Novel World Travel Let's plan the trip of a lifetime. I do all the work. You have all the fun. "You only live once." Maybe that’s a cliché, but it rings true.
(1)

There’s so much to explore in this novel world and so little time to do it. I’ve tried to live by this motto, traveling extensively and checking items off my bucket list – and I’d love to help you do the same. Your dreams are as unique as you are, and your travel bucket list won’t look the same as anyone else’s. Maybe you want to see Paris from the top of the Eiffel Tower or experience the wonder

of the Northern Lights. Maybe you want to take your whole family on a once-in-a-lifetime cruise. Maybe you simply want to bask in the sun on a secluded beach. With a trusted travel advisor on your team, you can make your dreams a reality. I’ll take the time to understand your needs, research destinations and experiences, craft a customized itinerary especially for you, and handle all the logistics of planning your trip. Together, we'll check those items off your bucket list and start making the most of your one wild and precious life.

📅 WHEN TO START PLANNING YOUR NEXT VACATION 📅

Lately, I’ve had a lot of last-minute requests for holiday travel planning—but here’s the truth: by this time, it’s nearly impossible to find the best pricing or availability!

Planning your dream getaway takes time and strategy, especially during busy travel seasons. But don’t worry—this guide will help you know exactly when to start planning for your next trip so you can secure the ideal itinerary, accommodations, and those bucket-list experiences. Swipe through for my top timeline tips for stress-free vacation planning.

📅 DURING THE HOLIDAYS: If you’re planning to travel during the week of Christmas or New Years, start planning at least 8-10 months in advance - longer if you’re looking to travel with a big group of family or friends.

📅DURING PEAK TRAVEL TIMES: For travel that coincides with a traditional break from school - like spring break, summer, presidents’ day week, or fall break - start the planning process at least 6-8 months in advance.

📅 DURING THE OFF-SEASON: You have the best chance of finding last-minute travel availability if you’re traveling during non-peak seasons... but peak seasons vary by destination, so always leave at least 3 months to plan.

So if you're looking to travel next summer: now's the time to start planning! I've already got several summer vacations on the books for my clients now. Want to join them? Message me to get the process started.

🇮🇳 JUST BACK: INDIA 🇮🇳

It's been two days since I touched down in San Diego after 24 hours of flying home from Delhi. I'm still somewhat in recovery mode - fighting off jetlag and a little bit of sickness while catching up on my huge backlog of work - but I'm still reveling in the wonders I explored while I was there.

Like the Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Seeing it in person was like stepping into a dream.

Or the Holi-inspired party hosted by G Adventures, where we covered ourselves in brightly colored powders and marigold petals.

Or the Spice Market in Chandni Chowk, whose scents and flavors I brought home with me in the form of a large sack of edible souvenirs.

Every moment in India was a sensory overload and beyond anything I could have imagined.

🙌🏻 CLIENT TESTIMONIAL 🙌🏻

This is one of my favorite testimonials ever, because let's get real: Reddit and TripAdvisor are NOT reliable sources of travel planning info!

I mean, maybe it is... if you're okay crowdsourcing your vacation from total internet strangers who have no clue who you are, what you value, or how you like to travel.

Me? I'd rather work with a pro who has verified connections, valuable insights, and lots of experience planning travel.

Take it from my client: it's a game-changer.

"Allison has changed the game in terms of my travel expectations. While I love traveling, I HATE the planning portion and usually end up giving up or using whatever I can find on Reddit or Trip Advisor. I have worked with Allison for several trips now, and what a difference."

🌍 WORLD TOURISM DAY 🌍

I'm so delighted to be celebrating World Tourism Day in Jaipur with so many other travel professionals who believe in the power of travel for good.

World Tourism Day isn't just another made-up Hallmark holiday. Today's date - September 27 - marks the anniversary of the adoption of the UN Tourism Statutes.

The United Nations World Tourism Organization plays a crucial role in promoting responsible, sustainable, and universally accessible tourism. They work to enhance the benefits of tourism for communities worldwide by supporting policies that foster sustainable practices, cultural preservation, and economic growth.

