Unsure about traveling? Let's talk openly about it

If you’ve found yourself staring at flight deals one minute and checking the news the next, wondering, “Is this really the right time to travel?”—you’re not alone.

As a Travel Advisor, I’ve had this conversation with many clients lately.

And the truth is, it’s a fair question.

With the world feeling a little upside-down—economically, politically, and globally—it’s natural to feel unsure.

You might be wondering:

Should I hold on to my savings? Is it even safe to travel? Am I being responsible by booking a vacation right now?

Let’s unpack all of that—without the fluff, without the fear, and definitely without the guilt.

First: Let’s talk about mental health

Travel isn’t just a “nice-to-have.” For many people, it’s part of how we decompress, connect, and feel alive. Whether it’s sipping coconut water on a beach, walking ancient cobblestone streets, or just breaking free from the day-to-day grind, travel gives our brains and hearts the reset they need.

In uncertain times, joy isn’t something to delay—it's something to protect.

If travel helps you protect your peace, your relationships, or your mental wellness, it’s okay to see it as part of your self-care—not just a luxury.

Travel vs. Saving: It’s not either/or

We all know it’s smart to save money. That’s a given. But “saving” doesn’t always mean waiting. And “spending” doesn’t mean being reckless.

What you can do is make smart, intentional choices:

• Pick destinations that give you more value for your dollar

• Book early and take advantage of promotions

• Work with a travel advisor (👋 hi, that’s me!) to find the right balance between adventure and affordability

• Consider travel insurance to protect your investment

The reality?

There are no guarantees, whether you travel or stay home. But you can plan wisely, protect your money, and still enjoy the trip of a lifetime.

But is it safe to travel?

It’s a great question—and one I take very seriously. Here’s the truth:

There is no such thing as 100% risk-free travel (just like there’s no 100% risk-free staying at home).

But with the right preparation, flexibility, and guidance, you can absolutely travel safely and smartly.

As your travel advisor, I stay on top of current advisories, health protocols, entry requirements, and real-time destination updates so you don’t have to. I also help you:

• Choose safer regions or times to travel

• Understand what’s covered under insurance

• Have a back-up plan in case something changes

That way, you can travel with clarity—not confusion.

The bottom line: You deserve to live, too

If your gut says you need a break, a new perspective, or just a little joy—listen to it. Life won’t always wait for the “perfect time,” and sometimes the smartest thing you can do is say yes to the experience now.

And if you’re still not sure? That’s okay, too. Let’s talk. I’m here to help you figure out what feels right for you—whether that’s an international escape, a local retreat, or just planting the seeds for the future.
