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!

EMVITAL by BTL is a non-invasive laser therapy dev EMVITAL by BTL is a non-invasive laser therapy device that can help with muscle and joint pain, stiffness, spasms, and minor arthritis discomfort. 👏🏻 

After my car accident, the left side of my body was left very tight, and I was experiencing pain in my lower back. @bissellclinic targeted the area with the EMVITAL laser, and I believe it really helped with my recovery. ❤️‍🩹 

The sessions are under 30 minutes, and I would almost fall asleep every time lol. 🤷‍♀️ 

You can always contact @bissellclinic to learn more or to book an appointment. 🗓️ 

Seems like an easy and relaxing treatment, right? 😊
