What if I told you that one of my favorite people I’ve met through my travels is someone I’ve never met at all?

When I started this road tripping journey back in September of 2020, a dear friend of mine kept tagging one of hers on my IG posts. Us mutuals eventually followed each other, but it wasn’t until we found a common grief that we actually connected and discovered so much more we shared. Our bond was immediate and true.

Since then and despite the global pandemic, life’s taken Lisette & I many places, constantly giving us more to share with each other.

Including, a conversation over her podcast, The Globetrotter Lounge!

I could not have been more delighted to spend a bit of my time on the road last year swapping stories with such a brilliant traveler, dazzling woman, fellow modern-day griot, and most especially, my friend.

I hope you’ll enjoy our talk about solo road tripping, discovering beauty & history in adventure, and being true to your heart along the way as much as we did.

(Doubt it, but… I’m polite anyway.)
