Episode 6: Travel Takeaways and Tips

Today we are talking all about one of my favorite hobbies: travel!


Recently, my husband, Patrick, and I traveled to Canada (Vancouver and Whistler). After a summer spent at home in Santa Barbara, this was the first true vacation (and international trip) that we have taken in a while. As we all know, travel comes with its highs and lows and successes and headaches. I’ve been reflecting on our trip, and I wanted to share some tips and observations about traveling with you all (some more serious than others):


• Change is constant
• Casual clothing at the airport
• Trusty reusable water bottles  
• TSA PreCheck and Global Entry for the win
• The unfasten-seatbelts ding moment
• Airport hotels really are convenient
• Why we usually don’t rent a car
• Make plans, but also, don’t
• Chat with the locals
• The souvenir that I always buy

I hope that this episode will be useful for your future travels! As always, if you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, share, or leave a star rating and review. You can always reach me by email or send me a DM too. Thank you!

Vision boarded too hard and then got nervous about Vision boarded too hard and then got nervous about speaking in front of 100 people lol. 😅

What an honor to speak to students at the @sbplibrary as a panelist for @jlsantabarbara’s Career Exploration Fair. 👏🏻 

I wish I would’ve attended an event like this when I was in high school! Very impressed by the students’ thoughtful questions as well. 💓

Do you believe in vision boards? I try to make one every year now! 🎉

The dreamiest date night spot: @sanysidroranch 💞 The dreamiest date night spot: @sanysidroranch 💞

What a fun night sipping cocktails, eating delicious bites, and listening to live music at The Speakeasy. Great news for my locals, longtime menu favorites like the mac & cheese and baby back ribs are on the menu too! 👏🏻 

Can you believe how beautiful and charming this spot is? Also, no, I’m not over those desserts. 😍
