Growing up I never thought I would be a “Travel Guinea Pig”, but because I have experienced the positive power of travel first hand, I am perfectly suited for the job.  The reality is; travel is GOOD for you.

On so many levels, the healing power of travel outweighs the stresses of travel logistics. Corny as it may sound, the mind is a fascinating and relatively mysterious frontier.  With no scientific fact to prove it, I believe the mind and our soul are connected and that travel is good for both. Bringing my message to the forefront has been difficult lately, but together we can spread the word and get people traveling for their own good!

Every day there is another negative news story either directly or indirectly related to travel. The message is always the same; “We’re not saying NOT to travel…we’re just saying this is what you’ll be faced with if you do…” Translation: DON’T BOTHER! Well I say HOGWASH! Okay, gas prices are high, airlines are struggling because gas prices are high, the housing market is shaky at best…heck, even the cost of milk is creeping up there.  That being said, plan smart, shop around, do your homework, but execute a plan to travel more in the next 12 months, and you'll benefit in ways you might not realize.

I hope you will join me in my mission to get out there and explore. Inspire your friends and family members by retelling stories from your past vacation experiences, and make a plan with them for your next adventure.  Do it for your family, do it for your relationship, do it to recharge your batteries, do it to see more of this great world, do it to increase proficiency at work, do it for your own gratification, just do it, get out there and travel!
