How can embracing your differences lead to more fulfilling travel?

Dan Bird talks about his experience traveling with autism, offering personal stories, insights, and advice on how neurodivergence can enrich your adventures.

Dan Bird understands the unique joys and difficulties of traveling as a neurodivergent person. Diagnosed with autism at 27, he authored the book Go Neuro Way to share how he's embraced traveling with autism and how others can do the same.

Dan candidly shares his experiences navigating the world as an autistic traveler, showing how sensory sensitivities can be both a challenge and a unique advantage. By tuning in, you'll learn how to adapt your travels to fit your personal needs, explore destinations more intentionally, and embrace the strengths of neurodivergence. Whether you're neurodivergent or curious about different ways to approach travel, this episode will help you rethink what is possible when you see superpowers instead of limitations.

What perceived limitation can you turn into a strength while traveling? I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences by sending me an audio message.
