Summary
What if you stopped planning trips based on what everyone else says you “have to see”… and started planning around how you actually want to feel? Instead of building trips around crowded checklists, we share how to reverse engineer your dream trip by focusing on personal preferences, meaningful experiences, and alignment. This conversation will shift how you think about travel planning! 🎙️ In this episode we talk about: What it means to “reverse engineer” your travel plans Why starting with how you want to feel changes everything How Nithya chooses destinations for worldschooling with her children Airbnb vs. hotels — how to decide based on trip length and goals Balancing planned activities with open space for spontaneity Why local walking tours are one of the best ways to connect with a place How to start with easier destinations, and when to push beyond your comfort zone Turning travel into growth instead of just a vacation Travel doesn’t have to be overwhelming or overly structured. When you plan intentionally, it becomes more meaningful, more aligned, and often more transformative. If you’ve been craving travel that feels purposeful, not just busy, this episode will help you rethink how you plan your next adventure.
