Why should we keep travel on our minds?

From the perspective of a Rebel on the Go …

🌟 Travel allows us to savor moments

What am I thinking about for my personal travel?

🤔 New!!

➨ The Scarlet Lady (new!) to Bimini (new beach club!)

➨ The Emerald Azzurra (new!) with only 100 passengers onboard!

What does a travel advisor do when the world can’t travel?

🌜 Dream about traveling, of course 😊

… From the perspective of a traveler …

🤔 What do I want to see the new standard operating procedures for travel to be?

1. A focus on local and regional travel – road trips and Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives

2. High level of health and safety standards for accommodations and transportation

3. Traveling in small groups with people I know and am comfortable with that allows for social distancing

4. Using travel suppliers who are flexible and accommodating

5. Focusing on destinations that have a solid infrastructure to accommodate travelers while still care about sustainability

🔥Traveling under your own power – hiking, biking, walking, kayaking, skiing 🔥

🔥 We don't want fear to ever overwhelm us. But fear can lead to cautiousness and prudence, which is a good thing 🔥

What will it take for you to travel again? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

I want to share an incredible (and free!) interview series with you - “Because I Can” – a powerful woman’s guide to creating the life she wants. Click here for details - https://www.rebelonthegotravel.com/because-i-can

Yield to Taxiing Aircraft

Creating real, radical, life-changing travel experiences for rebellious women … wherever we can get it.

🌟 Travel improves your relationships and creates connections.

Traveling under my own power is my mission and my mantra. But my own power means something different right now. I’ve turned my power inward to daydream and fantasize … about travel.

Why travel?

🌟 Travel rewires your brain. It creates new experiences which create new neuropathways.

🌟 Travel improve your relationships and creates connections.

🌟 Travel experiences are more valuable than things. Experiences create memories. Things generally don’t.

🌟 Wellness aspect. Vitamin D and activities.

These elements make travel so valuable. They can be used to add fulfillment to our lives and ultimately create happiness. That can be had even when you’re inside because ultimately the power is wherever you put it. Stay tuned …

Who’s up for some daydreaming?

In these chaotic times, you might say …

I’m too busy ➨ really mean “not a priority.” Make self-care a priority. Feed your soul and keep your mind healthy.

Isn’t that frivolous ➨ Coping mechanisms are not frivolous. Self-care is not frivolous, it’s absolutely critical.

A rebel doesn’t daydream ➨ I’m confined in my home. Physically constrained, so my mind is off and wandering. Daydreaming gives me mental freedom I don’t physically have right now.

Creating a ritual to daydream helps overcome:

1. Fear

2. Uncertainty

3. Monotony

4. Loneliness

Toolbox, especially for chaotic times:

1. Daydreaming

2. Meditating

5. Relaxing in the bathtub (or on a hammock)

6. Reading

7. Conversing

8. Exercising

9. Hobbies – new and old

Look at your toolbox and incorporate into your daily schedule. Create a positive mindset. This includes daydreaming. We all daydream differently. Mine usually involve travel because it is central to relaxing me and bringing me joy.

I was sad to realize I forgot about the International Happiness Day, when the happiest country report is published. I know it can be hard to focus on happiness right now, but it truly can have positive benefits. Take a moment and daydream about:

Seeing the Northern Lights in Finland

Experiencing “hygge” in Denmark

Hiking (or skiing) the Alps in Switzerland

Meandering through the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg

Enjoying classical music in Austria

Walking the “Lord of the Rings” path in New Zealand

Embracing your religious roots in Israel

Relaxing in a volcanic mud bath in Costa Rica

Hiking by day and marketing by night in Taiwan

Creating real, radical, life-changing travel experiences for rebellious women.

🤔 Where?

We live in a crazy world. Unless we live like hermits (which brings up a different set of issues!), we need to learn how to deal.

Here are 5 ways, according to a recent CNN article:

1. Be optimistic - instead of focusing on the world, focus on your local community and your circle of family and friends. Think about what makes you optimistic - laughing, being thankful, exercising, meditating, journaling, traveling, something else?
2. Volunteer - whatever feeds your soul. There are some fantastic travel opportunities with a volunteer focus.
3. Be grateful - wake up in the morning and ask, "what am I grateful for?" Start your day in a positive frame of mind. Visiting different places that increase your gratitude - for what you have and what you are experiencing.
4. Increase your social interaction - we are creatures that require socialization for our mental and physical health. Including local opportunities. Think about traveling solo in a group.
5. Find your purpose. Feel like you exist for something larger than yourself. Is it spiritual, family or social causes? Travel can play a great role in helping you find your purpose. Eco-tourism and voluntourism are very big right now.
