Top 10 Health and Wellness Destinations (The Best Places To Live In The World) with Nina Butler

What are the things that help you flourish on a deep level? Nina Butler joins me to explore this question as she outlines her criteria for the top ten health and wellness destinations and why these may also be the top places in the world to live. Nina Butler is the founder of InRetreat, which crafts transformative journeys to exceptional eco-destinations around the world. She joins Jason in person this week to talk about wellness holistically, defining it for yourself, and asking yourself about your own priorities when deciding to visit or live somewhere. We discuss her top ten wellness destinations across multiple continents, why urban centers can never be wellness destinations, the importance of trees and protected nature spaces, which regions are not yet over-touristed, and so much more. Which wellness destinations would you add to this list? I'd love to hear what they are, and I hope you’ll share them by sending me an audio message.
