It’s not too late to plan your ghouls trip!

Ghostly mischief, international bites, and a few glasses of wine… 👻

It was an unforgettable day!

✈️ Travel isn’t just my job, it’s my classroom.

Today I had the chance to join a Lunch & Learn with two of our fantastic BDMs, Keli and Rebecca, who hit the road together to showcase Virgin Voyages and the Globus Family of Brands.

The session was packed with insights, great food, and connections with other local travel advisors. I was so busy taking notes, chatting, and enjoying lunch that I forgot to take event photos, so brochures will have to do 😉.

Having cruised with Virgin Voyages before, I can tell you it is truly a boutique, adults-only experience that foodie travelers especially love.

In less than a month, I will be meeting up with Keli and Globus in Italy 🇮🇹 to bring back firsthand intel on their guided tours.

🌍 Now I want to hear from you: what is on your travel wish list for 2025/2026?

Check those passports people!
Don’t let the shortened validity of your passport ruin your travel plans!

Don’t let this common mistake ruin your vacation! Many countries require your passport to be valid for at least SIX MONTHS beyond your travel dates.
Always check the passport validity requirements for your destination at travel.state.gov/destination to avoid getting turned around at the airport.
