EP 30: THE LIFE OF A TRAVEL EXPERT/WRITER & NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED MULTI-MEDIA PERSONALITY – ANGEL CASTELLANOS

Angel Castellanos, (Castayanos) (www.AngelsTravelLounge.com) is a passionate world traveler, freelance travel writer, content producer and nationally recognized speaker dedicated to helping people travel smart, well and often. Traveling to over 80 countries on 5 continents (and counting), Angel travels 12-14 weeks internationally each year and draws on his experience and frequent travels to teach “Smart Travel” and equip travelers with the skills they need to make travel easy and enjoyable. Angel is a multi-media travel personality and travel expert that has appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Fox News, CBS, ABC, Univision, Frommers Radio, USA Today & Travel & Adventure Show and New York Times Travel Show.  Angel is also the executive producer and host of the travel and adventure tv show Hot Spots debuting in Europe in Asia in late 2021.

 

My thoughts:

Going into my interview with Angel, I already knew that he was going to be pretty special.  I saw his instagram, his media presence, and realized the kind of value he provided for the travel community.  BUT… upon speaking to Angel, I found out even more.  For one, he’s a pretty amazing person with his view of the world. I suppose when you travel so extensively and so often, you are forever changed with every experience.  In my opinion, the quickest way to get connected with goodness of humanity is to travel, travel, travel.  And this is precisely what Angel does…

He shares the beginnings of his travel bug and how he got to where he is now, with a travel company, speaking around the world providing valuable tools for us – adventurers, nomads and explorers alike….
What did I take from this interview…. inspiration…to go and pursue whatever dream it is you want to pursue – Back it up with hard work – consistency and never giving up… and you’ve got yourself your dream life.

Thank you Angel for the inspiration and hope we get to bump into each other, neighbor!

Stay Wild,

EP 29: THE STRUGGLES, TRIUMPHS, & ADVENTURES OF A BEING DIGITAL NOMAD – NEARLY GETTING ARRESTED IN MEXICO, & PARTYING IN GREECE WITH TAYLOR WALLACE

Startups in the Emerging Tech Space & as well as an Executive Mindset Coach for clients from

Emotional Intelligence, Personal Development, Self-Awareness, and Self Love.

My thoughts:

Taylor is one bad ass queen!  Her life is one to be admired… SURFING, MEDITATION, JOURNALING, EATING HEALTHY… She is incredible!  And I hope one day we’ll get to meet!  Just talking to her about her daily routines, I could just picture all of the beauty in her life.

My take away from meeting her was that she a person of authenticity.  She shared with me her triumphs and struggles, and it was refreshing to hear all of it.  A lot times people get interviewed and they only want to tell you the good stuff… They rarely want to share all of the hard stuff.  But she is someone who isn’t afraid to live her life honestly and that honesty shines through this interview.  She talks about the struggles of traveler’s depression and the ebbs and flows of life when you live nomadically paired of course, with the amazing freedoms and sites to see…. Life is a balance and hers is one of great, great adventure and beauty.

Thank you for sharing a piece of your colorful life with all of it’s ups and downs.  YOU ARE AMAZING TAYLOR!
