What does a travel advisor do when the world can’t travel?
🌜 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?
-
A focus on local and regional travel – road trips and Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives
-
High level of health and safety standards for accommodations and transportation
-
Traveling in small groups with people I know and am comfortable with that allows for social distancing
-
Using travel suppliers who are flexible and accommodating
-
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

Yield to Taxiing Aircraft
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 …

Who’s up for some daydreaming?
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:
-
Fear
-
Uncertainty
-
Monotony
-
Loneliness
Toolbox, especially for chaotic times:
-
Daydreaming
-
Meditating
-
Relaxing in the bathtub (or on a hammock)
-
Reading
-
Conversing
-
Exercising
-
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

Cable Beach – Guantanamo Bay, Cuba 🏖
✴︎ Not your typical beach – rocky, ruggedly beautiful
✴︎ Great place to get in touch with nature
✴︎ Great place to collect rocks and coral
Creating real, radical, life-changing travel experiences for rebellious women.
🤔 Where?
We live in a crazy world. Unless we live like hermits (which brings up a different set of issues!), we need to learn how to deal.
Here are 5 ways, according to a recent CNN article:
- 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?
- Volunteer - whatever feeds your soul. There are some fantastic travel opportunities with a volunteer focus.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

🤔What’s the worst Christmas gift you’ve ever received?
😩 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.

3 Most Important Questions...that You Need to be Asking Yourself Right Now!
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:
-
What do you want to experience in life?
-
How do you want to grow and develop yourself?
-
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.

🤔 How would you handle a rocky water ... in a kayak ... with a dog? 🛶 🐶
- Stay close to shore.
- ➤ 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?
- Keep moving. You won't feel the rocking as much.
- Have good "equipment" to maximize your experience.
- ➤ Paddle keeps you moving without exhausting you
- ➤ Focus on your core for balance
- Celebrate!
🎊🎊🎊 Celebrating is so important 🎊🎊🎊
✔️ Celebrate your successes
✔️ Celebrate your steps
✔️ Celebrate your milestones
NOW! Is the best time of year to think about what you want to celebrate in 2020 (and 2021)!
📣 What will you want to celebrate?

❤️ Season of Reflection and Thanksgiving ❤️
I personally am thankful for the experiences I have had and the memories they have created.
My mantra lately has been ... 🌟👉🏼 Give the Gift of Travel 👈🏼 🎁
🤩 Special 🤩 Personalized 🤩 Non-Commercial 🤩
It's about giving experiences that you can SHARE with your loved ones.
🤔 Did you know? Working with a travel advisor usually means you don't pay for your travel 100% up front.
📣 Let's create your next transformational travel experience now
for travel from one month to 3 years from now!
🎉 Special through November 29 -> Click here to get started ➾ https://www.rebelonthego.com/contact

🎁🎉 Giving the Gift of Travel this Holiday Season 🎊🎁
❣️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!

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
