Intentional Travel Planning: How to Make the Best Decisions

We’ve all asked the question: Is this the right trip—or just the trip everyone says we should take?
About this Event

In this class, we’ll explore how to plan travel more intentionally—aligning your trips with your goals, energy level, budget, and the kind of experience you actually want, not just what looks good on social media.

We’ll break down the key decisions that shape a great trip: destination choice, timing, pace, travel style, and expectations. You’ll learn how to evaluate options more clearly, avoid costly or disappointing mismatches, and recognize when a trip is right for you—and when it isn’t.

This isn’t about finding the “perfect” destination. It’s about making confident, informed decisions so your travel feels meaningful, restorative, and worth the investment.

Whether you’re planning a once-in-a-lifetime journey, deciding between a cruise or land tour, or simply trying to travel smarter, this class will give you a framework you can use for every trip going forward.
