Soooo—about last night's lodging in Telavi, Georgia...

The crew got to stay in one-of-a-kind rooms in the shape of traditional wine-making vessels called qvevris.

Qvevris are large, egg-shaped clay pots typically buried underground to ferment and age wine. But at Hotel Qvevrebi • სასტუმრო ქვევრები, they're just used for getting some zzz's.

Spent the afternoon last week in Ireland snuggling with 37 fluffy locals in Donegal. Thanks for having us Wild Alpaca Way!

I was paired up with Buttons, who's basically the middle management of their 37-alpaca operation. Not the boss, but definitely knows how to hold his own.

Our walk started with him refusing to move because he really had to p*e. For an uncomfortably long time.

Once we got past that, we wandered through Malin Head and Five Finger Strand, which are genuinely stunning. John McGonagle started this place in 2019 to keep the land in its original state, and it's working.

By the end, I'd bought a stuffed alpaca (don't judge) and somehow volunteered to hold three different alpacas while their humans shopped. Because nothing says "professional traveler" like being the designated alpaca wrangler.

Always a delight to see what kind of antics we get into at TBEX! 🦙

The fears are real. But so is the transformation on the other side.

When Andrea Andree felt the pull to go to Cuba solo, these three fears nearly stopped her cold:

😰 "What if something happens to me?"
😔 "I'm being selfish taking time for myself"
🤔 "No one can take care of my kids like I can"

Sound familiar?

But here's what she discovered after pushing through:
✨ Her kids were fine
✨ She returned MORE present, not less
✨ She modeled for her children that dreams matter

Andrea's truth bomb: "When I wasn't allowing myself to be me, 100% of my time I was sh*tty. After Cuba, I came back clear-headed and much more able to be present at home."

The most generous thing we can do for our families? Remain fully ourselves—adventures and all. 🌍

Swipe to see how Andrea reframed each fear →

🎉 IT'S LAUNCH DAY! 🎉

Back in 5th grade, I was voted "most likely to have their own talk show."

As the overly-empathetic shy kid who cried at everything and literally fainted at the thought of being in the spotlight (no joke), this felt impossible. But here's what 11-year-old me didn't know yet: I didn't want to be seen – I wanted to be heard.

When I started appearing on podcasts, I discovered something magical. It wasn't about how I looked – it was about what I had to say. After 30+ podcast appearances, it clicked: there's a world of difference between performing for cameras and having genuine, soul-stirring conversations with incredible humans.

This podcast has been 3+ years in the making. Three years of procrastination, fear, and honestly, zero time (I can barely unpack a suitcase, let alone launch a whole show). So many moments I talked myself out of it: "Does the world need another travel podcast?" "What if no one listens?" "Do I actually have time for this?"

Spoiler alert: I definitely don't have time for this. But some things are worth making time for.

Today, Type 2 Travel officially launches.

This isn't about me being the star – it's about creating space for amazing people to share their stories. The messy ones. The transformative ones. The ones that don't fit into Instagram squares.

We're diving into travel disasters that became favorite stories, moments that broke you open, and adventures that changed everything. No highlight reels, no "wanderlust" clichés – just honest conversations about how we become who we're meant to be through the places we go.

Episode 1, 2 and 3 drop today on all podcast platforms. Link in comments, or search "Type 2 Travel" on Spotify or Apple Music – we'll be the ones talking about questionable decisions and life-changing adventures.

Ready to find your people? Let's do this. 🎧

"My trips are designed to make you uncomfortable at some point." 😅

Real talk: If you haven't been uncomfortable at all on one of my trips, then maybe you haven't stretched or challenged yourself enough.

Here's the thing—I'm uncomfortable literally ALL THE TIME when I travel. But I've learned to work through it by asking myself: Is this a temporary feeling? Will it get better? Is this just a moment of discomfort that's actually helping me grow?

Because here's what I've discovered: The moments that make you squirm are often the ones that change you. The language barriers, the unfamiliar foods, the cultural differences that feel awkward at first—that's where the magic happens.

Type 2 Travel launches July 16th, and we're diving into exactly this kind of honest conversation about what real travel actually feels like (spoiler: it's not always Instagram-worthy).

Ready to get a little uncomfortable? That's where the best stories begin.
