58 - Where to Travel Next?

"Travel is such a person experience" according to guest Ruksana Hussain, an award winning travel journalist.  In addition to chatting about the amazing power of travel and curating bespoke experiences, Ruksana and host Catryn Becker talk about what it is like to be solopreneur and how Ruksana would have made different choices.  We also look deeper about the challenges Ruksana faced as an Indian immigrating to the United States and how she overcame imposter syndrome and comparing herself to others in a negative way.
