Travel has always been a huge part of our love story. ❤️

So every year on our anniversary, we take a luxurious trip to somewhere that we can relax fully, connect with one another, and enjoy beauty all around us. In 2021, we took in the jungles of Costa Rica, a tapestry of vibrant greens and rich browns, woven together by the sounds of chirping birds and rustling leaves. The lush canopy towers above, filtering the sun's rays to dapple the forest floor in golden light. It is a place of life and vitality, representing all that life and love means to us!

Check out Arenal Volcano, a majestic, towering sentinel with dense jungle, dotted with steaming vents and bubbling mud pools that hint at the fiery heart within. A place where you can sing "I lava you" like we do together 😍

The power and raw beauty of these natural wonders is both humbling and awe-inspiring, reminding us of the vast and untamed wilderness that lies beyond our cities and towns.

How can you immerse yourself in beauty to reconnect with your purpose and the ones you love most?

3 big takeaways from 's 2024 State of Travel report:

1. Book early! Travel was big in 2023 and is predicted to grow even more. Popular destinations will book up fast.

2. Europe is popular and flights are more affordable than ever! Looking to check some things off the bucketlist like the Louvre, Big Ben or Leaning Tower of Pisa? This might be the year to do it. Just this week I've seen flight deals to Iceland, Scotland, Spain and France!

Booking a vacation through a travel agent can actually help you SAVE MONEY (seriously)!

Firstly, travel agents often have access to exclusive deals and discounts that are not available to the general public. We also have strong relationships with different travel suppliers, which allows them to negotiate better prices for their clients. Additionally, travel agents are knowledgeable about different destinations, and they can suggest cost-effective options that suit your budget and preferences. Furthermore, we can help you avoid hidden costs, such as visa fees, local taxes, and travel insurance, which can add up and significantly increase the cost of your trip.

By booking with a travel agent, you can save money and ensure that your vacation is stress-free and budget-friendly. The only questions that remain are… where do you want to go and how can we get you there?

One of my favorite words: wanderlust

The human need to go see something new, what's over that river, what's at the top of the mountain, what's in the depths of the ocean, what's outside of this world.

We don't just sell travel, but we help people find that connection to one of the defining traits of being human.

Do you have this feeling but don't know where to start? has put together an awesome list to inspire you.

So often we get caught up in the idea that we need to travel to some exotic location in order to have a truly meaningful experience. But what if the real adventure is not in the destination, but in the way that we view the world around us?
Think about it - when you're in a new place, everything feels exciting and fresh. But that's not because the place itself is inherently better than what you're used to. It's because you're seeing things from a different perspective. You're open to new experiences, new people, and new ways of doing things.
The same can be true in our everyday lives, if we let it. We don't need to go on some grand adventure to have a new way of seeing things. We just need to approach the world with an open mind and a willingness to see things differently.
Life is full of opportunities to see things in a new light, if only we're willing to take them. So let's make a point to approach each day with a sense of wonder and a willingness to learn. Who knows what amazing experiences we might have when we're open to seeing the world in a new way?
