In this episode of Bulletproof Radio, I interviewed Jeremy Jauncey at The Surf Lodge in Montauk, New York, where we talked about finding new adventures and staying healthy along the way.
Jeremy’s a serial entrepreneur, investor and advisor with a passion for travel, health and sustainability. He’s also the founder and CEO of Beautiful Destinations, an award-winning destination strategy and branding agency that works with countries and cities all over the world to develop their economies through tourism.
The Financial Times called Jeremy the “world’s most influential traveler.” He has given keynotes for the United Nations World Tourism Organization, the World Travel & Tourism Council, and the U.S. Travel Association. He’s an advocate for sustainability and conservation as an ambassador for the World Wildlife Fund and sustainable tourism.
“My passion is more the impact that travel has on people, and this very passionate belief that travel is a force for good in the world, it is a universal language that connects people regardless of their age or their gender or their income or where they come from,” Jeremy says. “And if you actually get out into the world and explore it, you can uncover amazing things and make yourself a better person and hopefully have a positive impact too.”
Listen on to learn about wellness travel and medical tourism, the best way to find your next travel destination, and, of course, useful travel hacks for wherever you may choose to go.
