What if your best travel companion isn’t your passport—but your personality?
In this solo episode, host Paula Mohammed continues the conversation on character strengths—those deeply personal yet often overlooked qualities that shape how we connect, cook, and travel.
Building on episode 33, Paula explores how our signature strengths like curiosity, kindness, and humor show up in everyday moments—from bustling street markets to quiet shared meals with strangers.
She shares personal stories, including a dog bite in Portugal (yes, really) and a watermelon dinner on a Greek ferry, to illustrate how mindfulness and character strengths can guide us through both joyful and challenging moments.
We talk about:
🧭 How character strengths like humility and zest can deepen our travel experiences
🐾 Why mindfulness + strengths can turn reactive moments into intentional ones
⚡ Paula’s go-to tools for navigating “hot buttons” and cultural differences
Whether you're planning your next trip or reflecting on your last, this episode is a reminder that the best tools for connection—and growth—are already within you.
