Adventures in Travel with Sandy Colling

About this episode

In this episode of This Daring Adventure podcast, I talk with Sandy Colling, host of the Just Travel With Sandy podcast and founder of Sandy's Travel Lounge.

Sandy Colling is a passionate world traveler, originally from Germany, entrepreneur, and guide on a mission to help others explore the world with confidence and ease. Having traveled to 37 countries and speaking three languages, she knows firsthand how enriching and life-changing travel can be—and she believes no one should miss out on the incredible experiences the world has to offer due to fear or overwhelm.

As the founder of Just Travel with Sandy, Sandy helps others navigate travel with clarity and excitement. Whether it’s overcoming hesitation, understanding cultural differences, or crafting the perfect itinerary, she makes travel feel effortless and accessible.

Her brand-new FREE community (https://justtravelwithsandy.com/sandys-travel-lounge), Sandy’s Travel Lounge, is the ultimate travel hub—filled with expert advice, exclusive events, detailed guides, and curated itineraries to simplify travel planning. Beyond virtual support, Sandy also leads real trips, offering immersive experiences in breathtaking destinations. This year, she’s guiding travelers through Ireland and France, and next year, India is on the horizon.

Travel isn’t just about seeing new places—it’s about experiencing life in a whole new way. The world is waiting, and Sandy is here to help you explore it with confidence.
