❌5 Things NOT to Do If You Want the Best Vacation❌

1. Don’t Wing It at the Last Minute

The thrill of spontaneity is great for a weekend getaway, but not for your dream vacation. Last-minute bookings can leave you stuck in undesirable accommodations or missing out on must-see experiences. A well-thought-out plan can turn a good trip into an unforgettable one.

2. Don’t Be a ‘List Completer

We all love ticking off bucket list items, but don’t fall into the trap of checking boxes instead of truly experiencing a place. Spend time wandering off the beaten path, chatting with locals, or soaking in the culture instead of just rushing to the next landmark.

3. Don’t Assume Every Restaurant with a Good View Has Good Food

It’s tempting to pick the picturesque café overlooking the ocean, but tourist traps often hide behind the prettiest backdrops. Instead, look for recommendations from locals or travel advisors who know where the real culinary gems are.

4. Don’t Use Your Phone Like a Tourist

Sure, maps and guides are handy, but if you’re glued to your screen, you’ll miss the essence of your surroundings. Try walking without a GPS, exploring neighborhoods by instinct, and letting serendipity guide your path. You might discover something incredible that no app can recommend.

5. Don’t Skip Using a Travel Advisor for the Important Stuff

DIY booking sounds liberating, but there’s a reason travel advisors exist—they have insider access, perks, and expertise that you can’t find online. Skipping one could mean missing out on VIP upgrades, unique experiences, and avoiding common travel mishaps. Let the expert fine-tune the details so you can focus on enjoying the adventure.

🙋🏼‍♀️Hey there! It’s been awhile so time to share a bit about myself again…

I’m Ashly, 39, mom to three awesome kids (ages 8, 5, and 3) and wife to a Police Sergeant 👮🏻‍♂️. My travel style is hitting every sight but at my own pace, I’m not one for pre-booking a ton of tours — unless it’s cruising through a new city in on tuk-tuk 🛺 (big fan of tuk-tuk/golf cart tours). I’m the person holding up the group in a castle museum because I must read every plaque. However, I can easily spend a week doing absolutely nothing on a beach in Mexico (as long as there’s an ice cold 🍻 within reach)

My love for travel started when my mom took me on unforgettable vacations growing up. She, her best friend, and her friend’s daughter and I took a trip to Europe, and from then on, I was hooked! Years later, I took that passion to the skies, becoming a flight attendant for Emirates Airlines 🇦🇪. I was able to travel the world, landing in a new country every few days, before settling down, starting a family, and now building my own travel business.

Now, after a little over a year , I’ve built a successful travel planning service that thrives mostly on referrals and a bit of Instagram magic. Next up? A travel conference with my host agency, Fora, in NYC where I’ll meet with suppliers from around the world to make sure I’m bringing my clients the best experiences.

Thanks for following along—I can’t wait to share more adventures with you!

Planning a winter trip to Europe? Don’t forget these unique essentials! ❄️

1. **Foldable Boot Bag:** Keeps your suitcase clean and organized by separating muddy or wet boots from your clothes.
2. **Portable Hand Warmer:** Small and rechargeable, it provides instant warmth during chilly sightseeing or outdoor activities.
3. **Insulated Water Bottle:** Keeps your drinks hot for hours, perfect for staying warm while exploring.
4. **Travel-Sized Fabric Freshener:** Freshens up clothes if you don’t have access to laundry facilities, keeping your garments smelling nice.
5. **Snow and Ice Traction Cleats:** Slip them over your shoes to prevent slipping on icy sidewalks and ensure safer winter walking.

These items will keep you comfortable and prepared for any winter adventure. Safe travels!

Cleaning out my cupboards this weekend, I found my old glühwein mugs from Christmas markets past, and it’s got me reminiscing! 🎄✨ As I’m planning a couple of trips, my clients are getting excited about visiting Europe’s magical Christmas markets. Here are 4 of my favorites to consider this year:

1. **Munich, Germany** – Dive into Bavarian charm at Marienplatz with beautiful lights, handcrafted ornaments, and delicious treats.
2. **Vienna, Austria** – The elegance of Vienna’s market at the Rathausplatz is unbeatable, with its stunning backdrop and delightful ice skating rink.
3. **Strasbourg, France** – Known as the Capital of Christmas, Strasbourg’s market is all about tradition and magical decorations.
4. **Prague, Czech Republic** – The Old Town Square transforms into a winter wonderland, complete with a giant tree, wooden huts, and carol singers.

Although availability is getting tight, there are still some gorgeous options to enjoy these festive spots. I also read an article yesterday predicting that airline prices to Europe for Christmas might drop in October—just something to keep an eye on. 👀

Wondering what *luxury* means when you work with a travel advisor? 🌟 To me, luxury is all about personalized experiences that cater to your unique preferences.

For some, luxury means flying first class and staying in 5-star hotels. For others, it’s the convenience of fast-track airport services and private transfers, or not having to sift through countless hotel options. It can also be having every detail of your week meticulously planned so you can simply enjoy.

My job is to understand what luxury means to you and provide that bespoke service. With our partnerships with top luxury brands, I can often include exclusive perks like complimentary upgrades at no extra cost. Imagine being surprised with an oceanview room when you originally booked a city view!

All travel is a luxury, but planning it with me takes it to the next level. Visit my website to see how we can add a touch of luxury to your next trip.
