    I live just outside of Orlando, FL so I am lucky enough to have theme parks around. Even if you can’t afford the park tickets, Universal has City Walk and Disney has Downtown Disney. Both have great nightlife, shops and restaurants. A friend and I like to go pool hopping at different resorts and hotels. We like to pretend were guests and walk around to see what they have to offer. At the end of the night, we are back in our own beds. I often find my wanderlust subsides for a short time at least.

    Yes, yes, and yes!

    I always say that when I’m traveling, I’m in a “get-stuff-done” mode that isn’t always present when I’m back home in my comfort zone, where all my basic needs are so easily met. When I travel, I have to figure out how to be resourceful – how get myself around, keep my mind and body busy, feed myself, make connections with other people, etc. When I’m home, these things happen by default without much thought.

    I think what most fuels my wanderlust is remembering who I am when I’m traveling and wanting to go back to that state – I’m at my best when I’m wandering about in a new place: alert, present, independent, confident, creative, resourceful, energetic, and open to new people and ideas. With that energy alone I can create an entire day and night of adventures without much planning.

    I try to remind myself to replicate that state of energy back home. I try to remember every once in a while to set out on a “night (or day) of adventure” and replicate a sequence of events I had on a previous trip. So, I’ll take a cab or Uber out instead of my car, I’ll go to a new restaurant for dinner alone, from there I’ll ask the host/hostess if they have any favorite local bars with live music, and from there I just let the adventure take me.

    Traveling for me is much about learning about myself and how the lessons I learn from my adventures can be channeled into my everyday life in order to live with more passion and adventure, even during the most mundane moments!

    • Thank you so much for sharing Deborah! I love the way you expressed this– I couldn’t agree more 🙂

We just returned from a bucket list sailing trip around the British Virgin Islands with @themooringsvacations — and it was an absolute dream come true!

If you aren’t looking for a vacation from the kids but from the cooking, cleaning, and responsibilities of everyday life, this is your sign!

Four moms, four kids, a crewed catamaran with a gourmet chef, a stewardess, and a captain that cook, clean and sail for you during 7 days of adventure, turquoise water, white sanded beaches, and quality time with your friends and little ones—it was heaven!

Check out my story highlight “BVIs ⛵️” for all of the fun from our trip! And stay tuned for an in-depth blog post with tips on sailing with kids + our complete itinerary 🏝️
