Just imagine yourself coming back to work and telling your colleagues: "That was my best vacation yet." It's quite a prestigious label to give to a vacation, and one that might feel like a pipe dream that would only happen if all of the stars aligned just right. And while I definitely believe there is always a reason for every twist and turn on a vacation experience, our best vacation yet usually...

We all want our vacations to be stress-free, but it's actually pretty common that vacations don't feel that way. Sure, air travel delays or grumpy travel companions are often top contenders for the main cause of stress on a trip, but if we're being honest, sometimes the stress is self-inflicted, thanks to a common blind spot in our vacation planning.

So you have this amazing destination on your bucket list, but let's be real – learning an entire foreign language before your trip is probably not gonna happen. And that's totally okay! But I'm likely not the first person to tell you that picking up a few key phrases in the local language can make a world of difference.

You dream about waking up to the smell of breakfast being cooked by your own private chef on vacation. Or about taking in the sunset from the most coveted room with a view at that boutique hotel. You dream about it, but then reality often crashes in with a harsh reminder: those indulgent experiences usually come with a hefty price tag. Forget the misconception that luxury travel is an all-or-nothi...

How often are you taking a vacation these days? Have you settled into a routine of one or two trips a year? How do you feel about that? I have always been good at taking consistent vacations, but it's also easy to get stuck in a cycle of how many vacations seem  'normal' or 'allowed' instead of admitting that we truly crave more adventure in our lives. So on this short-and-sweet episode, let's unc...

I only travel with a very select few people. One of them: my not-so-travel-obsessed hubby. When I had the idea to have him come onto the show as a guest, I was so surprised he didn't shoot down the idea immediately, but it was a blast having him on. Our chat turned into a laid-back reminiscing session about our very first adventure abroad that we took early in our relationship. What my husband ref...
