My first podcast episode of 2026!
In the first 2026 episode of my “Journey Jukebox” travel podcast, I share highlights from my recent Caribbean cruise over the New Year, exploring the cultures, landscapes, and communities of Belize, Honduras, and Cozumel. From visiting ancient Mayan ruins and learning about traditional chocolate-making, to wildlife encounters and meaningful connections with local communities, this episode celebrates travel that goes beyond the typical tourist experience.
I also reflect on the importance of sustainable tourism, how travel supports local economies, and the perspective gained from engaging authentically with the people and places visited. The conversation explores life aboard a modern cruise ship—including entertainment, amenities, and relaxation—while encouraging every traveler to balance comfort with cultural curiosity and responsible travel choices.
I hope this encourages you to get out there and travel – when you’re ready, reach out to me here!
