How To Build Confidence, Career Clarity, And Character Through Travel
Nothing has impacted Ariel Travis more than the one thing so many of us fear: International travel.
Journey back in time and you won’t find this professional pediatric medical speech-language pathologist in clean scrubs. The true beginning of her career started in a rugged fashion; she joined the Peace Corps just two weeks fresh out of collage before living and working in Mozambique, Brazil, China, and the Dominican Republic for the next seven years. When she finally returned to the US she realized that her unruly adventures gave her the confidence, flexibility, and compassion to thrive in her day-to-day work environment.

- Dispels myths about traveling as a young person
