Why We Travel Podcast - #038: Live That Travel Dream While Working On Your Goals
play

07/09/24 • 24 min

In this episode of the Why We Travel podcast, Claus Lauter chats with Kelsey Schaefer about the transformative power of travel and why it's more than just a break from routine—it's an investment in personal development.
Kelsey shares her experiences of traveling extensively, especially her eye-opening trip to Thailand.
Topics discussed in this episode:

  • Kelsey's Journey to Thailand
  • Teaching English Abroad
  • Culture Shock and Adaptation
  • Personal Development
  • Solo Female Travel
  • Embracing Challenges

About our guest: Kelsey Schaefer believes there is so much more to life than working in a cubicle and waiting until retirement to see the world. She feels that travel has taught her more about herself and the world than any degree or job ever could. Her goal is to help others step out of their 'stable' situations and take the leap to become the version of themselves they’ve always wanted to be. She truly believes that traveling helps achieve this transformation. Kelsey emphasizes that stepping out of our comfort zone is the key to becoming a better version of ourselves. It allows us to decide who we are when we're not surrounded by the things that typically define us.
