Episode 39: Getting Out of Your Comfort Zone through Travel
<p>In this solo episode, Liz shares about navigating an uncertain life moment and confronting that fear of the unknown. How can travel sharpen these life skills on the road and at home? We dig into that in this episode. Travel provides the ultimate opportunity to get out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself. From immersing yourself in a new culture and language to confronting travel hassles, ‘scary’ adventure activities that awaken bravery, or swallowing your ego to become a student again and learn a new skill, the willingness to be vulnerable and adopt a growth mindset is key. We also discuss how travel sharpens your people skills, makes you more present, and helps you cultivate embracing change and uncertainty when it inevitably comes your way. </p> <p><p><i>You can learn more about Liz Caskey Culinary & Wine Experiences and the trips we offer in food, wine, culture, design & beyond at </i><a href="https://www.lizcaskey.com"><i><strong>www.lizcaskey.com</strong></i></a><i> </i></p><p> </p><p><i>You can also sign up for our free weekly newsletter announcing new episodes, wine recommendations, travel intel, and much more.
