Danielle La Rose 1:03

So , dani , welcome to the show . Thank you so much for being here . How are you and how did you get ? Where did this start ? Were you like three years old and you're like you know what I'm going to do one day I'm going to be a hitchhiker and farm and do all this stuff and talk all about travel . How did this come about ?

Dani Rosenblad James 2:14

Well , it definitely wasn't like that . I actually wanted to be a veterinarian when I was little , okay , so this is quite different than that . Where did it all begin ? Oh , my , so my family . I have family all over the US , so I kind of grew up with going on road trips to visit them pretty regularly . So my passion for traveling was pretty much ingrained into me because we did it all the time and then when I turned , I think it was 23 . Yeah , 23 . I went to Peru because my friend invited me to meet him there . He's my husband now , but yeah . So he invited me on this trip and that was my first solo trip out of the country and I fell in love with travel from that trip .

Dani Rosenblad James 3:07

We did so many unique things . We learned how to fish with machetes and we caught eight fish . We stayed in the Amazons for three nights and this was during the rainy , rainy season , so we had to move our camp every night . We got to see cayman baby . It came in .

Dani Rosenblad James 3:31

Alligator crocodile , um , that our our tour guide . One of them just jumped in the water in the middle of the night and we're like pitch black . We're like what is happening . He comes in it back with a caiman and all I'm thinking is where's the mom ? Like what ? And yeah , so just , we had so many great experiences and crew and bolivia and I was my husband well , my friend at the time . He traveled with me for a week and then we went our solo way or so , yeah , solo ways and then I find out a couple years ago that he kept going out of his way to keep meeting up with me and I'm like , oh , I thought you were just kind of following the flow that everyone else at all these hostels was doing , going the same paths in a way . But yeah , that's what started my travel blog pretty much .

Danielle La Rose 4:36

Oh my gosh , I love that it's it's a travel adventure At the same time as , like your love story that I was not aware of when we were hopping on . It's like so that's so fun , so from there . So that's how it all started , right , and since then , tell us more about like your experiences . And I mean , you could have easily just been like , oh , I enjoy traveling and so I travel , but you chose to start a blog about this . How did that come about ? Like , what made you make that decision to really to put that out into the world ?

Dani Rosenblad James 5:06

Well , initially , the travel blog was more like a personal journal online , because I didn't want to travel with a book , with all the other things I had when I was traveling , because at that time , being my first time out of the country alone , I overpacked . I had a huge backpack that I would bring everywhere and it was full of so much unnecessary clothes and unnecessary items and things and it's like , oh , I can't add a book to that as well . And , yeah , I think it was a friend that pointed that out to me that I could do that . So then I started it and then over time , I realized , wait , I could turn this into something else . I could turn this into where I can help people learn more about all the places I've been to and experiences and inspire them to want to travel , to overcome obstacles in life and go forward Stuff like that , yeah were you ever ?

Danielle La Rose 6:04

Have you ever found yourself or maybe it was like at the beginning or just anytime like fearful hesitant about traveling that you had to overcome ? Or have you always just been like it's fine , it'll all work out , I'll go by myself , it's totally okay uh .

Dani Rosenblad James 6:21

So I definitely have had some second thoughts a lot of times . But I have this thing where I always follow my gut and if my gut saying it's okay , even though it's an uncomfortable , I'd like to get out of my comfort zone too . So that's helpful with traveling , because there's always going to be the unknown , like what's going to happen . You can't have every moment planned out , yeah , and if you did , it would take away the whole experience .

Danielle La Rose 6:51

Yeah , I love that , though , like you know , trusting your gut . You know , for you it's for travel , but for a lot of people it's so many different things right that we get fearful and hesitant . We don't know what's going to happen , and so that stresses us out . But if we just take a second to listen to our gut , it won't steer us wrong . And , like you said , it's good to get uncomfortable , like in a safe way , but it's , you know , it's good to get uncomfortable and push yourself and to have those . You won't ever have those experiences if you don't do that Right , so I love that . Um , okay , so I mentioned in the intro that you have had a traumatic brain injury . That's powerful and I'm sure has affected lots of different things , so share with us a little bit about that .

