Cusco: The Hidden Gifts of Peru (ft. Huda Alvi)
Communion with nature, unexpected healing, and hidden lessons within every stone. What if travel wasn't just about following an itinerary, but about learning to give and receive with everything we encounter along the way?
Today's season finale guest is Huda Alvi, entrepreneur and co-founder of The Girls Trip, who has traveled three times to Peru and the ancient city of Cusco. What begins as a scouting trip for her company soon becomes something far more transformative, as Huda steps into a landscape and culture shaped by living in relationship with the Earth, and with the people who call it home.
Through shared meals, sacred sites, and a slow reveal of the fabled Machu Picchu, Huda reflects on travel as a practice of curiosity, generosity, and care, uncovering a deeper understanding of her own quality of happiness.
