We absolutely love our conversation with the Founder of the Storied Experience, Samantha Hardcastle. Samantha is a remarkable creative in the tourism and hospitality space who brings a unique perspective to the art of storytelling. This episode definitely left us inspired and ready to take our next trip!

Instead of diving into a specific destination, we talk in depth about travel as a form of self discovery, how to best have intentional + impactful travel experiences, and what excites us about the future of transformative travel. We also speak about Samantha’s new application Reviere! The platform serves as an incredible Journey Mapping x Storyboard tool.

We could have talked about this subject for hours, so we decided to break up our conversation into two parts. We hope you enjoy part one of World View Mirror: Travel as a form of Self Discovery.

This is a continuation from our interview with Philippa Kaye. We discuss the importance of sustainable tourism and being cognizant and respectful when visiting different destinations. Philippa shares with us what India has taught her personally and professionally over the last 25 years and what to expect when visiting this unique and colorful country. 

She teaches us that the best way for anyone to have authentic travel experiences is to discover the true reason why you are going to a location and to be intentional with your itinerary by seeking out purpose driven experience providers.
