Welcome back to "85 Percent," the podcast where we celebrate the diverse experiences of women in travel! In today's episode, we delve into the captivating story of Nikki Vargas, a travel journalist who faced a life-altering decision at the awe-inspiring Iguazu Falls. Nikki's journey takes us through the complexities of calling off her first wedding, grappling with her Colombian heritage, imposter syndrome and ultimately finding resilience and happiness in her career and relationships. Join us as I explore the concept of self-care as a verb, not a noun, and highlights Nikki's best-selling memoir, "Call You When I Land." This episode promises to inspire, challenge, and celebrate the unique perspectives of women in travel.
