In this episode of Soul of Travel, Season 6: Women's Wisdom + Mindful Travel, presented by @journeywoman_original, Christine hosts a soulful conversation with Jessica Blotter.

Jessica Blotter is the visionary CEO and Co-Founder of Kind Traveler, an internationally awarded responsible travel platform revolutionizing how we travel through its signature model, Every Stay Gives Back.
