📚 What was Your Favorite Travel Experience or Story?
One overcast afternoon near Friday Harbor, Washington, I stood gripping the shiny stainless steel railing of a boat, watching in awe as we drifted ever closer to a pod of orcas.
Or so it seemed at the time.
In hindsight, the whales were of course perfectly capable of swimming away. Instead, they chose to swim right up to our boat, all around and under, some so close I could feel the mist carried on wooshes of long-held breath as they surfaced.
This experience is all the more treasured as my heart’s original inspiration for every adventure to follow – and that will forever be a memory that takes my breath away.
🗺️ What’s Your #1 Expert Travel Tip?
Prepare for everything, expect nothing. Read all the articles, look at all the options, make all the plans, cover all the bases. Just make sure you leave room – some for error, a whole lot more for discovery.
✨ Would you rather have a lifetime supply of free plane tickets or free accommodations?
Plane tickets! The rest can be figured out, I just want to go. 🙂
