In this episode, Anne sits down with Tanya Rose, founder of
Mason Rose and host of the widely celebrated podcast
Travel Secrets to explore the deeper meaning behind travel and the stories that stay with us long after we return home.
From building a global luxury travel PR agency to launching a podcast with millions of engaged listeners, Tanya shares how storytelling, and connection have shaped her journey. She reveals the six signature questions she asks every guests, from their most unforgettable destination to their most poignant travel memory and why those answers often go far beyond travel itself.
Together, they discuss the power of travel - connecting us to people, places, and ourselves—whether through a simple local recommendation, a life-changing first trip, or a deeply personal moment that lingers forever.
The conversation moves from practical travel insights to meaningful reflections on style, memory, and what it truly means to experience the world—not as a tourist, but with intention.
This is a conversation about more than travel. It’s about connection, storytelling, and living a life well explored.
