How Kendall began Authentic Travel Adventures
Kendall Wallace is the founder and lead facilitator of Authentic Travel Adventures. She leads bucket-list adventure retreats that help people find themselves again through play. Her clients connect with nature in their mind, body, and soul.
After graduating from the University of Virginia in 2009, Kendall jumped right into the work world. However, once she began working, she first heard of people taking gap years. This idea intrigued her and so she began saving for her own gap year. Her 18-month adventure took her all around the world and completely changed her mindset. When she returned to the United States she began working at Facebook.
Kendall began her solopreneur journey after a career at Facebook. Now Kendall designs retreats for entrepreneurs to help them be more productive and proactive by creating connection through play. Kendall’s mission is to have people live life to the fullest, uncovering that which holds them back or gets in the way so that they can have more joy and connection in their lives.
Boosting your dopamine can bring joy into your daily routine
Now that Kendall creates such joyous experiences for people she finds playful, natural ways to boost dopamine and serotonin. The first way is to celebrate your wins–however small. By taking time to celebrate what you’ve accomplished you’ll insert joy into your daily routine. Listen in to hear how Kendall does this at her retreats.
Music is another way to add happiness to your life. Certain songs create nostalgia and promote connection with others. Lastly, add physicality to your daily routine. Get up and move around. We don’t play in the same way that we did when we were children and it shows. Adding physical, daily play gets your body moving and can get you unstuck. Listen to discover inspiring ideas to add physical play that you can incorporate into your daily work life.
