In this episode of Soul of Travel, Season 5: Women's Wisdom + Mindful Travel, presented by @journeywoman_original, Christine hosts a soulful conversation with Retha Charette.

Retha Charette, aka “The Roaming Nanny,” is an adventurer, blogger, and travel nanny based in Vermont, USA. Retha is all about women supporting women and has been from a young age because of her membership in the Girl Scouts. She has been traveling consistently for over 6 years and, in February of 2019, left her full-time job as a Nanny to be a Travel Writer, Adventure Guide, and Travel Nanny (just to name a few things she does). In 2020, she found herself on the Long Trail and completed the Appalachian Trail. Retha loves sharing her passion for travel and discovery with others and is always looking for new and exciting places to explore. She shares her expertise as a trip leader for WHOA Travel and Damesly, and created The Beginner’s Guide to Hiking.

Some of her favorite adventures so far include climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, learning to scuba dive in Cozumel, Mexico, and camping in Antarctica.

Christine and Retha discuss:

· Retha’s trip to Africa that changed so much in her life
· Creating spaces for women
· Why women-only adventures, travel experiences, and communities are so important
· The importance of sustainability in travel
· Traveling with kids and what it brings into their lives
