Have you ever brushed off the idea of working with a travel advisor? Maybe you’ve heard the term, seen a post, or even been handed a business card… and thought, “I don’t need that.”

In this episode, I sit down with my colleague Matthew Alexander, a fellow Fora travel advisor, to debunk the biggest misconceptions around working with travel advisors. We break down what travel advisors actually do, who can benefit from working with one (spoiler alert.... it's everyone), and why this role looks nothing like the outdated stereotypes people still associate with it.

We also share the unique value we each bring to the table as advisors — from personalized planning and industry access to support, accessibility, strategy, and peace of mind — and why having a travel advisor can completely change the way you experience travel.

If you’ve ever wondered whether a travel advisor is really worth it, this episode is for you.

In this impromptu episode, I get real and raw about how fear disguises itself as "logic" - and how shifting my mindset from "one day" to "right now" completely changed my life. From changing my college major to taking my first volunteer trip abroad, I share how following intuition instead of fear led me to a life of travel, freedom, and purpose - and how you can do it too. The reality is, it's so much easier than you think! If you've ever told yourself "someday" , this is your sign to start planning your now.

In this episode, I’m taking you through my dreamy, wild trip to Savannah, GA. I share how the city’s energy aligned with my astrocartography chart, my favorite restaurants and bars, and the unexpectedly chaotic nights out. From ghost tours to strip clubs, and some of the best museums I’ve ever been to — I’m breaking down all my takeaways from this unforgettable trip. 👻✨
