The Travel Transformation Podcast: Self-development & personal growth tips for travel lovers & adventure seekers · Jessica Grace Coleman

154. My USA Autumn Adventure Trip: New Jersey, New York & New Hampshire

November 19, 2024·28 min
Jessica Grace Coleman, travel coach, narrates New England portion of US solo journey. After early morning flight from Nashville to Newark, her luggage wheel breaks—but airport staff replace suitcase for free. She reconnects with friend Caitlin in Bloomfield, New Jersey, explores leafy suburban neighborhoods with Victorian architecture, visits rooftop bar overlooking Manhattan skyline. Following work day and trivia night where she overconsumes whiskey and tequila, Jessica spends hungover recovery day with Caitlin's dog Nora before attending 'Oh Mary' comedy play about Mary Todd Lincoln at Lyceum Theatre in NYC. Episode reflects transformation podcast philosophy: travel mishaps and friend connections create personal growth more than perfect itineraries.
