Christine knows travel is one of the best things of life in spite of all of its challenges. Whether you are traveling within your own city or around the world. Learn the art of serendipity, enjoy the journey, and tackle problems one at a time.
Maybe you cannot get out there and find serendipity, but you can cultivate a mindset that accepts boldness, openness, and whimsicality.
There are a lot of great things planned but the joys of traveling are spontaneous events that cannot be structured in a schedule. For the modern traveler, serendipity is that one thing that every journey needs, yet nobody can plan.
Every travel story needs a plot twist: an accident, an accident of fate, a lucky twist that leads to a new world.
Today’s guest is Patricia Schultz. Patricia is the author of the #1 New York Times best seller 1000 Places to See Before You Die, and 1000 Places to See in the United States and Canada Before you Die. Most recently she is the author of Why We Travel.
For years Patricia Schultz has been telling us where to travel. Now, in telling us why to travel, she reveals what makes travel such a richly rewarding experience.
