Travel is about conscious journeys and decisions about tourism, which seek to respect and preserve local environments, cultures, and economies. Sustainable tourism is the solution in which tourism is conducted over a long period without adversely impacting natural and cultural environments. Today, we're gonna learn how a journey to Guatemala has led Christine’s guest, Chelsea Glass to where she is now. Some of the things that really resonated with Christine and why she wanted to have Chelsea on the podcast is because Chelsea is so passionate about responsible and sustainable travel and really believes in the power of travel to improve local economies and break down barriers. In this conversation, Chelsea and Christine talk about how her first trip to Guatemala and her love of the Spanish language truly changed the course of her life. This deep passion Chelsea has comes through in this interview and in the experiences she offers in Guatemala and Latin America, and so much more!For full show notes and to access resources mentioned in this episode, head to https://www.lotussojourns.com/podcast-episodes/episode96Learn more about Lotus Sojourns and ways to be a part of the community here.Find Lotus Sojourns on Facebook, or join the Lotus Sojourns Collective, our FB community for like-hearted women.Follow us on Instagram: @lotussojourns or @souloftravelpodcastLOVE these conversations...support the production of this podcast by making a donation here! Credits.
