Quick question. Did you grow up taking vacations? And just so we're clear, I mean real

vacations, not like you drove to your grandma's house on Thanksgiving or you stayed at a motel

six off the highway kind of vacation or if you were like my family you couldn't afford the motel

six so you just drove through like 16 hours because daddy was making good time not those kind

of trips i'm talking about a real vacation a grown woman vacation the kind where you actually

go somewhere new where you kind where you actually go somewhere new, where you explore, where you rest.

That's a great question. When is the last time you went on a vacation and you came back with your cup

more full than when you left? You come home feeling like a better version of yourself.

I'm talking about that kind of vacation.

And if you didn't grow up taking that kind of vacation, which I definitely didn't, nobody actually

teaches you how. Nobody teaches you how to dream up the kind of vacation that you want to take or how to

plan one or how to budget for them within the

rest of your life. But I really feel like a vacation is one of the greatest gifts that you can

give yourself and certainly one of the greatest gifts you can give your family. And so I want to talk

about it today. I want to tell you all the things that I have learned over years of traveling. I'm going to tell you my

philosophy for a vacation and why I absolutely think that you need to start dreaming of your next one

right now today. I hope that this podcast is a change in your perspective in the way that you

pursue travel and how it can expand your worldview,

how it can grow your heart, how it can make you believe that there is more possibility out

there in the world for you, especially if that is not something that you learned in your family

growing up.
