04/06/23 • 29 min
Today we speak to Digital Creator and Travel Advisor, Miriam Vasconcelos. Miriam is originally from the beautiful and diverse Azores Islands - and grew up in Cascais, Portugal - a fishing village outside of Lisbon.
In this episode we dive into why the Azores are known as the “Hawaii of Europe”, what you can expect when traveling to Portugal, the best time to go, and of course all things Portuguese gastronomy. This “small but mighty” country has it all and it is no surprise it won the World Travel Awards leading Destination for Europe in 2022.

India Part 1: Beyond the Golden Triangle
In this week’s episode we interview Philippa Kaye, content creator, entrepreneur, story teller, India travel expert and author of “Escape to India.” She shared with us some of her insights from living and running a business in India as a Westerner for 15 years. We learn about the curiosity and sense of adventure that drove her to discover the real India. Throughout our conversation we discuss the importance of having authentic travel experiences and sustainability in tourism. Phillipa invites us to explore our motivations for traveling to a destination and what we seek to gain over just checking off an item on our bucket list.
While India may have elements of chaos, travel within the country can be described by the overarching principles of “Guest is God” and the importance of accepting the unpredictable. We thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and thought that it deserved to be a two part episode. Let’s dive into part one, and be sure to check out the show notes for further details about destinations we reference in the episode.
