Summer Travel: Packing Tips
We are in the middle of the year’s busiest travel season: summer.
I’m sure many of you are busy packing for your next trip. I have two tips today that could potentially save you money or help you out in an emergency.
Everyone knows I’m “team carry-on” but I understand some travelers really prefer to check their luggage. Tip #1 goes for those travelers.
1. If you absolutely have to check your bag make sure you take a carry on luggage or backpack with at least 3 days of extra clothing and underwear for more days. I also suggest taking a ziplock with your necessary liquids (toothpaste, shampoo, contact solution, etc.) in case the airline delays or loses your luggage. That way you have a backup while you figure out your next steps.
2. Take a rolled up or flat duffel bag or backpack in your carry-on. This takes up no space in your luggage at the beginning of your trip. As you buy souvenirs or clothing you can start using that extra bag to store it. At the end of your trip try to take it as an extra carry on or if the airline makes you check it at least you’ve only paid for checked luggage for ONE of your flights.
These two tips have really come in handy during some of my longer trips but they can apply for anyone wanting to make travel a little less stressful!
If you have any more travel questions feel free to reach out I’d be more than happy to help.

Did you know? Within the travel industry there are sections of travel based on your preferences?
I'm here to break them down to help you figure out which type of trip you'd like to take!
1. Packaged Tours - Think Globus, G Adventues, EF Ultimate Break. These companies have pre-made tours with set itineraries, dates, activities and hotels. You get an escort for your entire trip.
*Pros: tend to be lower in price (not always) and you see a lot in a short amount of time as transportation is arranged for the entire trip.
*Cons: you have lower independence or free time to explore on your own.
2. Customized Travel - I call it "A la Carte" travel. Pick and choose your destinations, activities, and hotels like you customize your Starbucks latte.
*Pros: get to see as much as you'd like as you dictate your time in destination, less hurried travel.
*Cons: it's more expensive as you work with many different suppliers.
3. All Inclusive - Don't worry about a thing! Usually these are relaxing vacations to resorts (and I also include cruises in this category). You tend to spend most of your time in one place and drinks and food are included.
*Pros: Relaxing, cost tends to be more transparent as food and drink is included (which takes up a lot of in destination budget)
*Cons: You're more confined to the resort or cruise ship. If you like to explore this may not be the best option.
Adventuresque Travel Boutique can help you with all of these types of travel but our specialty are customized itineraries. I love giving advice and helping my clients with any sort of vacation they may have on their mind. If you have questions feel free to DM or email me.

It's Feel Good Friday! I wanted to share a personal post today about the truth behind entrepreneurship.
I recently spoke to Shoutout Miami about the ups and downs of my journey and what drives me to keep going at Adventuresque Travel Boutique. Being on your own is humbling; to say the least. You have to learn from your mistakes, own up to them, and keep providing good service. It's easy to say yes to every job, but the true work goes into working with clients that truly appreciate your hard work and caring attitude.
My driving force behind my business is to always be honest, ethical, and actually care about the memories my clients are making. If not, I'd be no different that Expedia.
I wanted to shout out my circle today, for their endless support and patience during these cycles.

The truth of those "Travel Hacks" on social media
Today’s topic: what’s accurate from those lovely Tik Tok and Instagram “Travel Hack” videos? It’s very easy to get caught up in the beautiful imagery or the “ease” at which these travel bloggers seem to get things. We just don’t know if they were paid to promote a certain service or how long it actually took them to get to a destination.
Again, if you’re not constantly traveling to a destination or booking it, you might want to verify with more research than just a reel or blog post to see if you’re getting the same deal.
Trust the experts when they give you longer guidance!

It feels like a dream... and it looks like one too!
I'm working with a client on her wedding in Scotland and we just booked the most beautiful venue in an authentic Scottish castle just outside of Edinburgh. It's called Borthwick Castle and they not only provide the venue but decorations to match the location, as well as catering, and even a cool ghost piano in their lovely stateroom.
This castle is PERFECT for intimate weddings but can comfortably accommodate larger parties AND it has 13 rooms for the wedding party to spend the night!
I am so excited to coordinate this and see the end result.
Have you ever dreamt of staying inside an actual castle? That's definitely on my bucket list!

If there's a constant in travel it's change.
The United Kingdom is joining the European Union in requiring all travelers that visit to fill out an electronic travel authorization (ETA).
This will be required of ALL travelers, even those that don't require visas to enter, i.e. Americans. This system is not in place yet and has been delayed until at least the end of 2023 but it's important to stay informed to avoid being denied entry into the country.
Travel professionals constantly check on this for their clients for a seamless travel experience and if you're unsure on whether you need it for your next trip it never hurts to ask a pro.
Stay tuned for any updates we will post on our page!

Save this post for a Travel Tip when visiting the Amalfi Coast 📣
I just finished a proposal for a honeymoon in the Amalfi Coast and let me tell you: I was in SHOCK over the prices for a stay in Positano.
Over the last few years, Positano has become extremely popular as "the place" to visit in the Amalfi Coast. This has unfortunately caused hotel prices to skyrocket. But don't fret! The Amalfi Coast is a huge area that can give you amazing views in many of its towns. These include:
* Salerno
* Praiano
* Ravello
* Vietri sul Mare
I found some beautiful alternatives for my clients that still highly rated at half the price. Next time you're looking visit this amazing region in Italy consider the smaller towns for the same experience.

I'd like to officially announce: I'm a showeree for the "Women for Success" Business Shower!
Think of this event as a shower to celebrate the launch of some awesome businesses in South Florida.
So what does this mean for Adventuresque? Every year, Women for Success awards self-identifying women business founders in the local community with a Business Shower Grant and acceptance into a 1-Year Incubator Program.
I've said it from the beginning: being an entrepreneur is HARD and even more so when you don't know what your resources are. Due to this, I think what I'm most excited about is the Incubator Program where I'll get to learn from fellow entrepreneurs and succesful business owners that donate their time to help us succeed.
If you want to learn more about Women for Success and this exciting Business Shower happening January 30, 2023 check out the link below:

2022: what can I say? You have been the most fulfilling year to date. To say this was a big year personally and in my business is an UNDERSTATEMENT.
With your trust and enthusiasm Adventuresque Travel Boutique planned well over 50 trips all over this beautiful world. From the Grand Canyon to Thailand our clients came to us with ideas and we guided them to create not only itineraries but memories they'll carry with them forever.
I never realized how amazing it would feel to watch my clients share their thoughts and experiences and come back home a little more enlightened on the world.
2022 really set the platform for all the great things we have in store for 2023. Watch out for many great projects Adventuresque Travel Boutique is bringing next year.
