Since her first day on Planet Earth, Sydney Duarte (AKA The Traveling Gypsy) has been a bright bolt of creative energy and positivity. And in the 18 years she’s been in Charlotte since moving here from Kentucky, she has shared her energy and smile with everyone around her — including as a yoga teacher, a community connector, and the embodiment of Queen City wanderlust (not to mention, a steadfast member of the CreativeMornings/Charlotte volunteer team).

Spend a few minutes getting “Biscuit Blitzed” with Sydney and Matt Olin as they discuss her commitment to wellness, one-ness and adventure. You just might find yourself inspired to get out of your head, reach out and speak up. (But you WON’T be inspired toward kitting or plumbing.)
