Lessons Learned from a life of Travel 🌍 Adventure is a core value of our family. Here are a few takeaways from my adventures over 30 years: * Embrace Local Experiences in smaller towns - Don’t just sightsee. Immerse yourself in local culture by trying traditional cuisine and engaging with locals. Locals will happily tell you what’s traditional and what’s for tourists. Find a small town (less than 20k people) away from the cities to enhance your experience. * Time Flies when you’re having fun - Give yourself sufficient time to explore each destination. Rushing through a city or country can lead to missed opportunities and stress. The less you rush, the more fondly you’ll look back on your travel. * Plan Ahead, But Stay Flexible - My wife is one of the best at booking activities in advance, but also loves to schedule every waking minute with excursions. SCHEDULE. FREE. TIME. You will get more out of the trip as a whole if you schedule downtime throughout. This gives you the ability to wander the town, sit down for a croissant at the local Cafe, or stumble upon spontaneous opportunities during your journey. Share some tips from your own travel experiences! #TravelTipTuesday #Travel #Wanderlust

True or false: Travel is all about the little details. Of course, the big details like the best flight options, where to stay, and what to do matter too. But in my opinion, it's the little things like the best dishes and wine to try, the recommended restaurants outside of the touristy areas, and the tours with the extra awesome guides that make a trip truly stand out. So where do you get all of those details without having to scour the internet endlessly and have 17 browser tabs open at once right before your trip? You work with a travel pro like me to plan your family getawayshoneymoongroup tripstrips to Europe and you’ll always have the inside track and insider information I’ve picked up from my own travels and from my awesome network of other travel industry friends and colleagues around the globe.

What is the Distinction between Vacation and Travel? Vacation is about seeking comfort and relaxation. It's a time to unwind, rejuvenate, and escape the daily grind. Travel, on the other hand, is about broadening your horizons and challenging yourself to experience life from a different perspective. True travel pushes you to step out of your comfort zone and immerse yourself in cultures vastly different from your own. If you're truly committed to the essence of travel, venture to places where the culture contrasts sharply with your own. Choose destinations where navigating is a challenge, where the language barrier is significant, and where the customs are unfamiliar. This type of travel might lead you to a profound realization: perhaps the way you live is just as peculiar. Embark on a journey that not only takes you to new places but also transforms the way you view the world. #TravelSmartWithViacation #Travelsmart #vacationwithviacation #travelnow #travelling #vacationmodeon #traveltoday

Should you go back to the Caribbean islands you know this winter, or try somewhere new? You’re spoiled for choice in the Caribbean, there are so many gorgeous resorts and hotels and every island has its own things to explore. Here are a few questions I ask my clients to help them narrow it down: ➡️ What kind of vacation are you looking for? Adventure, relaxation, culture, or a mix of all? ➡️ What activities do you want to prioritize for the trip? Are you just relaxing at the resort or do you want to venture out? And what’s top priority, water activities, culture, food, etc? ➡️ What’s your budget? Are you sticking to your usual budget or are you splurging? ➡️ Who’s coming? Are you traveling with kids, family, friends, or will it just be you and your partner? ➡️ What’s one thing that would make this trip exceptional for you? In short, the best Caribbean island depends on your personal preferences and travel style because no island is exactly the same. If you’re interested in exploring some of the smaller island in the Caribbean like [St Lucia/Grenada/St. Vincent and Grenadines], DM me or comment below to book a discovery call. Let’s find the perfect island for your next adventure! #TravelExperiences #ExploreTheWorld #CustomizedTravel #WrightsMagicalTravels #TravelAgent #Travel #TravelPlanner #TravelAdvisor #Carribean #Europe #NorthAmerica #AdultsOnly #Travel2024 #Travel2025 #WhereFantasyHappens #Groups #Cruises
