Why we wait for the perfect time to travel, what's holding us back, and how to finally feel confident about going. There's a trip you've been thinking about. Maybe it's hiking through the Italian Dolomites, swimming in Croatia's turquoise waters, or exploring a country you've dreamed of visiting for years. You've looked at the photos, checked the dates, and opened the itinerary more times than you'd like to admit. You can picture yourself there, but somehow, the booking never

Banff Trip! Yes, you can absolutely join a women’s group trip alone. In fact, many of the women who travel with Sunny & Turquoise arrive without knowing anyone else in the group. And I think that surprises people. There is a moment that happens before a lot of women book a trip. You find somewhere you really want to go. You start imagining yourself there. Maybe you look at flights, save a few photos or send the trip to a friend. Then comes the question that has kept more than

The older I get, the less I think luxury is about five-star hotels, fancy champagne, or thread counts. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate a beautiful hotel and a room with a view. 😉 But these days, luxury feels more like: 🧳 Not having to plan every detail yourself ☕ Slow mornings without an alarm 🚶‍♀️ Having time to wander instead of rushing from sight to sight 🍷 Long dinners with good food and even better conversation 🌿 Feeling completely present where you are 🤍 Travelin

A lot more than choosing beautiful places. ✨ Sure, I spend hours researching charming hotels, cozy villas, hidden restaurants, and scenic hiking trails. But what I spend the most time thinking about is how the trip will feel. When I'm planning a retreat, I'm asking myself things like: ☕ Is there time for slow mornings and unrushed coffee? 🥾 Is there enough adventure to spark excitement and confidence? 💛 Will there be space for meaningful conversations and genuine connection

One of the most beautiful parts of travel is realizing the trip was never only about the destination ✨ Sometimes it’s the people you never expected to meet. The conversations that happen over candlelight and wine. The laughter that gets louder as the evening goes on 🍷🤍 Somewhere between shared meals, salty air, sunset dinners, and stories exchanged around the table… strangers slowly start to feel familiar. And that’s the magic of traveling together. Not perfectly planned mo

POV: you finally slowed down 🌿 Morning light spilling across old stone walls. Coffee in your hands. No alarms. No rushing. No one needing anything from you for a little while ☕✨ Just the quiet rhythm of waking up slowly around you 🤍 And somewhere in that stillness, you realize how long it’s been since you truly let yourself pause. Not multitasking. Not planning the next thing. Not checking your phone every few minutes 📵 Just… being here. I think this is one of the reasons

A Love Letter to Mallorca, Spain 🌿🍊 There are some places in the world that are beautiful…and then there are places that feel like they wrap themselves around your heart forever. For me, Mallorca has always been that kind of place. Not just because of the turquoise coves or the dramatic cliffs dropping into the Mediterranean Sea — although yes, they truly are breathtaking — but because Mallorca has a feeling to it. A softness. A rhythm. A way of slowing you down and remindi

Recently during our retreat in San Juan del Sur, we experienced a water therapy session that stayed with me long after it ended 🌊 Floating. Breathing. Letting the water hold us for a little while. Doing absolutely nothing except being present. And somewhere in that stillness, I had this thought: Travel should change how you feel… not just where you go ✨ I think so many of us have been taught to move through travel the same way we move through life: fast. productive. trying t
