[00:00:02] Erica: Hello and welcome to Conversations for Curious Travelers, a Trip Scholars podcast. I'm your host, Erica Forrest, and I am so glad you're here. This show is for fellow lifelong learners who went to more deeply understand the cultures, histories, and natural wonders of our world, who are looking to connect more with themselves, their travel companions, and with the people that they meet on their journeys. 

[00:00:27] As a certified travel education coach and longtime educator, I created this podcast to help travelers like you make the most of one of life's greatest teachers, travel itself. In every episode, we explore how travel helps us learn more about the world and ourselves. You will hear inspiring stories, thoughtful conversations, and expert advice to help you enhance your own travel experiences. 

[00:00:54] Some episodes feature conversations with fellow travelers, thinkers, and guides who share their stories and the lessons that they've learned. Others offer tools and reflections from my own work as a travel educator and coach designed to help you deepen your own experiences. Here we're focused on how to travel with curiosity, connection, and depth wherever you go. We will explore activities, tools, and resources to enjoy before, during, and after a trip to enhance the experience and then to integrate what we've learned and how we've changed back into our lives. One of the reasons I named my business Trip Scholars is because scholars are both teachers and students, and I believe we all are. 

[00:01:38] That's why you'll hear from both travel professionals, educators, and everyday adventurers, each with their own stories and wisdom to share. We all have something to learn from one another. Whether you're dreaming of your next big adventure or looking for ways to find more meaning in everyday journeys, this show is for you. 

[00:01:59] New episodes drop every other week throughout the season, and you can listen wherever you get your podcasts. If you're someone who travels, not just to escape. But to grow, connect, and understand you are in the right place, my friend. If you are excited about the show, the best way to support it is by subscribing and sharing it with fellow curious travelers. 

[00:02:21] Your early support helps more people discover these conversations, and it means the world to me. So please follow now and join me on this journey. Until next time, curious Travelers.
