Hi Reader,

I’ve been thinking a lot about how strange it can feel to talk about trips and travel plans when the world feels… like it’s on fire.

There’s no pretending it’s not heavy out there. The news is heartbreaking. The weight is real.

And yet ... I’m still over here writing about travel.
Still helping busy parents plan their next trip.
Still sharing flight tips and hotel ideas and dreamy destinations.

Because for so many of us, travel isn’t about running away.
It’s about remembering who we are outside of work, family obligations, and the never-ending to-do list.

It’s our reset button.
It’s how we reconnect, to our loved ones, to the world, and to ourselves.
It’s joy. And God knows we need that too.

So if you’re still dreaming of a spring break trip, still looking at that solo retreat spot, still imagining that big “someday” vacation...I see you.

You’re not shallow. You’re not ignoring the world.
You’re just choosing to believe in beauty, in connection, and in taking care of your own mind and spirit.

And I think that’s brave as hell.
