Are you a lover of James Bond movies? I am! Do you remember “Die Another Day”?Do you remember the scenes shot in Iceland?

As a travelpreneur, I remember watching the movie and thinking Snow hotels are like winter wonderlands awaiting exploration. Imagine cozy igloos, frosty-chic cabins in boutique hotels, with all the amenities necessary to stay warm and toasty. Image plates made ice and ice bars where your drinks are as chill as the air. Imagine a once in a lifetime adventure.

Don’t know if I would enjoy temperatures of negative 11 degrees Celsius outside or a warmer negative 4 degrees Celsius indoors ; but it does seem a “kool” bucket list item. Imagine hot tubs under the stars and saunas after chilly outdoor adventures.

How about you? Can you picture yourself in an igloo?

Travel during the holidays can be stressful. Thanksgiving is one of the busiest travel times of the year and with that, the joys of traveling to spend time with family and friends can be a season to remember (or reasons to forget). Here are a few tips to bring more positive experiences to holiday traveling.

1. Preparation and organization can remove both the minor and major irritations associated with travel. As a travelpreneur, I recommend packing a few days ahead. Pull out your carryon and start adding what you will need as you finalize plans.

Medications, meals, stretching your legs, staying warm and hydrated, are some of the considerations of an uneventful travel experience. As with many things, success and intentionality complement each other. Set your intentions and act accordingly.

2. Breathing, meditation and massage. Quite often we are more concerned about getting to the destination than how feel as we travel to the destination. We may not be aware of the amount of tension we are carrying on board along with the luggage. Time spent in the departure lounge offer opportunities for Self-care.

Layover time may not always allow for walking prior to departure but it does offer time for a few deep breaths and mini massages of temple, neck, shoulders and hands (and feet if possible).

Wishing you a safe and enjoyable travel experience in the weeks ahead.

Traveling during the holidays can be a wild ride, especially if traveling with family. Here are some tips to keep the stress at bay! 🎄✈️

1. Breathe In, Breathe Out: Deep breaths! Inhale the festive air, exhale the stress. 🌬️😌

2. Plan Ahead: Outline your travel plans and give yourself some wiggle room. Flexibility is the name of the game! 🗺️🕰️

Snack Smart: Munch on stress-busting snacks. Dark chocolate is a holiday superhero! 🍫🦸‍♀️

3. Entertain Yourself: Bring a book, play your favorite tunes, or listen to a podcast. Distractions are your stress-busters! 📚🎶

4. Spread Cheer: Smile, chat with fellow travelers. A little holiday spirit goes a long way! 😊🎅

5. Stay Hydrated: Water, water, everywhere! Hydration keeps stress away. 💦😅

6. Power of Pause: Take short breaks during your journey. A mini pit-stop for your sanity! 🚗🛑

Hello there fellow travelers, are you an adventure traveler? What why do you love it?

Could Argentina be a Bucklist location?

So many beautiful beaches in the world so little time.

How many of them have you seen?

Travel is both relaxing and stressful. The journey to the destination may require some tips and techniques to stay calm. Here are a few apps that can make the adventure of travel a bit easier.

1. Let’s begin with the Calm app. Meditation and mindfulness on the go. Calm.com

2. App in the air becomes a virtual assistant if you find yourself stuck in the airport and need to make arrangements for flight or hotel accommodations. Appintheair.com

3. Travel creates opportunities to capture and connect while on the go. Did you know there is an app that allows you to send video memos to friends and family? And, the app also prompts them to respond. How kool is that? The name of the app is marcopolo.com

Finally, one of the best apps is the one for the airline carrier. I love the convenience of having updated flight information, like gate changes.

Motivational Monday - Positive Self Talk

Positive self talk are messages to our brain about the how we choose to be and what we value. Perhaps these messages resonate with you as well.

I am a world traveler. I travel for fun, to built lasting memories with family and friends, and to experience life to the fullest.

I travel to learn about the human experience from perspectives different from my own.

I travel for rest and renewal. I travel to enjoy the beauty of nature and its natural wonder. I travel for inspiration.

Share if any of these messages speak to your ❤️ heart.

Motivational Monday.

This says it all.

Ah, imagine being carefree. Your time is your own. Sounds like the perfect time to travel.

What’s on your bucket list or let’s see before we start a family list? Where do you dream about visiting?

05/11/2023

Traveling together as a family is an experience that lasts a lifetime. Yet many who travel fail to protect their investment.

Imagine not having homeowners, health or car insurance? A family vacation can be a big expense and travel insurance is a good decision. After all, the goal is to keep the perfect vacation perfect.
