This is a ‘before and after’ story about travel transformation. It is about overcoming worry and fear while catching the travel bug. In this travel podcast episode, you will hear the story of Tristanne Endrina, who wanted to travel and explore the world. Despite the well-meaning worry advice from family and friends, she overcame her own fears then did it.
With Guatemala in Central America as her “first adult passport stamp”, Tristanne shares her three favorite travel experiences in Guatemala such as hiking up a volcano to roast marshmallows, a thrilling zipline tour, and surprise restaurant experience. It’s a story of how she discovered empowerment and confidence through travel, plus what she changed in her life when she returned home. This Women Travel podcast episode also has reflective advice from Tristanne to her pre-travel self and to other women who are thinking about taking an international trip but may be too worried or afraid to try.

“Travel has been kind of a part of my soul, it just needed to get out.”
“I’ve heard horror stories of people getting kidnapped and there are movies out there you know about women getting kidnapped and whatnot and being sold scary stuff. Yeah sure I had that fear.”
“When I was in Antigua just walking down those cobblestone roads and seeing all these old buildings, it was just very fascinating for me to see their culture.”
“It was a very humbling experience seeing how people live with not much and it gave me more appreciation for what I had.”