Dani Rosenblad James 7:39

That actually happened . I think it was six months or so after my trip to Peru and Bolivia . Um , and I was on black ice in Wyoming . So I'm originally from South Dakota and I was driving to California to go to work and I was driving through Wyoming on that was black ice . Visibility was less than a mile . I all I remember is going , oh no , looking forward and seeing cars piled up , and so it was an eight , uh seven car pile up and I was the last one there and I guess , automatically I tried I can't remember that I was like I blacked out , but I guess I must have tried spiraling out of the way or going to the right or something , and then I clipped another one of the vehicles and spun out of control . Um , so I ended up getting a gash in my head

Overcoming Traumatic Brain Injury and Travel

Dani Rosenblad James 8:42

from that .

Dani Rosenblad James 8:42

I think I had four concussions um bruised , um in the brain , two different spots and yeah , so it was pretty bad . But on that side , since it was so cold , I didn't lose that much blood , so I didn't have to have a blood infusion . So that's good . So I didn't have to have a blood infusion , so that's good . Always finding the positive , yeah . And then the sheriff that found me . He said that was the worst he's ever seen his whole working his career and he was going to be retiring in a couple of weeks or so and , yeah , I had to be helicoptered to Salt Lake City , utah , from there . And , yeah , I had to be helicoptered to Salt Lake City , utah , from there and intensive care unit for over 10 days had to relearn how to walk , how to use my brain . So it was . It wasn't just a little , oh , you had a traumatic brain injury , it was like it was a pretty big one .

Danielle La Rose 9:42

Yeah , I mean you were flown to a different state there for 10 days . Like this is . I mean this is impactful . So what did you do ? So again , you , as you mentioned , you know you're learn , relearning how to walk and do the things . What , how did that ? How did that shift your life or shift your mindset , or did it ?

Dani Rosenblad James 10:05

Oh yeah , 100% . I realized where I was in my life . I didn't want to be , I didn't want to be alone and I was pretty much just living just to party all the time . I didn't think anything about my future . And then , once this happened afterwards , I was like what am I doing ? Why am I doing just these little things when I feel like I could do so much more in the world and there's so much more I want to do ? And then I realized I want to still , I want to travel , I want to see the world , I want to make some kind of impact on people's lives and , yeah , that's where I am today .

Danielle La Rose 10:43

So , okay , no , sister , we can't just jump to . That's where I am today . No , no , no . Okay . So traumatic brain injury . We're in the hospital , we're doing the things and then we say you know what there's more to life ? I want to make a bigger impact , I want to travel , I want to see the world , I want to make a difference . No-transcript Like what did you do ?

Dani Rosenblad James 11:14

wow it . It was super hard because I'm a I'm a hard-working woman . I'm used to working in fields and doing like eight to ten hour jobs , like every day or something like that . Well , after my accident I couldn't work more than an hour , my body would be in full pain and it was my friend who's my husband that saved me from myself . He could see that I was overworking and he would force me to go back to the house and rest and watch movies or something and he'd go and work . And then he would find me hidden working in the fields and stuff and be like , do , do , do , do , do , go back to bed . And then it was after that we actually realized that we loved each other and did the whole thing and all that stuff . And yeah , but yeah that stuff .

Danielle La Rose 12:04

No , big deal , it's fine .

Dani Rosenblad James 12:07

But he's a huge reason that I am where I am today , because he helped me realize that I need to take care of me . I can't just be like my old self where , oh , I can just go full force forward . No , I had to listen to my body to heal , and that's a huge reason that I've gotten to where I am , even though it was just so hard . The first two years I didn't feel like myself , and that's pretty long time not to feel like yourself . Yeah .

Danielle La Rose 12:42

So how did it move then ? So it was a few months before that situation where you had just gone on this trip and you guys went as friends and then we moved into . We had this serious event . And then you said I want to be a new human not new human , but I want to pursue more and do more . And then he said you got to stop working so much . We're not doing that . You need to rest , listen to your body . It took you a couple of years , right , to get back to feeling like yourself . So from then , how did you ? Where did you go with traveling ? I mean your whole life . Now , right Is traveling . It's talking about travel . It's helping people with travel . What did you ? How did you ? What was your next step then ? Did you go on another trip or what happened ?

Dani Rosenblad James 13:28

So let's see , we were on our honeymoon and our honeymoon was a six month road trip in the U ? S well , that's cool . Yeah , so that was a six month road trip in the US Well , that's cool . Yeah , so that was a great way to experience it and work on helping my body . We had our two cats and our dog with us , and the first hike that I went on after my accident was very impactful as well .

