In this solo episode, I continue to recount my America trip around New England, focusing on my time in the super cute town of Woodstock, Vermont and including several of my day trips to places like Wilmington, Hogback Mountain, Brattleboro, and more. I also tell you about all the cute spots I visited in Woodstock, and recount my Friday night trip to the Woodstock Town Hall Theatre to see local boys Troy Ramey and Bryan Frates, as well as my ill-fated car trip down off the super steep hill my Airbnb was perched on, which led to me getting completely and utterly stuck in a ditch… fun times!

In this solo episode, I tell you all about the next part of my USA travels this autumn, flying from Nashville to Newark, hanging out in New Jersey and New York City, and then getting the Amtrak train to White River Junction in Vermont. From there, I spent a couple of nights in a hotel, hired another car, explored the area, drove through the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire, visited several farms, and then headed to my Airbnb in the super cute town of Woodstock, Vermont. Oh, and the wheels fell off my suitcase. Yay travelling!

In this solo episode, I continue with my travel diary around the US in autumn/fall 2024. Having driven back from Pigeon Forge to Nashville, I checked into my Airbnb – The Best Man Cave ever – before heading on to see the show at the Grand Ole Opry for my birthday! I then headed to Broadway to have some drinks at the tourist bars, and went on a Drinkers & Thinkers walking tour/bar crawl, where I met some new friends! I also visited the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Hidden Bar at the Noelle (currently The Sandworm – a Beetlejuice Speakeasy), the Bobby Hotel (where Willie Nelson’s tour bus is on the roof!), Skull’s Rainbow Room in Printers Alley, and more!

In this solo episode, I take you through the first leg of my mostly solo trip to the USA in the autumn (or fall) of 2024 – a trip I’ve been waiting a long time to take! Follow me as I fly into Nashville, Tennessee, rent a car and drive to Pigeon Forge, head to Dollywood, go on a Pink Jeep Tour of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, attend the Dolly Parton Stampede dinner show, and get angry at some inconsiderate boy racers!

In this super quick quickie solo episode, I talk about my recent trip to Cambridge, to visit my friend Vicki and to attend two shows – a Little Big Town gig and Buffy Revamped. These shows – along with hanging out in the botanical gardens with plants and trees from all over the world, having lunch in an African restaurant, and listening to nostalgic playlists over dinner – helped transport me to different times and different places. It’s basically travel (or time travel) without actually having to go anywhere. As I embark on a big trip to the States, I want to remind people that, sometimes, they can have similar travel experiences by simply attending a gig or eating at a restaurant featuring cuisines from all over the world.

In this episode, I go off on a bit of a tangent on how we really can do anything we want (as long as we keep it legal, and no descending into The Purge, please!) – inspired by a meme and an Instagram reel. I also talk about Jamie Kern Lima’s phrase ‘You’re not crazy, you’re just first’ and how Jesse Cole of the Savannah Bananas (he of the yellow tux fame) inspired me to go out and do something different – with my Movify Your Life documentary.

In this episode, I tell you about my upcoming trip to the States (in particular, Nashville, Dollywood, and New England), and I discuss all the websites, apps, and tools I’ve been using to plan my epic itinerary – from Booking.com and Airbnb for accommodation, experiences, car hire, and airport transfers, to Facebook groups, Google Maps, Uncle ChatGPT, public transport companies, and individual town websites. It’s taken me months, but it’s going to be worth it!

In this episode, I talk about the pre-trip wiggins many of us feel right before going on a big trip, especially if it’s for a long time or if you’re travelling solo. This is the anxiety or overwhelm you might feel the day before or the morning of your flight, as well as the specific fears you might be experiencing to do with the trip itself. I also give you several things you can do to help conquer the pre-trip wiggins before your next adventure – or at least keep the wigging at bay!

In this episode, I bring you an interview I did on the wonderful Expand and Impact podcast with Violetta Znorkowski. During our conversation, we talk about all kinds of things, such as how easy it is to keep promises to other people but not necessarily to yourself, what our ancestors would think – especially our female ones – about all the opportunities we have now, and how we can use that as motivation to go out there and achieve awesome things, what ‘real life’ is in terms of society’s expectations (and how I don’t want any of that!), subjective versions of paradise, comfort zones and when to know to step out of them and when to know when to stop doing something that’s too uncomfortable, and so much more!

In this episode, I talk all about my recent weekend trip to Richmond, London, which I visited because I’m a HUGE Ted Lasso fan. The TV show ‘Ted Lasso’ (which ran for three seasons and is available on Apple TV Plus) tells the story of American football coach Ted, who comes over to the UK to coach a Premier League football team – fictional Richmond FC – with no idea what he’s doing. Full of humour and heart, Ted Lasso is an underdog story set in the beautiful London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, and when I found out that there’s a Ted Lasso walking tour in the area, I simply had to book a spot on it! I also wanted to film some footage for my Movify Your Life documentary – coming soon – which basically meant making a fool of myself in public as I was surrounded by locals and Ted Lasso fans! Hear all about my trip that I took with my brother Dave, the meal we had in the Ted Lasso pub, and the tour itself in this Ted Lasso-filled episode!

In this episode, I discuss the brilliant, hilarious, and joyful dynamic duo, magicians and comedians Siegfried & Joy from Berlin, Germany. I recently went to see their show at the MAC (Midlands Arts Centre) in Birmingham, when they were getting ready for their shows at the Glastonbury Festival, and I had a great time! Incorporating magic with humour and a lot of razzle dazzle, these guys are as lovely as they are entertaining – you only have to look at their Instagram or TikTok profiles, or watch their audition for America’s Got Talent, to see this for yourself. My mission when I went to their Birmingham show was to meet them and get a little bit of footage for my upcoming Movify Your Life documentary – and I took a GIANT foam sign with me too, hoping to waggle it in their direction.

In this episode, I discuss the types of work trips you can incorporate into your travels if you don’t want to be a full-time digital nomad. Whether you can work remotely from anywhere, have a passion project you want to work on, or want to hit a certain deadline with your business, short trips – booked in advance – could be the way to go. In this solo ep, I discuss my past workations, writing retreats, and trips I’ve booked to help with accountability in my work, whether it’s to get a certain amount of my next book written, to film courses for my website, or to work with friends in a more relaxed – but encouraging – environment. It’s all about getting inspired and being productive while having a nice change of scenery. Hear how I’ve incorporated travel and work on a smaller basis and get inspired to do the same! ----- Follow Jessica on Instagram @traveltransformationcoach and check out her website at https://www.traveltransformationcoach.com Get your free Travel Transformation Guide at https://traveltransformationcoach.com/transformationguide Join the Flip The Script Travel Transformation Academy at https://traveltransformationcoach.com/academy Check out Jessica’s books at https://traveltransformationcoach.com/books Email Jessica at info@traveltransformationcoach.com If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review and share with a friend!
In this episode, I discuss Grant Cardone’s season of Undercover Billionaire on Discovery Plus, as well as the ‘behind the scenes’ series he did on YouTube, where he breaks down everything he did – and why – when he was dropped off in Pueblo, Colorado with just $100 and tasked with starting a million-dollar company in 90 days. Being the ‘10 X’ guy, however, Grant was aiming for $10 million. Hear how he did in the show, and why I think it’s a great idea for a self-development/business exercise that we can all do!

In this episode, I talk about my recent trip to Cambridgeshire, where I was house sitting with my friend Caitlin. We looked after three lovely dogs and a lovely cat, and while we were working the whole time, we did manage to get out and do some touristy stuff – as well as meeting up with some friends for food, drink, and punting.
