Are you making all the right choices only to feel as like you are living the wrong life? That was me …until I purchased an around the world ticket. With an oversized green backpack , I embraced the unknown twists and turns of traveling the world solo for 9 months… pretty successfully I loved how travel unpacked parts of myself I had not fully experienced in my life back home. Unfortunately, my re-entry home was an epic fail. I felt lost and uninspired. This led to a deep depression that cost my job, a relationship, and worst, my confident. So, what happened? I didn’t completely unpack the most significant thing when I returned home – my empowered self … the one that the world met when I was traveling. Has that happened to you?

In 1999, a stroke of luck awarded Macon Dunnagan two free tickets to South Africa, setting in motion a journey that would change his life forever.

This accomplishment was all the more awe-inspiring, considering his prior experience had never taken him beyond 4,000 feet, and he had never even spent a night in a sleeping bag.
Fast forward to June 2023, Macon completed his 50th summit of Kilimanjaro and has penned abook, “Sons of Kilimanjaro”. Today, Macon's boundless enthusiasm for exploration has found its purpose as he leads others on transformative voyages through a partnership with Zara Tour, based in Tanzania.

About Mark:
50 YEARS AGO, MARK PICKED UP A CAMERA TO PHOTOGRAPH A YOUNG WOMAN. HE FELL IN LOVE WITH BOTH. Several decades later, after becoming a physician, Mark found inspiration once again. Trading a pathologist’s view in a microscope for a Nikon F100 viewfinder proved irresistible. In 2001 a windsurfing shot made off the coast of Venezuela was published in the US, and Europe opened a new door. In 2004 Nikon began using Mark’s images in their advertising, and later that year, featured his work in Nikon World magazine. Recognition and international awards attracted clients such as Hewlett-Packard, Lowepro, and DxO, leading to placements in commercial installations, calendars, textbooks, medical journals, stock agencies, and private collections.
His experience teaching medicine made the transition to digital photo educator and spokesperson in new directions. Mark was a mentor instructor for the Nikon-sponsored Mentor Series Treks for over 10 years. He resides in Atlanta, where his home studio makes private instruction a unique experience.

About Denis:
Denis Hickey is a trailblazer in the world of solo traveling before traveling the world became more mainstream. In the early 1990s, Denis was a Silicon Valley businessperson who had been on the leading edge of technology five times. In 1993 at the age of 48, Denis exchanged his high-tech paycheck for a low-maintenance backpack. That one decision and 80 countries later changed the trajectory of his life.
Today Denis is proud to declare he has enjoyed two relationships lasting over 25 years, raising two families of different generations. He is a philosopher and writer of four books: 2 travel adventure books and 2 how-to books (how to make a woman happy and how to a make man happy). Currently, Denis lives in Warsaw Poland, and he is writing two children's books, a third travel adventure book and a book called CRISIS.

INTRO
Have you ever returned home after an amazing vacation or a life-changing trip abroad – so fully alive - only to be greeted with the post traveler’s blues?
Guess What? ….Reality doesn’t have to bite!!
The Travelers HEART wants to inspire travelers and encourage arm-chair travelers to see everyday life as a travel experience. We all have a traveler living inside us whose sole purpose is to help us escape what we know so we can see and experience life from a new experience.
We will explore conversations about why we have, how we travel and the benefits of purposeful, intentional transformation travel.
We will dive deep into how our passions, cultural preferences, biases, beliefs, life’s events, life’s stages and even astrology all impact our travel choices.
I am your host Julie Zolfo, and this is the Traveler’s H.E.A.R.T. podcast
TRAILER
Are you making all the right choices only to feel as like you are living the wrong life?
That was me …until I purchased an around the world ticket.
With an oversized green backpack , I embraced the unknown twists and turns of traveling the world solo for 9 months… pretty successfully
I loved how travel unpacked parts of myself I had not fully experienced in my life back home.
Unfortunately, my re-entry home was an epic fail. I felt lost and uninspired. This led to a deep depression that cost my job, a relationship, and worst, my confident.
So, what happened? I didn’t completely unpack the most significant thing when I returned home – my empowered self … the one that the world met when I was traveling. Has that happened to you?
At my lowest point the answer home to me
I needed, no I craved, a way of being a traveler every day. Travel has such a positive impact helping us become a better version of ourselves. Wouldn’t YOU want to feel like your empowered traveler every day, too?
This low point gave birth to my simple yet powerful approach for living happily and fulfilled daily. It’s called, The Way of the Traveler’s H.E.A.R.T., and we want you to have access to this approach too.
Join us in unpacking your traveler’s heart. Hear inspiring stories from traveler’s and travel expert from around the globe to learn ways we can all fuel the desires of our traveler’s heart daily, where its on the road or living life back home.
