After adding the service of producing and editing podcasts for clients (if you didn't know... now you know), I finally decided it was time to make one of my own.

And it had to be about travel.

Not because I'm chasing passport stamps or checking destinations off a list, but because talking about travel is one of my favorite ways to connect with people. Ask someone about a trip they'll never forget, and watch what happens. Their face lights up. Their energy shifts. They remember details they haven't thought about in years.

The stories are rarely just about the destination. They're about the wild landscapes that leave us speechless, the meal we'll spend years trying to recreate, the unexpected detour that becomes the highlight of the trip, and - time and time again - the stranger who appears at exactly the moment they're needed most.

Those stories remind me that we're more connected than we sometimes believe. That stepping beyond what's familiar expands not only our view of the world, but also our understanding of ourselves.

That's why I created Meander & Muse.

Travel is the entry point and then the conversation meanders from there.
