Very excited to catch up with my biz buddies and friends and reminisce ❤️

A retreat is like a vacation for the brain

🌟 Renee Hribar, Renee Hribar Sales Strategist (and our retreat hostess)

➨ Collaborations were born. Ideas were born. Tears were shed.

🌟 Amalie Shaffer, Systematic Excellence

➨ The power of the group. Getting the outside perspective can really change things for you.

🌟 Maggie Frank-Hsu, MFH Consulting: Writing Coaching

➨ The energy and magic that came out of knowing people pretty well before (and then) meeting in person.

🌟 Irena Chace Miller, Energy Adventures with Irena

➨ Common connection, this deep relationship that’s formed all of a sudden over just realizing how human we are and the ability to nurture each other.

🌟 Deborah Ager, Writing Coach at Deborah Ager

➨ It was just fun to be in this completely different environment. There’s something about the energy that was really cool of the place and the geography.

🌟 Janine Esbrand, LightBox Coaching

➨ The connections we were able to build in that time was just amazing. The little conversations we had about life in general.

🌟 Doresa Ibrahim, Acceleration Consultant

➨ The relationships. Most of us are still in contact. We support one another. That’s invaluable.

🌟 Wendy Livingston Guth, Rebel on the Go Travel

➨ The ability to create a space. There was so much conversation. So much sharing.

🌟 Candie Conat, My Back Office Coach

➨ Everybody takes her turn up in front of everyone and talks about her back story and what she needs help with. Everybody gives her input. That’s my favorite part.

Happy National Travel Advisors Week!

Why should we keep travel on our minds?

From the perspective of a Rebel on the Go …

🌟 Travel creates the space to get out of your comfort zone

🌟 Travel gets us to move under our own power

🌟 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!

🤔 Your own small groups (social bubbles) of friends and family. Travel together!!

➨ Biking trips with Backroads to Vermont, Kentucky, Wisconsin, New Mexico (states I haven’t been to yet!)

➨ G Adventures Wellness to Costa Rica for a girls retreat

➨ G Adventures Sailing the British Virgin Islands with the Family

➨ National Geographic Family Adventures to the Alaskan Wilderness

It’s okay to want to travel again!!

🌜 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

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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 …

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

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.

😩 How about a bad test result two days before Christmas?

After getting some family history a few weeks ago, I made a doctor’s appointment for an annual physical. It was on a whim. I didn’t expect anything to be wrong. But on Monday evening, my doctor told me preliminary blood results indicate I am diabetic.

Pretty horrifyingly bad Christmas gift.

I’ve spent the week thinking … What does this mean? How does this impact my life? What does it do for traveling?

Well …

→ I don’t have all the answers. That’s why I turn to professionals - doctors - who know a lot more than I do and can allow me to make informed decisions.

→ How important it is to be mindful of exercising, eating, drinking water. Even traveling. Mindfulness needs to be more than just lip service.

→ As a lover of cruising, I know how difficult it can be to watch what you eat … on most ships. I am even more excited that my next cruise will be on Virgin Voyages. With no buffets and assigned dining rooms, I will have lots of eating choices. Also, there is an emphasis on wellness onboard. Whether I feel like yoga or boxing, spinning or weights, I can pick and choose what I want to do.

→ Trips around wellness are more my focus. Wellness = Spas. If you aren’t a member of @RebelontheGo, join now if you want to see my post about the best spas in the world. I need to make sure I am as healthy as I can be.

→ Be more active when I travel. I’m looking at experiences - like National Geographic Journeys, Uncruises, Backroads and Austin Adventures - with biking, hiking, kayaking, trekking options while still enjoying creature comforts AND food options that meet my new dietary needs. And to incorporate lots of activity into upcoming trips to San Juan and Stockholm.

This will be my last video before we hit 2020. I wish everyone a wonderful New Year's Eve and a great, great start to 2020.

Coming to you LIVE from the beautiful and peaceful Officers' Landing! ⛵️⛵️⛵️

My life was very different 5 years ago when I first did a Mind Valley exercise, "3 Most Important Questions." Answering these questions will lead to a "Blueprint Into Your Soul."

Set the right type of goals -

➨ Not the "means lead to the end" kind

➨ End Goals that answer: "What it is I really want? What would truly make me happy?

➤ Put aside about 5 minutes of time.

➤ Print off this sheet - http://bit.ly/3ImpQuestions

➤ There are 3 buckets - spend 90 seconds on each bucket, writing whatever comes into your mind.

