The Travel Transformation Podcast With Jessica Grace Coleman

In this solo episode, I talk about all the things that went wrong during my recent USA trip (and as it was five weeks long, that was quite a few things!), and how I dealt with them all. I know people worry about things going wrong while travelling, especially when they’re travelling solo, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go – it just means that, sometimes, you have to get a bit creative!

In this solo episode, I carry on recounting my USA Autumn Adventure – this time, in Boston, Massachusetts!

In this episode, I talk about our time in Boston and Salem, MA, including our ghost/true crime walking tour, our Boston harbour lunch cruise, o...

In this solo episode, I continue filling you in on my Autumn 2024 road trip around New England. This time, I’m staying in the super cute town of Waterbury, Vermont – which, most importantly, is just a few minutes away from the Ben & Jerry’s factory. If you’re an ice cream fan, you have to check it out! I also tell you about my other favourite places, such as the Cold Hollow Cider Mill, Bridgeside Books, and the nearby ...

In this solo episode, I tell you all about the next part of my USA travels this autumn, flying from Nashville to Newark, hanging out in New Jersey and New York City, and then getting the Amtrak train to White River Junction in Vermont.

In this solo episode, I continue with my travel diary around the US in autumn/fall 2024. Having driven back from Pigeon Forge to Nashville, I checked into my Airbnb – The Best Man Cave ever – before heading on to see the show at the Grand Ole Opry for my birthday!

Follow me as I fly into Nashville, Tennessee, rent a car and drive to Pigeon Forge, head to Dollywood, go on a Pink Jeep Tour of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, attend the Dolly Parton Stampede dinner show, and get angry at some inconsiderate b...

In this super quick quickie solo episode, I talk about my recent trip to Cambridge, to visit my friend Vicki and to attend two shows – a Little Big Town gig and Buffy Revamped. These shows – along with hanging out in the botanical gardens with plants and trees from all over the world, having lunch in an African restaurant, and listening to nostalgic playlists over dinner – helped transport me to different times and dif...

In this episode, I go off on a bit of a tangent on how we really can do anything we want (as long as we keep it legal, and no descending into The Purge, please!) – inspired by a meme and an Instagram reel. I also talk about Jamie Kern Lima’s phrase ‘You’re not crazy, you’re just first’ and how Jesse Cole of the Savannah Bananas (he of the yellow tux fame) inspired me to go out and do something different – with my Movif...

In this episode, I tell you about my upcoming trip to the States (in particular, Nashville, Dollywood, and New England), and I discuss all the websites, apps, and tools I’ve been using to plan my epic itinerary – from Booking.com and Airbnb for accommodation, experiences, car hire, and airport transfers, to Facebook groups, Google Maps, Uncle ChatGPT, public transport companies, and individual town websites. It’s taken...

In this episode, I talk about the pre-trip wiggins many of us feel right before going on a big trip, especially if it’s for a long time or if you’re travelling solo. This is the anxiety or overwhelm you might feel the day before or the morning of your flight, as well as the specific fears you might be experiencing to do with the trip itself. I also give you several things you can do to help conquer the pre-trip wiggins...

In this episode, I bring you an interview I did on the wonderful Expand and Impact podcast with Violetta Znorkowski. 

During our conversation, we talk about all kinds of things, such as how easy it is to keep promises to other people but not necessarily to yourself, what our ancestors would think – especially our female ones – about all the opportunities we have now, and how we can use that as motivation t...

In this episode, I talk all about my recent weekend trip to Richmond, London, which I visited because I’m a HUGE Ted Lasso fan. The TV show ‘Ted Lasso’ (which ran for three seasons and is available on Apple TV Plus) tells the story of American football coach Ted, who comes over to the UK to coach a Premier League football team – fictional Richmond FC – with no idea what he’s doing.
