I Was Featured on the Travel Tales Podcast
I am so excited to share that I was recently featured as a guest on the Travel Tales Podcast with Mike Siegel and the episode is now live!
This conversation was a special one for me. It gave me the chance to reflect on where my travel journey truly began, from a teenage trip that quietly changed the direction of my life, to visiting nearly 100 countries, to building Travel With Mkay into what it is today.
What this episode is about
In this episode, Mike and I talked about:
- How one trip as a teenager opened my eyes to life beyond what I knew
- What it has looked like to keep choosing travel, growth, and possibility over the years
- What visiting nearly 100 countries has taught me about the world and about myself
- Why I now help others travel with more confidence, clarity, and support
This is more than a conversation about destinations. It is a conversation about fear, freedom, identity, and what becomes possible when you say yes to experiences that stretch you.
Why this matters to me
Travel has never been just about movement for me. It has been about expansion, learning to trust myself in unfamiliar places, discovering how big the world really is, and realising that so much of what holds people back is not a lack of ability but a lack of support, guidance, and belief.
That is why I do the work I do today. Through Travel With Mkay, I help people, especially women and first-time travellers, move with more confidence and make travel feel possible, personal, and real.