Dani Rosenblad James 13:57

We did Yosemite National Park and I did one of the hikes there . That was up into the waterfalls , and I think the hike was supposed to last maybe four or so hours . It took me 12 hours to do because I was in so much pain and my head would be pounding and I'd have oh , I'd be just in tears and it was my mantra that helped is slow and steady wins the race . And then , as well as passing all the people oh , they were so supportive They'd be like , oh , you're so close , you're doing great . Because they could see that I was struggling with tears down on my face and my husband and my dog they were . I told them just to go ahead , so they went and then they came back to check on me . And then they came back , they went up with me but , yeah , that was very impactful and that view it was probably one of the best views I ever seen because of what I had to overcome to get to it .

Danielle La Rose 15:04

I want to take a second because that is an important thing that we all get to remember , that you said the view was just amazing because of what it took to get there . Like I'm sure the view would have been amazing regardless right , it would have been great . But it was a different feeling for you because you had to go through hard stuff , like most people . Sister , if you would have been like , oh , it's going to take you 12 hours to get up this and your head's going to be pounding and all this stuff , I'd be like I need to go , I'm going to go take a nap . That sounds so hard , but it was important to you and because of that , when you finally made it there and again number one , you didn't give up . But , number two , you made it to the top and you're like this was worth it . Right , like this view is beautiful because I worked so freaking hard to get here and I didn't give up . Like that's a powerful , important reminder for all of us when we go through hard times , that like , if it's important and we make it to the top , it's going to be so freaking beautiful . Thank you for sharing that . I love

Travel Tips for Budget Conscious Individuals

Danielle La Rose 16:06

that . Okay .

Danielle La Rose 16:06

So listen , I , you know you and I are new friends and so I just got on this call and you're like , no , I don't live near you . It's like so many hours I'm ahead of you , I'm ready for bed and I'm like full of energy here . I'm like , yeah , let's go , cause it's like middle of the day for me . So tell us a little bit more about different places . So you've done six months , you went here , you did this , you got married . So you've done lots of things . Tell us , are there other places that you've been where you're like this was the most , other than those that you just told us , because those are really freaking powerful . But is there anywhere else where you're like this was a place ? This was a powerful part of my journey , of like travel um , there's a few , let's see .

Dani Rosenblad James 16:51

I really enjoyed when we visited northern Greece . You know , when people think of , they always think of all the white buildings and the beaches and Athens and the ruins . Well , northern Greece is amazing . They have Vicos there , it's a gorge they have Papingo pools those are amazing . And then they have all of these arch bridges . Like we went on a little road trip and ventured and saw all these beautiful arch bridges that were spread out . And we also tried to do Mount Olympus , which is northern Greece , is northern Greece . Although we couldn't really do that with a rental vehicle . It was like going straight up and we're like , uh , sort of kind of rolling back . We're like , okay , maybe we need to go back because it was like the time of the season , we couldn't really hike it . It wasn't very uh , very uh smart decision if we would have tried so northern Greece , greece .

Danielle La Rose 17:56

So do you , do you all try to do more like non traditional type travel or like you're saying ? You know people typically go to like certain areas the white buildings , the whatever and you you're kind of like , no , we're gonna go somewhere different . Do you do that often ? Or kind of a mixture ?

Dani Rosenblad James 18:17

I think , since I have my son , it's kind of turned more into a mixture , like this last trip that we did , we went to France and Belgium and these . The reason we did these trips was because we were meeting up with some of my friends in France because they were going to a wedding . So France was never really on a radar , especially Paris because it's so touristy . So we tried it out and , yeah , there's a lot of people and I definitely like staying a little farther away and more into the nature places of the countries . Yeah so , but we tried it so yeah , I love that .

Danielle La Rose 18:55

And now you live where In Sweden , and how do you enjoy Sweden ?

Dani Rosenblad James 19:02

Oh , it's one of the best places for nature , so I'm in the right place , yeah yeah , I love that .

Danielle La Rose 19:08

I've never been to Sweden , so if people who are listening right , I know , because for me when I talk to people about traveling and stuff , they're always thinking , oh , I wish I could do that , I wish I could go to these different places , I want to go see these different places . What would you say to people who maybe are putting like travel on the back burner or , you know , really want to see it , but you know , financially they're like , oh , that seems so expensive and I don't know if I can do it . Like do you have maybe it's on your blog , but like different tips and strategies or things that you would share with people who are kind of in that mindset ?

