It's rare that I get excited about an all inclusive resort in the Caribbean but this brand new property more than warrants a bit of excitement. Sandals brand new luxury property in Saint Vincent is absolutely incredible! Overwater bungalows, butler service, adults only, and breathtakingly beautiful too!

Did I mention this All Inclusive includes free scuba diving (2 tanks per day) for certified divers!?!?!?!?

FRIENDLY REMINDER: As the holiday season ramps up and things get busy, don’t forget to take a minute for yourself.

In between closing off the travel year and helping clients plan their 2024 Spring Break trips, I’m taking time to relax, refresh, and refocus on what matters most.

I’m filling my own cup so I can be on point to help clients plan their 2024 trips and to be here for clients this Holiday season who are off to trips to Paris, Botswana, Chile, Italy, Portugal and the Caribbean.

Just DM or call me if you have a question or need a little help. Let’s make it through this holiday season together!

Of course everyone can plan their own vacations, but do you really want to? Do you want to add the stress of planning to your already busy plate?

If not, send me a DM and let me take on that work while you just look forward to an incredible vacation!

Can I give you some tough travel love? Yes? Okay, here goes!

Google doesn’t have your back. There, I said it.

Google is a wealth of information about everything, and that’s what is so great about it, but also what’s not so great about it. And especially when it comes to travel.

Google won’t be there to make sure all of your travel documents are in order, call ahead to let the resort or hotel know you’re coming and to treat you like a VIP, or get to know you so the trip you’re taking is tailored with your travel preferences in mind.

But I can do all of those things for you, and more. It all starts with a vacation planning kick off call. Message us to book yours!

I couldn’t agree more with the saying, “gift experiences, not things.” If being a travel agent has taught me anything, it’s that the memories made and the experiences had together are priceless. I see it every single time clients come home raving about their vacations.

If you’re thinking of gifting travel instead of things this year, let's talk! We have many options and gifting levels for every budget!

Send us a message to get started!

This is a PSA for all the beach-loving sun worshipers out there ☀️
There’s no better way to counter the shorter days and colder weather than having a trip on the calendar to count down to.
Just the comfort of knowing you’ll be escaping to sunshine, beaches, and margaritas can be enough to get through those winter blues.

Clients have already locked in trips to Cabo, Curacao, Dominican Republic, and Bahamas. Where do you want to go to beat the winter blues? DM us and let's start planning!

05/11/2022

Thinking about enlisting some help for this year’s winter getaway but not sure where to start?

Over here at Synergistic Travels, it all starts with travel planning kick off call where we deep dive into your vacation goals, logistics, budget etc. then off I go researching and designing your totally customized vacation. We do the work, present you with incredible options and you just tel us what to book.

Sound like the right fit? Send me a message and let's schedule that kick off call!

PRO TIP! Booking a flight somewhere? DO NOT be tempted by the $50 you’ll save by booking on Expedia or another third-party website. Always book direct with the airline so can receive support in the case of a flight cancellation, schedule change, or other things that happens that’s outside of your control. That non-refundable ticket you booked on Expedia isn’t worth the $50 savings. And when you’re ready to delegate things like finding flights, booking hotels, etc, I’m here to help!

Are you curious what it's like to travel expedition style? Check out this 16 minute video chronicle of our recent expedition in Alaska with Nat Geo and Lindblad on the Sea Lion in Southeast Alaska.

There are so many different ways to see Alaska but I highly recommend a small ship expedition. This expedition is truly designed for the curious explorers who want to immerse into the Alaskan Wilderness covering a large area in a short time period. I hosted a group in August 2022 on a sailing aboard...

Most people travel to Rwanda with Gorillas on their mind, but could you imagine waking up to this majestic beast drinking out of the private plunge pool on your suite's patio?? Two words: YES PLEASE!!!!!

I'd happily share my pool with you any day!!! Singita

Singita shared a post on Instagram: "While gorillas normally steal the show, and this is a very rare and special occurance at Singita Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda, these magnificent, gentle tuskers are checking in more and more frequently. Thank you to our guests and for...

There are many reasons why Singita’s Kwitonda Lodge is one of my favorites lodges in all of Africa. I mean… can you imagine this view from your deck.?!?!?!

Do you know what pairs well with my travel planning services?

Your favorite glass of red, white, rosé, or sparkling.

Why? Because while I’m making your travel plans, booking everything, and everything prepared, you can kick your feet up and enjoy a glass with full confidence that you’re taken care of.

Cheers to stress-free travels, and cheers to you.

Where is the best sunset you’ve ever seen? My personal favorite is probably this Mother Nature masterpiece I had the privilege to experience while strolling along Lake Como in Italy. ⁠
⁠
I’ll take my sunset with a side of vino please! Italy is the perfect destination for that! 🍷

The demand to go down under is incredibly high as tourists appear to be making up for lost time. After years of travel restrictions, dream vacations have become even more meaningful and Australia is already a leading destination.

There is a LOT to see and do so our #1 tip, is spend more time on the ground! It's a huge continent and some experiences require traveling a great distance. For many, it's a trip they only make once so do it right!

DM us and we'll design your perfect Aussie Adventure!

Kayak or stand-up paddle board - How do you like to spend your time on the water?

With the benefit of so many different climate zones across the USA, you can be on a kayak, canoe, or stand-up paddleboard just about anywhere, during any season. If being on the water is a must for your escape into the great outdoors, there are tens of thousands of lakes, rivers and shorelines waiting to be explored.

Straddling the state border between California & Nevada, Lake Tahoe offers some of the most scenic kayaking or paddle boarding in the Western USA. Its hidden alcoves, crystalline waters and sandy beaches make it a great spot to spend the weekend.

Have you ever taken a transformative vacation?

If there was ever a time to take stock of everything going on in your life, it’s probably now. Sometimes we reach a bend or fork in the road, and we need some guidance on which path to take. Travel can be great for this.

According to the Transformational Travel Council, “we suffer from a crisis of good travel. We are increasingly disassociated from the things that matter most - each other, experiences, and our communities and impact.”

What do you think about that?

Travel can be a way for us to gain some new perspective on our own lives and create some space from any conflict or difficulties we may be struggling with. Sometimes an awe-inspiring landscape can give us the clarity we need.

We call it Retaliation Vacation - it's an FU to Covid! Travelers are making up for lost time and rearranging their priorities. https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/revenge-travel-explainer/index.html

After years of being sequestered by Covid, some people are planning to settle their score with the virus by splurging on epic getaways and coining the phrase "revenge travel." Here's what that actually means.

Cheers to life’s simple pleasures! Things like watching the sunrise, sipping wine on a piazza in Rome at the end of a day exploring the city or closing your eyes and listening to the ocean waves from your beach lounger. This is why I love to travel, and this is why I love helping others travel and see the world.

What’s one of life’s simple pleasures that you love? Tell me in the comments!
