Have you ever wanted to visit Estes Park, Colorado, and stay at the Stanley Hotel or take one of its ghost tours? As a Colorado native, I was excited to finally spend a night at this historic hotel in Estes Park. In this episode, I share memories of staying there with my husband almost twenty years ago, then returning on my own last year for a different ghost tour. From watching The Shining on a loop in our room to exploring tucked-away basement spaces, both visits gave me something to remember. I also share a little researched history and some of the ghost stories associated with the hotel. 🎙️ In this episode, I share: What I enjoyed about staying in the historic main building How my two ghost tours differed Stephen King’s stay at the Stanley and the inspiration for The Shining A little history about it's founders The Concert Hall legends and the spaces we explored Why a guided tour can be a fun activity to try on your own Whether you love ghost stories, historic hotels, or exploring Colorado, join me for a visit to the spooky side of Estes Park.

What happens when you stop trying to plan every detail of your trip and leave a little room for the unexpected? In this episode, Angela talks with Kristy Halvorsen, author of Perfect Unfolding, about embracing uncertainty, balancing travel planning with spontaneity, and learning to trust yourself when things don't go according to plan. Kristy has been traveling full-time in an Airstream since 2017 and shares her philosophy of “coddiwompling”, moving through life without always knowing exactly where you're going. She explains that confidence comes from experience, not from having every detail figured out ahead of time. Kristy also shares the memorable story of getting stuck in the sand while traveling in Maine and how accepting help from strangers changed her perspective on independence. Sometimes being a confident traveler isn't about handling everything yourself; it's about trusting that you can figure things out, ask for help, and adapt when plans change. If overthinking or trying to plan the perfect trip has been keeping you from traveling, this conversation is a reminder that you don't need to know exactly how everything will unfold before you begin. 🎙️ In this episode, we discuss: How to balance travel planning with spontaneityWhat “coddiwompling” means and how Kristy applies it to travel and lifeWhy confidence comes from experience, not over-planningLearning to become more comfortable with uncertaintyWhat to do when travel plans don't go as expectedTrusting your instincts while travelingWhy asking for help doesn't make you less independentHow unexpected experiences can become memorable parts of a tripTaking the first step even when you don't have everything figured outPermitting yourself to pursue the life and travel experiences you want 💬 Connect with Kristy Halvorsen: Website: ⁠⁠https://kristyhalvorsen.com/Instagram: @kristy.halvorsen _________________________________________ 🎧 Enjoyed this episode?

Group travel can be a great way to start building the skills and confidence you need while still having the comfort of traveling with others. In this episode of Travel the World Confidently, I'm joined again by Alyssa to talk about the benefits of group travel and why it doesn't have to be an either/or choice between traveling with a group and traveling solo.
