Imagine your late grandmother appearing in a dream and urging you to learn a new language. For Regina from Bold Spirit Travel, this dream set her on an extraordinary path of personal transformation. Regina shares her immersive experience in Costa Rica, where she overcame language barriers and thrived in a non-English speaking environment.
Her journey took her from Costa Rica to Guatemala and finally to Barcelona, where she had to master both Castilian Spanish and Catalan. Moving to Barcelona marked a pivotal point in her life. It was there that she met her husband and advanced her career as a journalist and travel blogger. Regina also explores the challenges and beauty of being multilingual in a cosmopolitan city like Barcelona. She reflects on her ongoing efforts to learn Catalan and navigate a diverse linguistic landscape. Her passion for adventure led her to create all-women travel groups, fostering a sense of community and connection among travellers. Her story is about the courage to step out of one’s comfort zone and embrace solo travel, language learning, and community engagement.
Regina Winkle-Bryan founded Bold Spirit Travel, a company that connects women through adventure. She leads many Bold Spirit Travel trips along with a team of talented guides. Bold Spirit Travel persevered through the COVID-19 pandemic by transitioning to online travel experiences with global guides and chefs. Regina has visited over 35 countries and currently calls Washington state home.
This episode is packed with tales of bold moves, cultural adaptation, and the creation of lasting bonds through travel.
