Next up: securing travel insurance. It’s easy to skip, but I feel better when I have it. Why?

Once upon a time, as a newbie traveler, I joined a travel group that catapulted me into a new realm of adventure. I went from having no one to travel with to having more trip invites than I could accept. 

One year, several members were in a tour bus accident. I will never forget how we came together donating flight miles, hotel points and money to fly family members, pay medical bills and even transport bodies home.

That experience shifted my view of travel insurance. I feel better knowing my family has an extra layer of support if something happens.

I’d rather have it and not need it than my family need it and not have it.

Ohmygosh yall. So my family threw a surprise party to celebrate with me before my trip. 🥹 

Look at this beautiful cake! They nailed the theme.

Countdown to flight day: 6!! 🦍

Love, serve, and be joyful, for life is already an incredibly brief moment.

Sounds so good! What a lovely surprise from your family! The memories will make your trip that much sweeter!

I was so surprised! 😊 The cake was classic - vanilla with buttercream frosting.
