#134: Sustainable Travel, Writing Books, Spiritual Growth, Energy Healing and Meditation with Bianca Caruana

My guest today is Bianca Caruana. Bianca is a storyteller, podcast host, sustainability & equality advocate and writer at The Altruistic Traveller. Bianca and I had a serendipitous encounter in Aveiro (Thanks to Pieter Levels’ Nomadlist.com), and we immediately clicked because we shared similar backgrounds and spiritual growth journeys.

In this episode, we discussed...

1. How to be a sustainable traveller and leverage your skillsets to travel around the world without costing a big fortune?

2. What’s the wake-up call for us to trust and surrender to the universe instead of trying to control our life?

3. How to do our own personal reverse engineering to find out who we are NOT in order to know who we really are on a deeper level?

4. How to overcome the fear of judgment, transform from our old identities and embrace a new life?

5. How does adapting to be a digital nomad lifestyle help us find a sense of belonging and feel seen?

6. Why should you write books and poetries to keep a record of your life and express your feelings?

7. A couple of serendipitous stories on life is only making sense when you look back and connect the dots

8. What’s the Vipassana meditation? What could you get from it?

9. How to find the meditation method that suits you?

10. The benefits of sacred plant medicine and what to pay attention to when experiencing psychedelic trips?

11. How to cultivate empathy?
