Happiest job around--helping people plan exciting memories-in-the-making. I couldn't be more excited for this old friend to soak up some R&R in sunny Mexico!

PSA: Are you feeling antsy about the impending cold weather? Why not escape over Christmas break to the Dominican Republic?!

There are great deals on beautiful resorts!

Have you been to Italy?! Everyone I talk to who has been LOVED their experience. The one city I hear negative reports on is Venice. And the complaint? The CROWDS! If you don't have spring break plans yet, consider Italy! WAY fewer crowds, and mild (if maybe a tad rainy) weather!

If you've been following along, you know that I'm planning a group trip to Finland in 2025. Know that I'm doing all I can to learn a ton and make it the best trip possible!

Fun fact: Finland has the cleanest drinking water in the world! Better than most bottled water!

Where is your next adventure taking you?

I'm dreaming of Nordic landscapes as I plan for Finland 2025. My husband is going to join me to scope out Finland in August, and we decided to add a Norway leg to the trip. If you've been--I'd love all the tips!

Just purchased a couple handy travel items on sale on Amazon. My phone was flopping around on my most recent flight; I had it propped up against my water bottle on my tray table! 🤪

It's that time again! Time for me to remind you to book your spring break 2024 vacation!

I booked my family's spring break trip with Pleasant Holidays because they are a high quality vendor; their customers return again and again for their vacation packages because they showcase wonderful properties in gorgeous destinations. They also specialize in Hawaii. Also, I bet Hawaii is more affordable than you might think!

If you haven't been to Hawaii, don't count Maui out for 2024!

Join us in the summer of 2025! There is a lot left to plan, but no matter what, day one will be in Helsinki, and we will no-doubt want to sample Finland's world-famous strawberries in the market square!

Planning for a summer 2025 group trip to Finland is in the works! If you think this may be a fit for you, comment below! You could have the opportunity to have input in the itinerary! So far, it's looking to be a 7-10 day adventure.

Recognize Duomo Florence in this pic? Italy is a destination that comes to mind when I think of top places to visit in the off-season. Flights are relatively inexpensive, and you get to see all of the beautiful, iconic sites without the sweltering heat and crowds!

Instead of a traditional "beach" spring break last year, we went to Iceland and Bavaria and had THE BEST time!

What places come to mind when you think of off-season travel?

What is a place that is a MUST for warmer weather?

I wrote more about off-season travel in my fall newsletter. Check it out at joyologytravelplanning.com/newsletter
