Are you an intentional traveler? Have you given this idea any thought? I have connected with Susie Chau, a creative go-getter in the travel world.\u00a0 She helps Entrepreneur Moms take month-long summer sabbaticals and consistent vacations to strengthen family bonds through travel. Susie and I met over eight years ago at a conference, but I saw a recent video of hers on Instagram. I loved what she was saying and knew I had to ask her to come on Travel Connections!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As a travel expert, Susie Chau&#8217;s perspective on intentional travel is unique and inspiring. A Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveler Top Travel Specialist since 2021 and a Certified Travel Designer by the Transformational Travel Council, she brings a wealth of experience to the table. Her journey began in 2016 when she founded <em>Carpe Diem Traveler<\/em> after a year-long sabbatical to all seven continents with her husband.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12163 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adventuresofemptynesters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Susie-Jumping-in-Svalbard-650x487.jpg\" alt=\"trave expert on adventure\" width=\"650\" height=\"487\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adventuresofemptynesters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Susie-Jumping-in-Svalbard-650x487.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.adventuresofemptynesters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Susie-Jumping-in-Svalbard-1024x767.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adventuresofemptynesters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Susie-Jumping-in-Svalbard-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.adventuresofemptynesters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Susie-Jumping-in-Svalbard-1536x1151.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.adventuresofemptynesters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Susie-Jumping-in-Svalbard-2048x1534.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.adventuresofemptynesters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Susie-Jumping-in-Svalbard-scaled.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 650px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 650\/487;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As Susie and I both believe, travel can be so much more than just an escape. It&#8217;s about relaxation, exploration, and, most importantly, personal growth.

And also, how can your travel be a positive experience for the places you go and the people you meet? Does every traveler realize how they contribute to a destination? These ideas about travel are so exciting and can bring a travel experience to an even higher level of enjoyment!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Come join in the conversation!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Highlights in this Episode!<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Why travel can be so much more than a means to escape<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What is transformational travel and the Transformational Travel Council?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How Susie created a course for entrepreneurial Moms<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Why should we travel with intention?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What does the acronym S.O.U.L stand for?
