how much fun at the moment! Discuss the podcast episode about
time management.

24:47- Allie has been to 23 countries at 22 years old! Allie
explains how you can travel often without it being so expensive:
hostels!


28:51- Allie’s biggest mistake: doing touristy things. Don’t hire
a tour guide to take you places. Google before you go! Find
travel blogs! 

31:33- What has Allie learned from being “conned”? Allie does her
research more now before traveling to avoid getting “conned”
again. 


34:17- Allie met a lot of her friends online. Meeting women in
the area that you’re traveling to. It’s important to find women
who will have your back, especially when in foreign places.


47:37 – Learn what rituals Allie uses to stay grounded when she’s
not traveling. As a free bird who loves to travel, she also
realizes she needs routine and structure.


51:27 Recognizing that YOU can create your own happiness. Take
little pieces of things you love. Change your environment. Find
joy in the simple pleasures.


54:31- What is Allie really excited about? Graduating from
college soon! She will soon be working in the Dominican Republic
with high school youth.


57:30- What are the ingredients of a fulfilling life? Allie:
“Community. You need people around you who are going to push you
and make you think differently and experience the world through a
different lens. Let your cup run over with love. Have people in
your life that love you and lift you up, because if you don’t
have this- what do you have?”
