As Hurricane Milton approaches, my thoughts are with everyone in its path. I know this is an incredibly frightening time, and while we can't control the storm, we can stand together in support.

To those facing the impact of this hurricane or have loved ones in its path—please prioritize your safety and take care of each other. We will come through to the other side of this. Together! ❤️

Wellness travel is all about slowing down and finding what truly restores you. Whether it’s a wellness cruise with ocean views, unplugging for a digital detox, or reconnecting with nature, there’s something special in these moments of calm and renewal. 🌿✨

What’s your go-to way to recharge?

In search of off-the-beaten-path experiences, but navigating a new place feels a bit too overwhelming? 🙋‍♀️

That’s where a local tour guide comes in! Whether you’re trekking, kayaking, or exploring, having someone who knows the land can turn a good trip into an unforgettable one. 🗺📍

Here’s why having a local tour guide is a game-changer:

☆Insider Knowledge – Local guides know hidden gems and scenic routes you’d never find on your own.

☆Safety First – They keep you safe by navigating risks and challenging terrain.

☆Cultural Immersion – They connect you with local culture, history, and traditions in a way you won’t get from guidebooks.

☆Stress-Free Logistics – They handle permits, routes, and timing, so you can focus on the fun!

👇How to find a great local tour guide:

1. Ask for Recommendations – Fellow travelers, online communities, or travel advisors are great resources.
2. Use Trusted Platforms – For vetted local guides, try platforms like Viator or Project Expedition.
3. Work with Travel Agencies – Adventure-focused agencies (like mine 😉) connect you with experienced local guides.

When we travel, we're often focused on the destination itself, but what we don’t always expect is the personal growth and change that comes from being in a new place. Each journey offers unique challenges and new perspectives. It’s these experiences that help us learn and grow.

What new perspective will your next trip bring?

Traveling doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your fitness and wellness goals!

Here are my top tips to stay energized and balanced while exploring new destinations:

Active Sightseeing: Choose walking tours, bike rentals, or hikes to immerse yourself in local culture and nature. 🚴‍♀️

Portable Workout Gear: Pack resistance bands for quick workouts in your hotel room. You can also use chairs for exercises like tricep dips. 🏋️‍♂️

Hydrate Frequently: Keep a refillable water bottle handy to stay hydrated, especially when exploring new climates or staying active. 💧

Find Healthy Local Meals: Savor regional flavors while choosing nutritious options to avoid feeling sluggish. Enjoy the best of local cuisine and still feel great! 🍽️

Rest and Recovery: Prioritize quality sleep with the help of travel pillows and eye masks. Ensure you’re well-rested and ready for all your adventures. 😴

I hope these tips spark some ideas on how you can blend your wellness routines with your travels!

Which view sets your heart on fire? ❤️🌄 or ❤️ 🌊?
I'll always be a mountains kinda gal, but I'm also drawn to those coastal scenes (especially when they come with mountain views too!).

Whether you're leaning towards the mountains or the coast (or both!), I'd love to hear which one you'd choose for your next adventure.

Comment below and let me know which one and why!

Keep adventuring; you never know what’s around the corner. Stay curious ✨️

I'm not lost. I'm exploring. 🌏✨️

The journey is in the adventure, not the destination. 🫶🏼

Where's your next adventure leading you?

Happy !

What is the 4th without some backyard BBQ?! You can find me doing just that and cooling off by the pool. Later, it's off to the park for fireworks!
How are you celebrating?

I'll be taking off Thursday and Friday (July 4th and 5th) to enjoy the holiday and spend time with friends and family. Wishing everyone a wonderful and safe celebration!
See you all next week! 🎉

Attention Solo Travelers:

Thinking about your first big solo adventure?

You're not alone! Solo travel is becoming increasingly popular as more people embrace the freedom to explore the world on their own.

Here are my top three tips for first-timers:

➡️ Prioritize Safety: Choose destinations known for their safety and welcoming atmosphere for solo travelers. Feeling secure is key to enjoying your journey to the fullest.

➡️ Explore Group Tours: Ease into solo travel with group tours designed for solo adventurers. These tours offer a perfect mix of group activities and individual exploration, giving you the chance to meet new people along the way.

➡️ Prepare for the Unexpected: Keep a list of emergency contacts, including embassy details and local emergency services. Download recommended safety apps and offline navigation tools for times when Wi-Fi isn’t available.

Have you ever been on a solo journey before? If so, list your tips in the comments! 👇

Is it just me or is relaxation totally undervalued? We all want to do it but sometimes it just seems elusive. Who has time to relax in this world of "go, go, go??" 😆

When I feel like I don't have time to relax, that's when I know it's actually time for a vacation - even if it's just a weekend getaway!

When I think of relaxation, it's sitting on a balcony with a gorgeous mountain view, nature’s sounds all around, and a cup of coffee in hand.

Isn't it amazing how a change of scenery on vacation can melt the stress away?

What’s your ideal relaxing vacation scenario?

06/11/2024

Before you even start packing your bags for that next escape, take a moment to reflect on what you’re really seeking from this adventure

What’s stirring in your soul, and why is adventure calling you now?

➡️ How are you feeling – excited, in need of a thrill, or just eager to break free from the daily grind?

➡️ Is this adventure a celebration, an opportunity for new experiences, or simply a chance to relax and recharge?

➡️ Who’s by your side – is this a solo trip or are you bringing family, your special someone, or friends?

Understanding these motives can transform your trip from a simple adventure to a profound journey.

Knowing your "why" helps craft an itinerary that’s not just about ticking off experiences, but about fulfilling a deeper quest.

So, let’s uncover what makes your heart race and your spirit soar.

Hey Foodies 👋 Wondering how to make sure you don’t miss out on the best food spots during your travels?

Here are a few key things to consider:

➡️ What’s your ideal food experience? Whether it’s gourmet dining, trying local dishes, or perhaps diving in and cooking up some traditional foods yourself, decide what you enjoy and make it top of your list.

➡️ How long is your trip? If you’ve got plenty of time, you can explore far and wide. But if it’s just a quick trip, you’ll want to hit the best spots while keeping an eye out for those hidden gems not found on your typical travel guides.

➡️ Ever gotten tips from others? Some of the gems are often found by word-of-mouth. I love scavenging and connecting with locals to find the best dining spots. For instance, when a group of my clients was recently in Juneau, I sent them to “The Rookery Café." They loved it! It’s got a cozy, art-decor vibe and focuses on fresh, locally-sourced meals.

Have you ever heard of the hotel hierarchy? I didn't either until I delved into the travel industry. Turns out, where you book and who you book with matters. 🏨 • Level 1: Partner with a savvy travel agent who has industry connections - if you enjoy personalized service, exclusive perks, and stress-free booking and support, this is the level you want! • Level 2: Opt to book directly with the hotel or on their website - For overall great service, this option is for you! This is where things start to get tricky: • Level 3: Book with a credit card & • Level 4: Book through an online platform - Both 3 & 4 can come with surprise fees and hidden charges, no perks, getting bumped if the hotel is overbooked, and no refunds. Elevate your stay by booking with a travel agent ! 🏨✨️ @candycarouselvacations #CandyCarouselVacations #LuxuryTravelAdvisor #HotelTips #PersonalizedTravel #CustomizedTravel #BespokeTravel #LuxuryGetaways
