When I decided to venture into self-employment, I felt overwhelmed with uncertainty. I didn't know where to start, what services to offer, or who my target audience was, and as someone with lifelong anxiety, entrepreneurship seemed daunting.

Despite my fears, I took a risk and applied for a project slightly outside my comfort zone, which turned out to be a great success. Through working with this client, I discovered a life-changing program that embodied everything I believed in when it came to travel but was never able to put into words. It was also exactly what I needed! 

But there was one problem…

Committing to the program while my business was still new was terrifying. Nevertheless, I knew I needed the education and guidance it promised, so I took the leap and signed up. This decision connected me with like-minded individuals who shared my passion for travel and introduced me to a founder of an inspiring community, who became one of my cherished clients.

Working with this client opened even more doors and led me to another opportunity in a travel sector I had dreamt of entering for years.

Looking back, joining that program was more than just a business move; it became an investment that brought an abundance of benefits. Not only did I gain valuable knowledge and expand my network, but I also found fulfillment in nurturing a community of fellow entrepreneurs who shared my love for travel—a priceless boost to my mental well-being.

If you're struggling to gain momentum in your business, feeling isolated as an entrepreneur, or seeking guidance to bring your visions to life, I'd be honored to hold space for you and provide support. Together with Sahara Rose De Vore, one of my clients and mentors, we are thrilled to invite you to join us in The Travel Thought Leaders Circle this September.

Combining my experience in building authentic and powerful partnerships with successful travel businesses and Sahara's expertise as a TEDx speaker and founder of a rapidly growing global travel community, we will offer tailored guidance to help you think like a trailblazer, empowering you to confidently step into the next chapter of your business.

Popping in to send a belated Happy New Year to you all! 🎊 and share with you some philosophical thoughts I’ve had as of late 🧐

I just got back from a spontaneous solo trip to San Francisco and while I was reminded of the many benefits of travel, I also had plenty of time to reflect on the meaningful travel space we are a part of here at Your Travel Analyst. In doing so, a couple of questions surfaced for me:

Are there any repercussions of intentional travel? If so, what are they? ❌

Is any travel meaningless? If so, what does that look like? 🤔

I have a blog post coming soon on this very topic but in the meantime, I’d love to read your thoughts in the comments! 👇

“Intentional”, “mindful” or “transformational” travel all sound great, but they fail to address a major barrier that travelers face which keeps them from taking consistent, manageable and sustainable action on these types of experiences.

That barrier is an intention-behaviour gap. This is the idea that we say things like we want to ONLY eat local food, we want to travel zero waste or we want to practice meditation every day on our trip.

Sometimes we create such grandiose plans for our travels that we forget about the reality of our personalities, habits and more. Thus, our visions to become “better travelers” don’t come to fruition. ❌

Here are just a few ideas we have about closing this intention-behaviour gap. What other ideas can you think of? 🤔

Building travel back better takes collaboration, creativity and action. 🌎

With so many travel companies claiming to offer and promote transformative experiences, it can feel challenging to cut through the noise and decipher what is genuine from what is not.

By working with Your Travel Analyst, we can make sure your brand’s products and services align with the compelling messaging that inspires your clients. ✨

I was so honoured to spend this speaking at my alma mater, Centennial College.

It was an incredibly full-circle moment for me to be able to look out at a room filled with the next generation of travel leaders and inspire them in their journeys.

It was especially pertinent that this year’s theme is all about how we can , which is the crux of the work we do at Your Travel Analyst.

A year ago, I didn’t know what a travel coach was. I did, however, know that travel was inherently powerful in its ability to be life changing, help us form meaningful connections, and have a positive impact on the world. Little did I know that this very passion for travel could be articulated and executed in the form of travel coaching. I haven’t looked back since.

Today, I am thrilled to be quoted in this Washington Post article alongside Sahara Rose De Vore and some of my fellow Travel Coach Network community members. Through this piece, Christopher Elliott captures the essence of travel coaching and its capacity to bring depth and meaningful impact to travel experiences (and travellers!) of all kinds. Enjoy!
