The Travel Creator: Tips For Travel Influencers
The podcast for travel creators to learn smarter ways to use their content so they can save time and get back to traveling.
I'm your host Laura and I saw travel content creators spending way too much time on their content creation. I used my six years of digital marketing experience to create smarter ways for travel creators to use their content.
In this podcast you'll find tangible tips on how to trade your content time for travel time. We play the long game here! No 'get rich quick schemes' but real strategies you can implement to help you love your travel creator journey again and make it sustainable.
We officially launch Jan 11th 2024! Episodes are out every Thursday after.

Ever feel like you're traveling just to check off boxes—and missing the whole point? Same.
In today’s episode, we’re talking about slowing the heck down, building a travel lifestyle that actually feeds you, and being real about how tough routines are when you’re living on the road.
I brought on two of my favorite humans, Candace and Logan—van lifers, creators, and truly intentional travelers who’ve been doing this since before it was cool (yep, pre-#VanLife). We dive into what slow travel really means (hint: it’s not just staying longer), how they built their creative routines from the road, and how to avoid being “that” tourist when you post about tiny towns online.
✨ This episode is a love letter to living slower, consuming less, and being deeply rooted in how we show up as travelers.
We’re covering:
- The actual rules of intentional travel—no, really
- Why overposting can hurt local communities (and what to do instead)
- How to balance creating content without burning out
- Our favorite hippie routines (brushing your teeth with clay, anyone?)
- A brutally honest take on travel and routine while living in a van
- The books and tools that shaped how Logan & Candace travel today
