Take the Trip: Travel Coach Laura Rahn on Designing Memorable Travel
Episode 113
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to finally take the trip, this episode is it.
Travel Coach Laura Rahn spent 33 years in education before following a lifelong pull toward adventure. Raised as a military kid who moved constantly — including three formative years in Italy — Laura grew up understanding the power of connection, adaptability, and seeing the world through curious eyes.
Today, she helps families, couples, and solo travelers design meaningful, intentional trips that reflect who they are and how they want to feel. And trust me… after hearing her stories, you’ll want to start planning your next adventure before the episode ends.
In this conversation, we explore:
- Why experiences matter more than “stuff”
- How her military upbringing shaped her love for travel
- The surprising bridge between instructional coaching and travel coaching
- Why every traveler — including kids and teens — deserves a voice
- What families should really discuss before they pack a single bag
Key Topics:
- Laura’s transition from teacher to travel coach
- The “Dream, Design, Depart” framework
- Navigating different travel styles within a family
- Building excitement and reducing stress before a trip
- Creating ownership and connection through shared planning
This episode is a beautiful reminder that adventure doesn’t have to be complicated — it just has to be intentional. And you’re more ready than you think.
