Speaking of Travel® With Marilyn Ball
Scenic Travel Moments And The Joy Of Discovery

There’s a new idea taking shape around the way we experience places and it’s called Scenic Travel Moments.
Justin Belleme, Publisher and Partnerships Manager at RomanticAsheville.com, joins Speaking of Travel to talk about where the idea came from and why he believes there is an opportunity to create something different for travelers.
Scenic Travel Moments begins in Western North Carolina with extraordinary landscapes and some wonderfully unexpected places to stay. But the idea isn’t simply about finding another place to visit. The conversation takes us into the importance of community and the growing desire to experience travel in a more meaningful way.
Justin talks about the future of Scenic Travel Moments and into his bigger vision for creating a community around the kind of travel that invites curiosity and connection.
It’s an interesting conversation about where travel may be headed and why creating experiences that feel genuine and memorable matters. At the heart of Scenic Travel Moments is the simple idea that the places themselves should always remain at the center of the story.
Come along as we explore a different way of experiencing the places we visit. There’s something really special about this idea and I think you’ll enjoy hearing where it’s headed.
