I'm Brittany Braddock, and if you’re here, you’re someone who believes in the power of travel to transform, inspire, and deepen our connection to ourselves and the world around us.\nThis episode is one I know you’re going to love. My guest is Molly Wimmer, a profoundly insightful traveler with a deep curiosity about people and cultures. She’s the kind of person who doesn’t just visit places—she immerses herself, questions, reflects, and seeks meaning in every journey.\nIn our conversation, we explore the idea of pilgrimage as a form of travel—how it can be a tool for personal growth, self-connection, and even a means of rediscovering what truly matters. Molly also shares some of her favorite quotes about travel and life, and we dive into the importance of prioritizing your internal experience.\n\nPlease remember to follow and leave a review so that I can continue sharing these amazing conversations and reach out to me directly if you'd like to be a future guest- manifesttravelpod@gmail.com\n\nBooks:\nBig Magic by Liz Gilbert\nEat Pray Love by Liz Gilbert\nThe Nightingale by Kristin Hannah\nThe Art of Pilgrimage by Phil Cousineau\nWho Stole the Arms of the Venus de Milo by Phil Cousineau\nThe Fruitful Darkness by Joan Halifax\nPerseus in The Wind by Freya Stark\nPassionate Nomad: The Life of Freya Stark by Jane Fletcher Geniesse\nA Pilgrim's Guide to the Camino Finisterre: Santiago-Finisterre-Muxia-Santiago Circuit by John Brierley\nMother Teresa: In My Own Words by Mother Teresa\n\nEvents and Additional Links:\nSacred Earth Journeys \nUpaya Zen Center\nSeek Discomfort\n⁠The Girl Who Wore Freedom documentary\nManifest Travel episode with David Delisle\n\nThe Maverick Show\nSubscribe to the Monday Minute Newsletter\n\n*The views and opinions expressed by guests on the Manifest Travel podcast are their own and do not necessarily reflect those of the host, producers, or affiliated entities.
