About Our Guest

This episode features one of the most passionate guests we’ve ever had. She’s one of those voiceless travelers we refer to in our show open—well, she is voiceless no longer. Gina Paul has visited over 20 countries and counting. “Fear” is simply not part of her vocabulary when it comes to travel, going solo if need be, with a special affinity for Morocco and Greece. Listen as she speaks about some of her fantastic experiences and what she’s learned along the way. Gina is a teacher of kindergarten and first grade special education students, and now counts herself as a published author. Her book—I Am Not Being Lazy, I Just Don’t Understand, breaks down the challenges of being a young student in a new country, who must deal with language and cultural barriers, and the false assumptions other make. It’s now available on Amazon. Click on the title above to get your copy. You can follow Gina’s traveling exploits on Instagram @traveling.sister.
