As a travel advisor, I want to go everywhere, see everything, visit every country. So I will start this blog with a confession. I haven’t visited Portugal yet. I was planning on visiting Portugal in this year, but of course, like all things travel, it was cancelled due to Covid-19.
The consumersadvocate.org contacted me this morning regarding my previous blog post about “How the Travel Industry Works” and they completed over 200+ hours of research on travel insurance in the post pandemic traveling world.
Visiting the European Christmas market is an amazing way to kick off any holiday season. Start with an amazing river cruise, and travel back through centuries as you walk along cobblestone streets through grand cities and historic towns bedecked with twinkling Christmas trees and lined with wooden huts gleaming with handcrafted treasures.
So how does that travel industry work? When I first got into the business, of course, I thought it would all be fun and shiny objects! While it is a lot of fun, it is a business, and there are moments that can be pretty darn challenging! (Especially this year!)
In these times of “sheltering” at home, I thought sharing new recipes or cocktails might be fun. This week, I am featuring the Olympia Cocktail, which has an awesome video of the famous Savoy Hotel in Britain creating “their” version. Enjoy!
During times like these, I find that baking tends to calm me down, yet sometimes it’s hard to come up with creative ideas that Richard and I will both like (enter melting chocolate cake).
The news hasn’t been good: business and schools have shut their doors. Heck, even some countries have shut down. And the story is awful in other ways. For instance, I read that the divorce rate in China is heading north, and social distancing is to blame. Apparently, lots of forced alone time is not beneficial to many relationships. Date nights are a perfect way to keep you close.
Thinking about a staycation? Colorado has some of the top resorts that are drivable from Denver! People come from all over the world to visit our great state, however, since we live here, we tend to take Colorado for granted. So, here are the top resorts drivable from Denver!
With 195 countries, where on earth will you go next? The sky is the limit. I have some stunning inspirational ideas to get the imagination going. As I am partnered with some of the most prestigious travel resources in the world, I can create authentic, custom-tailored experiences for my clients.
Better late than never…. It was almost time to pack your bags. You had your itinerary on your phone and the documents were arriving soon. Maybe you even received your client gift already too.
