I rely on a handful of sites to plan my trips! 

– For finding popular hotels in the area, I use Bookings.com. 

– For flights, I use Google Flights and Hopper. 

– For restaurants, I search the town/place on Instagram and look up tags from others. 

– For activities and things to do, I use Viator!

Yes! Travelers burnout is real! Prioritizing your mental health is very important, so whenever I do find myself starting to feel burnout, I will either dial back on my traveling or try to go on a wellness vacation. Usually on these types of trips, I will find a beach town or someplace near water, where I can easily just relax. 

Fortunately, I am able to work remote, so it helps with my ability to travel more frequently. I can pick a location and work in that area for that week without taking time off. However, when planning destination trips, I do try to plan them on the tail or front end of the weekend in order to use less PTO. For example, for a 4 day trip, I will take off either the Thursday and Friday or Monday and Tuesday. That way I only use 2 days PTO, but still can get away for a short amount of time.
