Travel Tuesday has been growing in popularity, and this year it lands on December 3rd. Many of my travel partners will be offering fantastic discounts—often better than average. One major tour company has already shared a preview, promising up to 30% off guided tours!

So here’s my ask: reach out with your 2025 travel dreams, and I’ll be on the lookout for the best deals to match. And while big platforms like Expedia, Costco, and Booking.com will have some great offers, they can’t provide the personal support you’d get with an experienced travel advisor. Make sure your hard-earned travel dollars are backed by someone who’s been there and knows how to make your trip smooth and stress-free.
