In this episode, Gregg and I chat about the unexpected moments that changed us in ways we never saw coming. We talk about how even the smallest connections with people have had a huge impact on our lives. We also dive into those stressful, exhausting travel days and how we managed to turn them around, shifting from frustration to an act of kindness travel day.

Our focus moved from just seeing museums and beautiful sights to really connecting with people. We share stories about the unique bonds we formed with incredible humans from all over the world, and how sometimes, it’s the simple, unspoken gestures—like a smile or a hug—that create the deepest connections.

We’ve learnt that home isn’t just a place with four walls; it’s about the connections we make and the relationships we build.

This episode is a celebration of the magic of travel and the beauty of connecting with others.
