In this episode of "Determined to Succeed," I had the pleasure of interviewing the incredible Laura Ericson, a passionate advocate for transformative travel. Laura's journey is a testament to the power of travel in changing lives and broadening horizons. Through her business, she empowers others to explore misunderstood and often misrepresented destinations, challenging stereotypes and fostering a deeper connection with the world. Laura shared heartfelt stories about how travel healed and transformed her, and her mission to facilitate similar experiences for others. Her approach to group travel not only allows people to explore new places but also creates environments where deep, lasting friendships are formed. It's clear that for Laura, travel is much more than just visiting new places; it's about the people, the connections, and the shared experiences that leave a lasting impact. During our discussion, Laura also touched on a recent trip to Morocco that coincided with an unexpected earthquake. This event brought the group closer together, turning what could have been a trip-ending disaster into a profound opportunity to support and engage with the local community in a time of need. This resilience and dedication to supporting local economies, even in challenging times, truly encapsulates the spirit of Laura's work. I'm thrilled to announce that Laura and I, having met for the first time during this podcast, discovered a shared love for adventurous, meaningful travel and have decided to explore Cuba together in January 2025. This adventure is not just a trip; it's the beginning of what promises to be a thrilling chapter in our lives. For everyone listening, this episode is more than just a story of travel; it's an invitation to explore the world with intention and heart. Join Laura and experience firsthand the profound impact that thoughtful, conscious travel can have on the world and on yourselves. Give her a follow or join her on the adventure! Life is too short not to experience the world.
