It’s so easy to choose a vacation destination just because you saw some pretty photos. Or your coworker highly recommended it. Or your favorite travel podcaster won’t stop raving about (oh hey it’s me + Scotland).

But sometimes this approach to choosing a destination results in trips that are fine… pleasant… but not truly unforgettable. Here at Wild Hair Travels, I don’t want that for you.

On this episode, I’m sharing a simple, practical test to help you figure out whether a destination is truly the right fit for you. Using this approach can help you avoid trips that feel just “okay” and guide you toward destinations that genuinely excite you and leave you with amazing memories.

Episode 234: 6 Fall Destination Ideas

You’ve finally landed after a long flight — exhausted, running on little sleep, and feeling the weight of jet lag. And yet, there’s that familiar pressure to power through and make the most of your first day.

I’ve certainly been known to “power through” the exhaustion on a trip, and I’ve even been known to tell my clients to do just that.

But in this episode, I’m sharing a different perspective — one that gives you permission to honor your exhaustion, pay attention to your energy, and approach your trip in a way that actually makes the rest of it more enjoyable.

Episode 258: From Must-See to Meh: My Latest Thoughts on Sightseeing

For many of us, the idea of arriving at the airport without any plans in place feels uncomfortable — and that often comes with a strong urge to plan nearly every detail of a trip ahead of time. But why do we feel this way? What drives us to spend so much time organizing and preparing for a vacation?

In this episode, we explore how your personality — including your Enneagram type — influences the way you plan. I’ll break down some of the key reasons we plan and the fears that arise when certain pieces of our travel experience are left unresolved.

By the end of this conversation, my goal is to give you greater clarity about your planning tendencies so you can embrace them fully and continue creating trips that feel effortless, enjoyable, and truly aligned with your travel style.
