She beat cancer and started traveling in a way she was NEVER allowed to

She’s unstoppable. No matter what kind of sh** storm is going on around her, Mari, The Queen of Trips, doesn’t let it hold her back.

She beat cancer and in this episode she shares more than just her Cancer Victory Tour. We talk about her transformative trips that have shaped her, her upbringing and the challenges of moving from Columbia as a teenager expected to make ends meet for the family and more.

She’s a badass and her story inspires me to acknowledge challenging situations, but keep on plowin’ right through them.