Sustainable Travel Tips and Inspiring Stories

Dani Rosenblad James 19:45

So if you're in that mindset , what you need to do is be like what , what's stopping you ? Isn't it yourself ? Like , are you the one that's saying , oh no , I can't do this because of blah , blah , blah . Okay , if it's money , you need to make kind of a list for yourself and then be like , oh , how much would this cost ? Do some research . Like there are a lot of ways to save money .

Dani Rosenblad James 20:07

I mean , they have couch surfing out there . They have workaways where you can work on someone's farm , or you can work on someone's property and do whatever for so many days , for so many hours out of a day or something . There are so many different ways around it . I found out that they have what is it redeemed vacation , where I'm not really sure how it works , but they make it where you can stay at hotels at a cheaper price . There are a bunch of different businesses out there now that are trying to help people travel and make it more affordable in some way , and I also like this that they're working more on making a sustainable travel for people . So that's always good .

Danielle La Rose 20:51

Okay , so tell us more about that . What do you mean by sustainable travel ?

Dani Rosenblad James 20:55

So that means that they're trying to be more eco friendly , they're trying to care more eco-friendly , they're trying to care more about the environment . So , like , a lot of tourist companies are starting to , they're noticing that people are starting to care about that and , um , there's even like the airplanes and the big air company , uh , flight companies they are also trying to make less of a footprint on our sorry , on our world as well . So it's really good to hear this .

Danielle La Rose 21:28

Yeah , so those of us that are like , okay , yes , I want to help the world , I want to , you know , be more sustainable , things like that , especially with travel , what would you encourage them to do ? Are there things or experiences that you've had that is like right up the alley ?

Dani Rosenblad James 21:45

of that ? Well , 100% , they should have their own water bottle , like you don't need a plastic water bottle . You have a metal water bottle or one that's reusable . That's like so easy to do and it makes so much of a difference . Then you can also have like snacks with you and reusable bags and things that you know that you don't have to just throw away . Try to stay away from plastic . You can use , have a wooden spoon or fork or spork with you or something like that . There are , yeah , there's loads of different , just little things here and there that you or something like that there are . Yeah , there's loads of different , just little things here and there that you can easily do . That just works .

Danielle La Rose 22:24

Yeah , and I love that you share that , because you know , for me , my mind , thinking about like you traveling and doing all these big cool trips and stuff , like I thought I was thinking like , okay , what is a big picture thing that I can do for sustainable travel ? And you started out with just a water bottle . I'm like , okay , yeah , I do that . Like that's , you know , like that's part of like everyday life , but that's something to consider , like when traveling , because , again , people when they're traveling , they do pick up just bottle water and things like that . So I love that you started like so simple , like it's not like this big grandiose thing , it's , it's the simple little things that sometimes seem insignificant but make a really big difference . So what is one of your ultimate and maybe you've already covered it , so if you did , then I'll ask a different question You're like your favorite trip of all time ?

Dani Rosenblad James 23:18

I still think that would have to be my Peru trip , the very first one . Yeah , just because it was . Oh man , we did so many things on that trip . It was like for a month and a half we were traveling Well , I was doing the whole separate and then meeting up thing . So then we did the Amazon that I told you about earlier .

Dani Rosenblad James 23:37

There we got to hang out with a bunch of locals and we got to meet a shaman . We got to try out ayahuasca , yeah . So we had a whole lot of different experiences there . We learned that coca leaves , um , are very common to use there to help give them energy and help them with the um elevation . Uh . So I also went into one of the most dangerous mines and that was in bolivia . That was pretty crazy and yeah . So there's , there's loads of just experiences . In that one trip . I went into one of the hot springs that was for locals and it had some legendary stories behind it which made it really interesting . It was I can't remember exactly all of it anymore , but it's still Ojo del that . I can't even remember the name .

Danielle La Rose 24:40

That's okay , I , you know it's . It's really awesome Because again that was like your first trip that kind of led to all of this , but again it wasn't necessary . I love that you always go back to the culture , right , Like meeting the locals and doing things that they do and like really embracing where you are and really being open and wanting to understand , like you know , why people there do what they do , and getting to eat their food and doing those things and not just going just to see beautiful places or lay on the beach or whatever , which , hey , no , no judgment . If you like to go and just lay on a beach , you'd go lay on a beach . But you know , no judgment . If you like to go and just lay on a beach , you'd go lay on a beach . But I really love that for you it's like this whole cultural experience and that's really inspiring .

