about traveling to find ourselves anymore… we’re all about doing the work to understand who we authentically are, breaking through our limiting beliefs, and taking the leaps to manifest lives we are excited about! Through interviews, solo-episodes, and meditations, each episode is packed with practical tips, strategies, and inspiring stories from guests who have transformed their lives through travel. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or just starting out on your journey, the Travel Not to Escape Podcast is here to inspire and empower you to solo travel with purpose. Strap on your helmet we're about to jump headfirst into the journey of a lifetime. Ready? Let's Go!
