Join us for another session of Travel Tuesdays, where we bring you a new topic to help you avoid FOMO and to be a better traveler 🥳

Hey everyone! This week's topic seems like a good foundation for the rest of the year: How to plan it to get the best out of it. There are 4 key points to this: 1. PTO. Assess the total amount of PTO you have available. This includes things like knowing if the company you work for allows you to take your birthday off. 2. HOLIDAY WEEKENDS. Look for all the national and local holidays within your area, and apply the "sandwich strategy" to count how many extra days you get (for example, in 2025 Christmas day was on a Thursday, so by taking Friday off you make a sandwich of non-working days). 3. PRIOR ENGAGEMENTS. This is birthdays, weddings, and any other event that you HAVE to attend. 4. SPECIAL EVENTS. Make a wish list of all the events around the world that you want to go to. This can be anything from carnival in Brazil to Oktoberfest in Germany. Forget about the budget, the time, or any other variable for now. Just dream big. 5. CALENDAR. Add all the events to your calendar (if you want a travel calendar, you can grab ours here). This gives you a visual map of what your year will look like. Next week we'll talk about the next step into a year full of trips: How to get cheap flights (spoiler alert, you don't have to always spend thousands of dollars to fly around the world). --- 📖 If you like long-form written content, you can read more about this topic in this week's blog post 'How to Plan Your Trips for the Year: A Step-by-Step Guide'. 🎧 If you prefer audio over text, you can listen to this week's podcast episode: 'From Daydreams to Departures: How to Plan Your Trips for the Year'
