  • How to Connect with Cultures Around the World with Dr. Kristina Wachter

    How to Connect with Cultures Around the World with Dr. Kristina Wachter
    Apr 7 2026
    What if the secret to a truly meaningful travel experience starts not when you land, but long before you ever pack a bag? Dr. Kristina Wachter is an award-winning professor, bestselling author, and CEO of Cross-Culture Connections. With over 25 years of experience in cross-cultural communication and education, she developed the Culture SPIN Method, a four-step framework trusted in 54 countries to help individuals and organizations turn cultural differences into genuine human connection. In this episode, Dr. Wachter walks us through her Culture SPIN Method and how it applies directly to travelers who want richer, more meaningful experiences on the road. She uses real-world business stories, her own travel mishaps, and a live case study with Jason to bring the whole thing to life. If you've ever shown up somewhere and felt like you were missing something, like you were skimming the surface of a place rather than really getting into it, this conversation is for you. Dr. Wachter breaks down the cross-cultural communication tips every traveler can actually use, from how to research a culture before you go, to how to recover gracefully when you inevitably get something wrong. Whether you're planning a two-week trip or building a life abroad, there's a lot here to chew on. What's a cultural moment from your own travels that surprised you or changed the way you see things? I'd love to hear your thoughts, and I hope you'll share by sending me an audio message. Tune In To Learn: Why the Culture SPIN Method starts with looking inward at yourself before you ever look outward at another culture How to build a personal "cultural Venn diagram" that maps your interests onto a new destination to create real connection opportunities Why one U.S. executive unknowingly drank $300,000 worth of tea in a single business meeting, and what he did next that actually saved the deal How a single joke in South Korea cost a businessman millions of dollars in 30 seconds, and what that means for travelers too Advice for doing genuine cultural research before a trip, including reading fiction, watching local media, and finding primary-source content Why "winging it" is one of the most common and costly mistakes people make when traveling or moving abroad How to handle cultural mistakes with humility and recover without losing the connection you're trying to build Why cultural agility, the ability to pivot and adapt without beating yourself up, is one of the most valuable skills any traveler can develop What "cultural courage" really means and how acting deliberately outside your comfort zone invites reciprocity and deeper human connection Why Rick Steves' idea of traveler responsibility hit home for Dr. Wachter And so much more Resources: Sign up for our FREE newsletter Cross-Culture Connections Culture SPIN: Your 4-Step Toolkit for Global Leadership and Cross-Culture Success Get Dr. Wachter's free Cultural Courage Guide: ⁠info@crosscultureconnections.com⁠ Want More? 7 Mistakes to Avoid When Moving Abroad (Or Traveling Long-Term) with Chrishan Wright Top 10 Challenges Of Living Abroad with BoTik Quest Building a Life Abroad, Culture Shock, and Big Leaps with Traveling Jackie Thanks To Our Sponsors Earn Cash Back and rewards on nearly every purchase with Rakuten.

  • The Journey Beyond Country Counting and Unexpected Kenya with Sarika Bansal

    The Journey Beyond Country Counting and Unexpected Kenya with Sarika Bansal
    Mar 31 2026
    What are you really looking for when you travel? Sarika Bansal is a travel writer, editor, and former editorial director of Afar magazine. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, The Guardian, and Vice, and she focuses on ethical storytelling, global perspectives, and the deeper impact of travel. She currently lives in Nairobi, Kenya, with her family. In this episode, Co-host Paige McClanahan talks with Sarika Bansal about how travel shapes us, from living in Kenya to trekking in the Everest region, and how those experiences influence the way we think about travel itself. This conversation explores what happens when we shift from collecting places to truly engaging with them, and how that shift can completely change the way we experience travel. Sarika shares stories from her own journey, from trekking in the Everest region to building a life in Kenya, and reflects on how stepping outside your comfort zone can reshape your worldview in unexpected ways. We also get into the idea of country counting, the value of returning to places, and how different stages of life influence not just where we go, but how we show up when we get there. What do you think matters more in travel, the number of places you visit or the depth of your experiences? I'd love to hear your thoughts, and I hope you'll share by sending me an audio message. Co-host Paige McClanahan is a writer, editor, and former journalist based in Paris, France. As the author of The New Tourist: Waking up to the Power and Perils of Travel, Paige is passionate about making sure our travels have a positive impact on the world. Get in touch and follow her on Substack. Tune In To Learn: Why Sarika’s move to Nairobi reshaped her daily life, pace, and perspective What drove her to travel writing and how growing up between the U.S. and India influenced her approach to storytelling and travel What a “questionable” volunteer trip taught her about ethics in travel early on How trekking in the Everest region while pregnant forced her to slow down What it’s like exploring quieter trails, monasteries, and local life beyond the Everest “highway” How climate change is visibly impacting fragile destinations like Everest Base Camp Why the idea of “country counting” breaks down when you question what it means to visit a place Sarika’s analogy between travel metrics and personal health, and why both can become misleading How different life stages, like traveling with kids, change how and where you explore Unexpected ways to experience Kenya, from DIY safaris to birdwatching and coastal towns And so much more Resources: Sign up for our FREE newsletter Castle Forest Lodge Want More?

  • Transition to Travel: From Burnout to a Year Around the World with Sofia and Teague

    Transition to Travel: From Burnout to a Year Around the World with Sofia and Teague
    Mar 26 2026
    If you need some inspiration to make those travel dreams a reality, look no further! We're resharing some of our Transition to Travel episodes this month to help kickstart your plans in 2026. In this series, we interview a guest both before and after their travels (or during if it's long-term), so we can see how it all panned out and how travel has changed them. Sofia and Teague are a couple who left behind demanding careers, including law and personal training, to travel the world for a year. This conversation gives you a full arc of a transition to travel story, from fear and uncertainty to growth, burnout, perspective shifts, and ultimately redefining what “home” and “work” mean. You’ll hear how they saved money quickly, traveled on a budget, worked abroad, navigated relationship dynamics, and what surprised them most along the way. What part of your life might be ready for a transition, even if you don’t know exactly what comes next? I'd love to hear your thoughts, and I hope you'll share by sending me an audio message. Tune In To Learn: Why the hardest part of long-term travel often happens before you ever leave How they saved $25K in a year to fund their trip (and what made it possible) What it actually feels like in the first few weeks on the road, including the uncomfortable parts How their expectations of travel compared to the reality after a full year abroad Why working abroad became the key to slowing down and enjoying the experience What happened when they decided to travel separately for part of the journey How letting go of identity, jobs, and “normal life” reshaped how they see themselves The moment they realized travel had changed their relationship in a lasting way What they didn’t expect about returning home after a year of travel Why knowing you can always leave again changes how you approach life and work And more!
