How do you prepare for your trips?

The anticipation leading up to a trip is the most exciting part of the process. I like to do some research about the destination to get a sense of the activities I want to do or places I want to see and even read a novel that is set in the place I am visiting for historical context. In the days leading up to departure, I organize all my information and documents and ensure I have reading materials and digital content downloaded for flights and downtime during my trip.

Which destinations are you looking forward to visiting? Why?

I have never been to Asia, so I am planning a trip to Japan or Thailand in the next year or two. I can’t wait to explore the food and culture, as well as immerse myself in the ceremonial and spiritual elements found there. I would also love to go on a safari to Tanzania or Botswana with my family.

Travel Tip

  • If possible, travel light. I suggest using a carry-on bag; having fewer belongings while moving between hotels simplifies packing and reduces the risk of losing luggage.
