Slow down and enjoy the simple things in life. I’m working to adopt this more in my life. I recently tried slow travel via train with @rockymountaineer and it blew my mind! I’ll be sharing more deets about my cross-Canada 🇨🇦 rail adventure next week.

How to save money during your family vacation (SAV

How to save money during your family vacation (SAVE THIS) | Even for the most frugal traveler, travel expenses can add up quickly. Here are a few tips we use to help cut down on some of the cost when we’re on vacation:⁠⁠
⁠⁠
1. Stay in a vacation rental or any ⁠⁠accommodation with a kitchen. This will help ⁠⁠you cut back on the expense of eating out 3 meals a day. After we
check-in, we usually go to a grocery store to pick up enough food for a few meals. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
2. Consider not staying close to all the action. If ⁠⁠you stay on the outskirts of a destination, it ⁠⁠
provides ⁠great savings since everything from ⁠⁠accommodations, gas, and even groceries are ⁠⁠cheaper the further away from tourist centers.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
3. Avoid souvenir shops. Instead visit the local Target or ⁠⁠Walmart (or an local equivalent) to get more affordable souvenirs for ⁠your ⁠friends and family.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
4. Decide on a budget before your trip and stick ⁠⁠to it. I found that it’s easiest to stick to your ⁠budget when you use cash. That way, you will ⁠⁠know exactly when your well runs dry.⁠⁠ 🥴

Looking for flight deals?!?⁠ I know I am!! If yo

Looking for flight deals?!?⁠ I know I am!! If you’re looking for cheap fares to cool destinations (both near and far), here are my favorite websites and apps that will help you find flight deals. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
✈️ Google Flights: I start all of my travel searches on this site. I check out the suggested trips from my home airport first, and then I use the search feature to plug in the destinations and possible dates. Once your dates are loaded, you can then scroll to see other cheap fares and dates on the calendar. You can also set up a travel alert for a destination that you’re interested in. Google will then email you an alert every time the price changes.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
✈️ Going (formerly Scott’s Cheap Flights) : This site provides a daily list of cheap flight deals. However, the best deals are reserved for premium users. I pay the $40 annual fee and receive an email almost every day alerting me of travel deals in and around my home airport.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
✈️ @secretflying : This site provides a list of up-to-the-minute updates on mistake fares and travel deals.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
✈️ @travelpirates : This site is also free and provides a daily list of vacation packages and flight deals.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
✈️ @theflightdeal : This site also provides a daily list of cheap flight deals. You can subscribe to get a free email each day with a list of all the best travel deals. This service is free, and it’s not tailored to your home destination.⁠⁠

This week’s motivational message is as much for

This week’s motivational message is as much for me as it is for you. When I’m feeling discouraged or defeated, I look back on my moments of bravery. This video, of my first ski lesson, was taken earlier this year @sundayriver in Maine. It’s not easy learning something new in your 40s. I was so nervous to try skiing for the first time, but I did it anyway and I’m still beaming with pride about this moment!! 😊

Don’t be afraid! And if you can’t shake the fear…Do it scared!!!!

You do NOT have to quit your job and travel full-t

You do NOT have to quit your job and travel full-time to be successful in the travel space. I run a travel business and I’m home 85.4% of the time. (I just made that stat up 😜 but you get the gist).

While travel is the meat and potatoes of my business…I do the bulk of my work from home. I’m not saying don’t quit your job, if that’s what you want to do. But I am saying there’s more than one way to skin a cat.

Here are two tips on how to chase your wanderlust dreams while keeping your steady income:

1. Maximize Your Vacation Days: Use your PTO (paid time off) strategically. Plan longer trips during holidays or weekends to make the most of your time off. This way, you can explore new destinations without taking extended leaves from your job.

2. Weekend Getaways and Short Trips: Explore nearby destinations during weekends or opt for short trips that require minimal time away from work. You’d be surprised how many amazing cities are just a few hours’ drive or a short flight away.

By combining these strategies, you can satisfy your wanderlust without compromising your steady income.

I check out the suggested trips from my home airport first, and then I use the search feature to plug in the destinations and possible dates. Once your dates are loaded, you can then scroll to see other cheap fares and dates on the calendar. You can also set up a travel alert for a destination that you’re interested in. Google will then email you an alert every time the price changes.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ ✈️ Going (formerly Scott’s Cheap Flights) : This site provides a daily list of cheap flight deals.

This week’s motivational message is as much for

<img src="https://mommawanderlust.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png" alt="This week’s motivational message is as much for me as it is for you. When I’m feeling discouraged or defeated, I look back on my moments of bravery. This video, of my first ski lesson, was taken earlier this year @sundayriver in Maine. It’s not easy learning something new in your 40s. I was so nervous to try skiing for the first time, but I did it anyway and I’m still beaming with pride about this moment!! 😊 Don’t be afraid! And if you can’t shake the fear…Do it scared!!!! • • • • #motivationalmessage">

You do NOT have to quit your job and travel full-t

<img src="https://mommawanderlust.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png" alt="You do NOT have to quit your job and travel full-time to be successful in the travel space. I run a travel business and I’m home 85.4% of the time. (I just made that stat up 😜 but you get the gist). While travel is the meat and potatoes of my business…I do the bulk of my work from home. I’m not saying don’t quit your job, if that’s what you want to do. But I am saying there’s more than one way to skin a cat. Here are two tips on how to chase your wanderlust dreams while keeping your steady income: 1. Maximize Your Vacation Days: Use your PTO (paid time off) strategically. Plan longer trips during holidays or weekends to make the most of your time off. This way, you can explore new destinations without taking extended leaves from your job. 2. Weekend Getaways and Short Trips: Explore nearby destinations during weekends or opt for short trips that require minimal time away from work. You’d be surprised how many amazing cities are just a few hours’ drive or a short flight away. By combining these strategies, you can satisfy your wanderlust without compromising your steady income. • • • • #travelentrepreneur #workhardplayharder #travelers #travelgram #globelletravels #travelwriter #familytravel #shesnotlost #travelbloggger">
