So you've finally decided where you want to go on your next vacation. But then you're met with the super hard next step: figuring out specifically where to go in that destination.

What's the POINT of a vacation? To relax, to explore new places, to eat good food, to enjoy time with your people? Yes, of course.

I want more adventure for you. But the way to have more adventures is not necessarily to go hike a mountain, rappel down a waterfall, or solo backpack through Europe.

We're chatting about how to embrace this adventure mindset on your vacations (and in life) when things go wrong - and also when things go right. And more importantly, we're pulling back the curtain on the ONE key thing that holds us back from adopting this adventure attitude - so it can stop sabotaging those adventures that we're destined for. → Need help sorting out the big picture of a future vacation?

I took a Caribbean vacation with just my hubby when my baby boy was 8 months old, and I had a LOT of feelings to process before the trip about the decision to leave him at home with grandma. Once we got on the trip, I had even more feelings to process, which were different than expected, and after it had been a couple of months since the trip, I could really reflect back on these feelings in a more neutral way.

One of the things I love about being a mother is seeing the wonder of the world through my son's eyes. Everything is so fresh and new, which means feelings of excitement, curiosity, and fun! When we are new to traveling abroad, we take with us those fresh and eager eyes, too. But as we travel to more and more places, our sense of awe and wonder starts to fade a bit, just like it does when transitioning from childhood to adulthood. But traveling the world with a sense of wonder is unlike anything else, and just because we travel more doesn't mean we have to lose those feelings, so I'm sharing with you a list of ideas to bring back the wonder into your travels, even if you've traveled quite a bit. → Need help sorting out the big picture of a future vacation?

What are you actually getting from your travel experiences — and is it really what you wanted in the first place? Travel has been sold to us a certain way for a long time, and many of us have followed the typical vacation script without stopping to ask whether it's actually delivering what we came for. In this episode, a newly released study on what Americans want from travel reveals a telling gap — between what people are hoping to get out of their vacations and what they're actually walking away with.
