Traveling Through with David Prior · Thursday, August 27, 2026
JJ Martin defines 'transcendental travel' as journeys that induce a shift in consciousness, prioritizing experiences that expand awareness over purely shopping or dining recommendations. She finds inspiration in sacred sites and local traditions, citing Sardinia as a significant discovery for its ancient heritage and unique landscapes.
“I just really think that what I am most attracted to when I'm traveling is connecting with places that are going to expand my awareness and my consciousness. And I'm deeply interested in sacred sights and traditions, local traditions.”
“I would say Sardinia is like one of the biggest eye openers I've had on that it was right in my backyard in Italy.”
“And on top of it, there's all these archaeological sites that date back five thousand years, super super powerful. I went to a place called the pul City Santa Cristina, which is like an ancient well again water where you descend in stairs underground. It was so potent, David, you have no idea.”
