This Actress Shares Top 5 Places She Wants To Travel | Kim Fields | The Upshaws Show
Kim Fields has been traveling since she was 12 years old — Paris for The Facts of Life movie, Australia as a teenager, Rome for an NBC special.
In this clip from The Layover Podcast, Kim Fields opens up about her travel journey — from work trips that never felt like travel to intentionally scouting retreat locations while picturing her retreaters' faces, and the dream destinations still on her list.
Here's what Kim shares:
- How traveling for work made her miss the actual travel experience (Paris at 12, Australia at 18, Rome as a teenager — all for work)
- The moment that sparked Refresh by KF (sitting at a resort thinking, "This is really nice... what if I brought people here?")
- How she scouts retreat locations now (thinking about specific retreaters and what they'd love)
- Why the Soulful Experience was perfect for Refresh by KF (cultural awareness as the "refresh")
- Her dream destinations (Switzerland, Italy, Nice, New Zealand, Australia's Great Barrier Reef)
- Her travel style (hybrid — itinerary with wiggle room for spontaneity)
- Her travel ritual (forgetting something every single time)
-The one thing she can't travel without (Aquaphor lip balm, her gray beanie, and a coffee mug that says "You don't always remember you're awesome. This is your reminder.")
Kim's confession: "I can get 50-60 people halfway around the world for a 7-day cruise and retreat, but I can't remember to pack a damn bathing suit for me."
