Hi and welcome to the Deeper Than Money podcast. I am your host, Chloe Elise. I'm a millennial money

coach speaker, dog mom, and a seven on the enneagram, and I am on a mission to prove to you

that finances can be fun and easy. On the Deeper Than Money podcast, we will dive

into all things millennial finance, debt, saving mindset, and how to have financial freedom

to enjoy life in your 20s and 30s. I want you to leave this podcast with more confidence around

your Moolah and the belief that your biggest financial dreams are

possible for you. So let's talk money. Today I'm going to be talking about some of my

favorite travel budget hacks and my favorite ways to save money while traveling and also talk a

little bit about my trip to Cabo. So we, I surprised Shea with a trip to Cabo for his 29th birthday and got our best friends

to go to. It was awesome. It was such a fun trip. But I had a lot of people asking me not only about

travel and money, but also about COVID and COVID precautions during the trip and what my thoughts were on

travel and all things like that. So I wanted to touch on both of those too. So I'll start a little

bit about just the the COVID parts of the trip. And here's the thing. COVID is real and we have to be, we have to be diligent.

We have to be wearing masks and not only protecting ourselves because protecting ourselves protects

others. So then we're not spreading it, but also protecting other people. And so it was really

important to us that we were not going to travel until we could travel based on CDC guidelines and all of making sure we could do it in a safe manner.

And so, and I'll kind of walk you through what those things look like for us on this trip.

But I also, I had a couple comments on my post about traveling to Cabo where people would say,

oh, like, you know, you shouldn't be romanticizing travel right now during a pandemic.

And here are my thoughts on this.

And I'm not saying this is for everyone.

And that's totally fine if you disagree with me.
