In this episode of Roaming Realities, I chat with Trine, an inspiring traveler from Denmark who has turned her passion for exploration into a journey of self-discovery and healing. Trine opens up about her first travel experiences, how her adventures in New Zealand and Australia transformed her view of the world, and the impact these early trips had on her personal growth.

Together, we explore the tough realities of career burnout and the ways mental health challenges can creep in, especially for those of us who push ourselves in both work and life. Trine shares how travel—and a deep connection to nature—became an essential part of her self-care, helping her recover and find balance. Her story is full of practical advice for women facing similar struggles, and her experiences offer powerful insights into the healing power of nature and solo exploration.

As Trine continues to build her travel brand, she reflects on her hopes for the future and the many lessons she’s learned along the way. You can follow her adventures @travelsbytrine on Instagram.
