Summary

Do you ever feel limited by society’s expectations surrounding travel? When today’s guest, Beth Santos, started a travel blog, her goal was to challenge norms by exploring the diverse and shared experiences of women traveling the world. It has since morphed into Wanderful, an international community and social network with over 40,000 active members composed of women and nonbinary people of all ages and backgrounds. Aside from this booming online community, Beth has also created WITS Travel Creator + Brand Summit, the Bessie Awards, and the first-ever outdoor women’s festival (taking place in New Orleans in March 2022). This week's episode is filled with the wisdom and stories one can only acquire as a world traveler, serial entrepreneur, mother, and community builder. Tune in to learn what it means to be a good leader, how to create a safe and empowering community, why exploring your heritage can uncover unexpected roads and so much more. Make sure you don't miss out on a once-in-a-lifetime experience and enter to win your ticket to Wanderfest before February 18th, 2022. What are some ways you can create a safe space for others?

0:27.6	Unbound Marino for supporting today's show. I have a very strong belief that travel really only
0:33.2	consists of three things. It consists of challenging your preconceptions of trying something new
0:38.0	and putting yourself in a position of discomfort. And I think there are a lot of people who travel
0:42.6	thousands of miles who never experience those things. And there are other people who travel five
0:47.5	minutes away from their home. And if you feel fundamentally uncomfortable and if you're trying
0:51.4	something different, I think that is so much of a travel
0:54.2	experience. I can't help myself, but I am always drawn to disruptors, people that aren't

1:07.8	is challenging some of the narrative around travel just by leading the community,
1:14.5	by having important conversations like the one we are sharing today. And we have a ton
1:19.1	going on in this interview segment. We talk about how her reconnecting with her family's
1:25.2	heritage and learning Portuguese led to a life of travel,
1:29.8	how to lead a community and create a safe space for others. We discussed the narrative around
1:37.2	solo female travel and why she believes what you see out there is not necessarily a comprehensive
1:43.7	look at the entire travel experience.
1:47.5	She is also going to be giving away two free tickets to a festival they have coming up in New Orleans.

1:57.0	So much going on in this interview.
