Why Travel is Part of My Journey — And Maybe Yours, Too

Freedom. It’s a word that gets thrown around a lot — painted across Instagram bios, tattooed on ribs, and scribbled into journals during long-overdue breakdowns. But for me, freedom isn’t a far-off fantasy. It’s a daily choice. It’s something I edit and rewrite constantly.

That’s the heart of The Freedom Edit.

At its core, this platform isn’t about external adventures — it’s about internal ones. It’s about mental clarity, emotional strength, mindset shifts, and the quiet, sometimes messy work of becoming someone you’re proud to know. But for those of us doing that work?

Travel isn’t just a background setting. It’s can be a catalyst.

✈️ Why Travel Matters to The Freedom Edit

I created The Freedom Edit to help others free themselves from the inside out — from limiting beliefs, emotional burdens, self-doubt, and fear of not being “right”. But the more I worked on my own version of freedom, the more I realized that physical space matters too.

Travel, for me, is the extension of inner work. It takes everything I write about, everything I work on in my mindset, and throws it into the real world. Suddenly, you’re living the philosophies you used to just write down.

Here’s what travel does that makes it such a powerful part of the Freedom journey:

• It gives perspective. That problem you had back home? It looks very different when you’re standing on a beach in Bali or chatting to a stranger in a hostel kitchen in Peru.

• It challenges comfort zones. You can’t grow without friction — and travel provides it in the most unexpected, beautiful ways.

• It builds self-trust. From navigating airports to trusting your intuition in new cultures, every trip is a reminder that you’ve got you.

• It reconnects you to possibility. Whether it's a sunrise hike or a late-night conversation with someone you’ll never meet again, travel reminds you that life is wide open.

  
  

Freedom isn’t just something you find sitting in your childhood bedroom with a podcast on. Sometimes, you’ve got to go meet it at the airport.

🌴 The First Stop: Bali

My travel chapter begins in a place that’s been calling me for a long time: Bali.

The current plan is to move there at the end of this year or the start of next — a flexible launch date that depends on how quickly I can grow this brand and build a steady foundation. I want the beginning of this journey to feel rooted, not rushed.

Bali isn’t just palm trees and smoothie bowls (though, I mean, I’m not complaining). It’s a hub for:

• Digital nomads and networking.

• Wellness seekers and creatives

• Entrepreneurs building empires from beanbags

For me, it’s the perfect balance of solitude, culture, beauty, and community — a space to reflect and build while also living boldly.

I’ll be spending the first month there fully focused on wellness, routine, content creation, and laying the groundwork for what comes next. That means vlogs, mindset blogs, YouTube updates, and — most importantly — continuation of Freedom Stories.

🗣 The Freedom Stories Project (FSP) Goes Global

One of the most exciting parts of this journey is that I won’t just be telling my story.

The Freedom Stories Project is a soul-led mission to collect real human stories from around the world — stories of turning points, heartbreaks, awakenings, pivots, and rebirths. The kind of stories that don’t usually make it onto your feed, but live in people’s eyes when they speak about what changed them.

While traveling, I’ll be:

• Interviewing people in person (in hostels, cafés, workspaces… wherever we cross paths)

• Publishing anonymous written stories on the site

• Recording some as video or audio episodes for future release

• Letting these voices shape the heart of The Freedom Edit, not just the brand

Every destination becomes more than a location. It becomes a lens into someone’s reality. And the best part? Those stories will live here, so others can see themselves in them.

🌍 What Comes After Bali?

That’s the beauty of this whole project — I don’t know yet. But the loose plan is this:

• Continue solo traveling for the next 1–2 years (with a few collabs or guest appearances from friends along the way)

• Explore places known for adventure, healing, and storytelling — like New Zealand, Australia, Vietnam, Portugal, and South America

• Stay in community-focused hostels and co-living spaces to stay grounded and connected

• Build a life where freedom isn’t something I talk about — it’s something I wake up and live every single day

🧳 So Why Follow This Travel Blog?

Because this isn’t about me showing off a perfect lifestyle. This is about creating something with you.

You’ll find:

• Raw travel blogs from someone navigating growth, loneliness, self-trust, and freedom — not just beaches and filters

• Mindset tools built from real experiences, not recycled Pinterest quotes

• Behind-the-scenes updates as I turn this brand into a full-time mission

• Freedom Stories from people who’ve survived things, learned things, and changed their entire outlook

• A chance to feel less alone, whether you’re at home planning your escape, or already halfway across the world wondering if you’re doing it “right”

Spoiler alert: there’s no “right.” There’s only real.

💬 Final Thoughts

This travel blog isn’t a gap year diary.It’s a living record of what happens when you decide that comfort isn’t the goal — freedom is.

You’ll see the highs, the lows, the 2am hostel conversations, the unfiltered realities of solo travel, and the lessons that unfold when you say yes to your next chapter — even if you don’t have it all figured out.

If you’re ready to edit your life in real time,

Welcome to the journey.

Let’s go build freedom.

One flight at a time.— Beth ♡
