Hey Podfest Peeps!
It’s Laura here with Amidlife Traveler and I’m looking to for some great short travel stories to share. If you’re interested in being featured on a future episode, we’re looking for personal travel stories to share. The topics we are currently seeking stories on are below, each recording is limited to 5 minutes. As we go through the recordings to produce episodes, we’ll reach out if your story is featured and at that time make more detailed bio.
The type of stories we are looking for are positive stories of travel… how travel has impacted your life in positive ways, and great travel/vacation experiences. “Amid Life” = translates to being in the midst of life. Awareness, recognition and enjoyment of the present and the things around you. We believe this applies to fantastic life and vacation experiences and are looking for personal stories that exemplify this.
Thanks for being part of this journey and if
