APPLE – SPOTIFY – STITCHER
Amie Watson is a journalist, blogger, and podcaster with a wealth of knowledge from her many adventures around the globe. Her blog, multiculturiosity.com, chronicles her adventures with recipes, restaurant reviews, and her recommendations for all things travel.
We discuss the importance of travel with reflections back on her most recent trip to Turkey before the Covid-19 pandemic. Through her amazing trip through the country, Amie saw a few of her own misconceptions about the culture, but discovers how her curiosity and “Yes” mentality helped uncover the food traditions of the regions she explored.
Amie explains how people’s misconceptions hold them back from more discoveries and more experiences. These stereotypes, even in your own city, can lead us in the wrong direction making poor travel decisions and food selections.
Travel is such an intricate part of personal growth that no one should limit themselves on how and what to explore.
Listen more in this episode to learn about Amie’s own experiences in this area and how her trip to Turkey was a life-changing experience.