Here are the questions:

1. What do you want to experience in life?

2. How do you want to grow and develop yourself?

3. How do you want to contribute to the world?

It was so cool to see how the seeds were planted five years ago:

"Finding My Jamie Fraser" - which I have!!

"Drive a Jeep" - which I do 🚙

"Trips with Kids to Germany" - which I did!

"Learn to Kayak" - YES!!! We know I did 🛶

"Meditate" - which I do while kayaking

As a Transformational Travel Coach, this exercise is particularly powerful. No better time to focus on both transformation and travel as we head into 2020.

2020 - Because You Can.

Excited to add to your bucket travels, the JUST ANNOUNCED NEW Virgin Voyages #2 Ship - The Valiant Lady. Starting in May of 2021, she will sail the Mediterranean on 7 Day Cruises.

🤩 Synonymous with the Rebel on the Go brand - step out of your comfort zone, making your own rules, customizing to your wants and needs and desires.

🤩 Designed for non-cruisers looking for an incredible experience.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1. Stay close to shore.
2. ➤ You don't have to venture far (unless you want to). Stepping out of your comfort zone can happen almost anywhere you want it to.

➤ Have a buddy with you. Who do you like to travel with?

1. Keep moving. You won't feel the rocking as much.
2. Have good "equipment" to maximize your experience.
3. ➤ Paddle keeps you moving without exhausting you
4. ➤ Focus on your core for balance
5. Celebrate!
6.

❣️I’m excited to have Cate Almgren, National Accounts Manager for GoGo Vacations, here with me today!

🤔 Do you think travel makes a good gift?

→ Instead of giving something that will end up in landfills, what better thing to give then the gift of travel? Travel is so meaningful. Whether a weekend in New York or a week in Paris, there is something for everyone when it comes to travel and especially for multigenerational families. Not only are we helping the environment, we’re building better family memories.

→ Current Hot Spots: Caribbean and Mexico – ease of all-inclusives. Also, London and Paris.

🤔 How can GoGo Vacations create adventures for:

→ Through their own preferred partnerships. It’s all about who we partner with to make the experience. GoGo’s connections make it easy to put it all together – hotel, airfare, transfers, activities. As little or as much as the client wants.

→ No hassle. Streamlined. One-stop shopping. 24-hour access.

→ Knowing the properties, so:

Multigenerational families – connecting rooms.

Couples traveling together – being in the right tower.

Girls’ Getaways – private space for cocktail parties.

🤔 How many properties do you have in your inventory?

→ GoGo Vacations has over 18,000 properties in Europe, Asia, Australia, North America, Central America, and the Caribbean.

→ Many are Virtuoso Properties so amenities are passed along. GoGo also offers its own amenities program, My Time.

🤔 What is your favorite GoGo Vacation that you’ve taken?

→ Maui!

→ Though every place is different. You’re going to get something completely different in Thailand than you’ll get in Europe. They are all favorites.

→ Our family rule: When you’re traveling, you must do something you wouldn’t normally do. Whether it’s trying new food or ziplining or something involving the ocean, try something outside of your comfort zone that you wouldn’t do in normal life, you must do while you are traveling.

🤔 When you hear “Travel Like Your Life Depends On It”?

→ Make you think about where you want to go and what you need to do.

→ Life’s so short.

❤️❤️ Thank you so much, Cate, for joining me!

Can You Believe It's November? And the Holiday Season Will Soon Be Upon Us!?!

Just back from two weeks of traveling, Craig and I are kayaking with the kids. The kids have already informed us that they've started their holiday lists.

What is transformational travel? According to the Transformational Travel Council:

Transformational travel is intentionally traveling to stretch, learn and grow into ways of being and engaging with the world (and I add more specifically - with yourself, your family, your friends, and those you work with).

How do I work with my clients?

By creating transformational travel experiences:

➽ Stepping outside of your comfort zone

➽ Discovering your interests and passions

➽ Connecting/re-connecting with your family and friends

➽ Allowing time for self-care and self-reflection

➽ Creating your own personal adventure

What do my clients need to do?

➽ Set an intention for their travel experience. How do they want to feel at the end?

➽ Travel with that intention

➽ Be open and mindful as they travel to the new experiences

➽ Challenge themselves by engaging in physical and/or cultural experiences

➽ Take the time for personal reflection and meaning making
