Feeling Blue? There’s a Trip for That!

Hey you,

We’ve all seen the memes reminding us to: “Catch flights, not feelings.” (I may or may not even have the t-shirt 😅)

And we all know there’s always that one person in the comments like, “You can’t just run from your problems.”

But what if… science says, actually, you can?

🧬 Studies show that chronic stress—whether from a toxic job, a difficult relationship, or an administration bombarding our news cycle with threats to our way of life every other minute—can lead to real-deal issues like adrenal fatigue, high cortisol, insomnia, hormonal imbalance, gut problems, and burnout-related depression. It’s real.

That’s where neuroaesthetics comes in. (Yep, that’s a thing - it’s the study of how beauty, movement, and novelty actually rewire the brain.) Researchers show that travel—especially the kind that exposes you to beauty, creativity, and new environments—can stimulate fresh dopamine, new perspectives, stronger emotional regulation, and deeper joy. Not just “feeling better”… actually being better.

👀 New environments stimulate the brain’s dopamine centers, reduce cortisol, and strengthen the prefrontal cortex (translation: better decision-making + less anxiety). You’re not escaping life—you’re recalibrating your nervous system.

So no, travel isn’t just a social media flex or bragging about a brand collab, for many it is the greatest form of medicine they know. A deeply healing, biological transformation that improves their lived experience in a very stressful reality.

That’s the kind of travel I believe in.

You may have noticed that over the past year or so I deleted a lot of my travel content. The online culture of how travel was being comodified stunk of capitalism, self-aggrandizing, and well, just plain misaligned values that gave me the ick— it didn’t reflect the why behind my passport stamps so I stopped participating.

These days, I’m popping back on the scene sharing the stories of how travel has changed me, healed me, and inspired me to build something that helps others get offline and touch some fkng grass.

And I’m bringing more purpose-driven-travel-folks along with me.

Meet a couple of our speakers from the upcoming Virtual Travel Summit:

🪴 Meet LaLa, a vibrant retiree who’s slow-traveling the world taking pottery classes with local artisans, one country at a time—for an entire year. She’s redefining what a fulfilling life looks like—on her own terms through immersion in culture and creativity. Goals!

🌅 Meet Becky, who set off on her own Eat-Pray-Love journey to process the grief of losing her daughter. She found healing in the quiet moments—watching sunsets in new cities, eating foods with new tantilizing spices, and rembering the beauty in life that still exists. She turned her experience into a pathway to help others during difficult times and now serves as an inspirational life coach and author helping others find their way back to themselves.

These are just two of 35+ speakers that will be at our upcoming summit, happening June 7–8 & 14–15.

🫶🏽 Tickets are donation-based (pay what feels right), and open to anyone craving a reset, a reminder, or a really good reason to dream up new possibilities for life.