The UNWTO also provides valuable data and insights, helping destinations and travelers alike make informed decisions that contribute to a better, more connected world. Their efforts ensure that tourism remains a powerful tool for positive change.

If you've traveled internationally this year: congratulations on fostering meaningful connections and contributing to global peace and prosperity.

🛶 TRIP HIGHLIGHT: THE CANALS OF XOCHIMILCO 🛶

Gliding along the ancient canals of Xochimilco on a traditional 'trajinera' boat is a multi-sensory and quintessentially Mexican experience. The brightly-coloured boats pass by with everything from local families, to mariachi bands to vendors selling tacos or flowers.

Many of these aspects of traditional popular culture also served as an influence in the artwork of Frida Kahlo, one of Mexico's most famous artists who grew up in the nearby neighbourhood of Coyoacán, in Mexico City's southern reaches.

Imagine doing this with other women who love to travel and explore just as much as you do!

🛳️ WHY I LOVE RIVER CRUISING IN EUROPE 🛳️

With my clients setting sail on their own river cruise right now, I'm thinking about how there’s something truly magical about exploring Europe from the deck of a river cruise.

Here are some of my favorite reasons why river cruising is such a fantastic way to see this beautiful continent:

🧳RELAXING JOURNEYS, Say goodbye to the hassle of constantly packing and repacking your bags. On a river cruise, you only have to unpack once, allowing you to settle into your cozy cabin and focus on enjoying your journey. It’s like having a luxurious floating hotel room that follows you to each stunning destination.

🌙DELIGHTFUL EVENINGS. Evenings onboard are a delight with delicious meals included and prepared by expert chefs. Enjoy local entertainment and breathtaking views of the riverbanks as you dine. It’s the perfect way to unwind and reflect on your day’s adventures.

❤️ INTIMATE IMMERSION. Unlike larger cruise ships, river cruises offer a more intimate and personal experience. With fewer passengers, you can immerse yourself fully in the destination, enjoying a sense of connection with both the places you visit and the people you meet.

Ready to experience the charm and convenience of river cruising? Let’s craft your perfect European adventure together! 🌍✨

✈️ HOW TO AVOID SINGLE SUPPLEMENTS ✈️

Solo travelers, ever been frustrated by those extra costs for traveling alone on cruises and tours? As someone who solo travels a LOT: I’ve got you covered!

Here’s how I help you avoid single supplements and make the most of your travel budget:

👋🏻 WAIVED SINGLE SUPPLEMENTS. I keep an eye out for specific cruise itineraries and tour departures where single supplements are reduced or waived, ensuring you get the best deal.

🛏️ SOLO TRAVELER CABINS. Some cruise ships offer cabins designed specifically for solo travelers. I know where to find them to give you a comfortable and affordable option.

🎉 GROUP TRIPS. Join specially curated group trips where you can meet like-minded travelers and find someone to share accommodations with, saving money and making new friends.

Traveling solo doesn't have to mean extra expenses!

🌍✨ "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness." – Mark Twain ✨🌍

This powerful quote resonates deeply with my belief in the transformative power of travel. Community tourism is not just about visiting new places; it’s about immersing ourselves in the cultures, traditions, and lives of the communities we encounter. It’s about traveling with purpose, fostering understanding, and making a positive impact.

I’m beyond excited to be embarking on a journey to India with G Adventures, a pioneer in community tourism. 🇮🇳

By participating in community tourism, we support local economies, preserve cultural heritage, and create meaningful connections. It’s travel that enriches both the traveler and the host community, breaking down barriers and building bridges of understanding.

Join me on this adventure and let’s embrace the world with open hearts and open minds. Follow along with my journey in my Instagram stories and see how traveling with purpose can change your perspective and the world around you. 💫✈️

The other night, I indulged in a mouthwatering Oaxacan feast featuring some of the region's most iconic ingredients: rich mole sauce, spicy mezcal-infused cocktails, and delectable masa cakes topped with lamb birria. 🌶️🌿🍹

Every bite was a reminder of why I can't wait to experience more authentic Oaxacan cuisine on our upcoming women's adventure to Oaxaca and Mexico City in May. From savoring traditional dishes to discovering local recipes, this trip promises a culinary journey like no other.
