Episode 86: Mindful. Adventure. Travel

Author: Mike Schibel, Travel With Meaning July 28, 2022 Duration: 47:49
Hello Travelers,
 
This episode was recorded on location in Montana as part of a  mindful adventure travel experience with Recal Travel.
 
This was a unique experience as part of Recal's quiet park series in Glacier National Park. The adventure included breath work, yoga, meditation, walks in nature, camping, cold dips, s'more making and connecting with other like-minded travelers. 
 
In this episode we'll meet the Founder of Recal Travel Anthony Lorubbio to learn where the idea came from to launch mindful adventure travel experiences. We'll hear some of the sounds of nature, the quietness of Kintla Lake, deemed one of the quietest places on earth by Quiet Parks International and hear from the trip coach, Scott Stone as well other participants on the adventure.
 
Travel With Meaning is a huge advocate for shared experiences in nature as a way to connect with ourselves, others and nature.  The recalibration that comes from taking time to pause is a gift we could all benefit from.  If you're interested in any future trips with Recal Travel use the code TWM and if you find other shared experiences in nature that fill you up please share them with us and use the #Travelwithmeaning when something moves, touches, and inspires you.
 
 

Mike Schibel sits down with a fascinating array of guests on Travel With Meaning, but the destination is rarely the main point. Instead, this podcast explores the profound personal shifts that happen when we step outside our familiar surroundings. Each conversation delves into a specific journey-whether it’s a life-altering pilgrimage, a chaotic business trip that sparked a new idea, or a simple vacation that unexpectedly clarified a career path. You’ll hear from artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, and seasoned travel experts, but the focus remains on the transformative moment, the insight gained, or the connection made that reverberated long after the suitcase was put away. Schibel, founder of Travel With Meaning, guides these discussions with a genuine curiosity, allowing his guests to unpack not just their itineraries but the emotional and professional baggage they carried with them. The stories reveal how travel acts as a catalyst, reshaping identities, forging unexpected creative directions, and offering a new lens on one’s place in the world. Listening feels like being part of an intimate, thoughtful dialogue where the map of a life is redrawn by the roads taken. This isn't about recommendations or tips; it's about the lasting imprint of a place on a person. The podcast consistently uncovers how the world, in all its diverse complexity, has a way of teaching us exactly what we need to learn, often when we least expect it.
