Always Be Learning - Traveling the world and inspiring others to do the same with Annie Laurenz

Life in Motion

In this episode we chat with Annie Laurenz, an avid outdoor enthusiast, world traveler, and fearless learner. Hailing from a small Michigan town with a graduating class of 52, Annie's childhood was a canvas of rural woods exploration and frequent travels. College opened doors to international study abroad experiences across five countries and immersion in an adventure club passionate about things like backpacking and rock climbing. The adventures didn't stop there – on a whim she pedaled her bike 3,716 miles across the country. Now, through "Adventures With Annie," she shares budget-friendly travel tips, inspiring others to see the world as she has. If you've ever wondered about the fulfillment adventures can bring or why you should always be learning, then this episode's for you!
