Travel Along With Laura
Join host Laura Lisensky as she explores the world! As much about storytelling as it is about travel recommendations, this podcast will immerse you in the sound and experience of discovering a place for the first time. Her travel style varies-sometimes its solo travel, sometimes its travel with kids, but you can always count on an adventure. Laura is a biology and environmental science teacher who strives to travel responsibly and dives into local foods, culture and experiences. She travels with her recorder, grabbing audio as she goes, never sure what will happen next- so you really are travelling along with her!

Mexico 3: Zapotec Temazcal Ceremony in Oaxaca: A Traditional Healing Experience
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Laura steps far outside her comfort zone to take part in a Zapotec temazcal ceremony in Oaxaca — an ancient sweat lodge ritual meant to cleanse the body, spirit, and mind. Guided by Yessica at Casa Las Máscaras, she experiences waves of heat, herbal cleansings, and powerful mantras that push her limits and open her to a new kind of spiritual connection. With honesty and humor, Laura shares how it felt to surrender to this intense ceremony and what she carried away from the experience. This episode offers a raw and personal look at how travel can transform us in unexpected, deeply human ways.