Danielle La Rose 25:31

And one of the things that , before I jump into rapid fire , is I wanted to point out , because you've mentioned a couple times of solo trips and I just find that so powerful for , especially for women , I know that many women would be hesitant and fearful of going on a solo trip by themselves and you know there's many of us who going to eat dinner by ourselves sounds scary , right Like we don't want to go out in public and do things alone . And here you are , traveling the world on your own , and that is just a powerful message of I got this , I can do this on my own and experience things , and I experience things and I don't need someone else . It's great to have someone else , right , but I just love that you go about your life and and and do it for you .

Dani Rosenblad James 26:27

Well , yeah , I think what's the point of being scared ? Then you always have that regret like why didn't I do that and what's what's the point of that ? I mean , yes , you're a solo female , but if you get in a situation where you feel uncomfortable , what you need to be is confident . In that situation , don't look scared , just be confident and be like I got this Because you know , when you get in those situations and they can see you're scared , it usually is not going to be any

Empowerment Through Solo Travel and Self-Care

Dani Rosenblad James 26:58

good . Yeah , yeah .

Danielle La Rose 27:00

But even just the simple decision that I'm going to go on a trip by myself yeah , that well they have .

Dani Rosenblad James 27:09

Sorry , go ahead , they have so many things out there . Now there's that group called greet her and it's actually created by a woman that has it , where she has connections with women worldwide that you can meet . If you go solo to like , let's say , you go to UK solo , you can meet up with a person there , another female , and tell her what activities and everything you want to do . So I mean this a huge way of just traveling solo , where you don't fully have to be solo once you get to your destination .

Danielle La Rose 27:42

I love that . That's so cool . I didn't know that that existed . That's super cool Again . So , like you said , like you don't have to feel alone , but again just making the decision to do something for yourself by yourself , like that , not only do you need the confidence to do that , but also I can't imagine how much confidence that builds for you , that like I'm out here doing this by myself like homegirl . Yes , I love it so good . All right , are you ready for just a couple fun , quick , rapid fire questions ? Okay , okay , um . You can only have one meal for the rest of your life . What do you choose ? You ?

Dani Rosenblad James 28:22

can only have one meal for the rest of your life . What do you choose ?

Danielle La Rose 28:24

Oh my , gosh , that'd be vegetarian burritos . Ooh , do you make them yourself or do you have a favorite place ? I make them myself . Oh , look at you . All fancy , I love it .

Dani Rosenblad James 28:38

Um , okay , what's one movement or exercise that you enjoy that makes you feel powerful ?

Danielle La Rose 28:42

Oh man , I think that would have to be the plank , the one most people don't like .

Dani Rosenblad James 28:47

Yeah , that's probably why it makes me feel powerful .

Danielle La Rose 28:51

Yes , I love that answer so much . All right , um , who's one powerful woman that has inspired you in your life ?

Dani Rosenblad James 29:00

Oh man , I have not ever thought of this question before . That's okay . Um oh no , I don't think I'm gonna have an answer for you forever , that's okay .

Danielle La Rose 29:12

That's okay . Um , okay , we'll move on to the next one . What is a daily or consistent habit that helps you step more into your confidence ?

Dani Rosenblad James 29:21

Oh , that'd be my self care routine that I do daily .

Dani Rosenblad James 29:29

Oh , did you do , you want some detail , I kind of do oh , all right , so I start my day After dropping off my son . I usually go on my daily walk in the forest that we have outside and then on that I do my visualizations . Then I I'm on top of for a whole day . I'm on top of drinking a water a gallon of water a day and watching what I eat , and then I have affirmations . So I usually start the day off with the affirmations where I'm like saying you're worth it , you are beautiful , and I say this in a mirror , which of course at the beginning feels a little strange . But after a while you're like yes , and then you get pumped up and you're like , yes , thank you you . And you're like , yeah , no , thank you you .

Danielle La Rose 30:15

That's the best . That's like your main morning routine , self-care routine . Huh , that's good , that's so good . Um , okay , do you have a song that makes you feel powerful ?

Dani Rosenblad James 30:30

Oh , I just blame him the name of the song .

Danielle La Rose 30:32

Now , that's okay , I'm feeling good , I'm feeling good , I'm feeling good , I love it All right , um , okay , if there was , I'll end with this one . If there was one powerful piece of advice that you could leave for women around the world , what would it be ?

Dani Rosenblad James 30:48

Stay positive . I mean the world . It's not worth it to be negative or anything like yeah , you could be having a really rough day or obstacles in your life , but if you stay positive , you're going to see the good stuff instead of all the bad .
