Mollie Reese is the founder and writer of Stay In Good Company, a podcast dedicated to mindful slow travel. Mollie traveled frequently for her job working long hours and never having the chance to enjoy a new destination. That's when Mollie decided to take a step back from the hustle and bustle of corporate life and set out on her own adventure.

In each country she visits, Mollie searches for authentic cultural stories from those who live there and shares them with the world. With the main focus being on authenticity, Mollie is changing the fast-paced tourist schedule to a slower approach while engaging with the locals.
