027: How A Solo Trip Across Australia Gave Her A New Perspective On Life & Travel | Ft. Emma Krebs

In episode 027, I virtually meet up with Emma to discuss a life-changing trip she took to Australia. Now, this might just seem like just a regular story from a random girl--and actually, it is. But that's the beauty of it. Anyone can go out on their own, book a one-way ticket, and "see where it takes them". Anyone can go on more adventures and get out of their comfort zone. The difference is, most people don't. They're stuck in a dream-like state, only hoping and wishing for something more in life, but never taking action. If you want to turn your average life into an extraordinary one, listen to this episode.
