In this episode of Soul of Travel, Season 6: Women's Wisdom + Mindful Travel, presented by @journeywoman_original, Soul of Travel listener and guest Tara Busch would like to share her favorite conversation with Lydia Dean of Go Philanthropic.

At twenty-nine, Lydia Dean left Florida with her husband John and young children for a life-changing global journey, eventually settling in Provence, France. Her humanitarian work took her through India, Asia, and Latin America, leading to the creation of GoPhilanthropic Travel and GoPhilanthropic Foundation, connecting travelers with grassroots changemakers worldwide. Her two memoirs, Jumping the Picket Fence and Light through the Cracks, chronicle her experiences from living in Provence to working with human trafficking survivors in Nepal and India. Today, she and John run Only Provence and Provence Life while continuing their philanthropic work.

Christine and Lydia discuss:

· Why we seek powerful travel experiences

· How to give back in the most beneficial way while we travel

· The possibility that the most powerful parts of the Journey may be before and after we travel

· Truth, vulnerability, and connection for powerful change

Join Tara and Christine for this soulful replay with Lydia Dean.
