Travel Makes a Difference

Travel is a wonderful way to spend your TIME.


We are each given a finite amount of time, and how you choose to spend your time matters.

There is a great quote by William Penn that states, “Time is what we want most, but what we use worst”. This is especially true today, when people are so busy working, multitasking, and spending so much time on tech and streaming devices.


Research has shown that travel can be a healthy and transformative way to spend your time. Luckily, so many people have Travel already on their to-do list. Some want to check items off their bucket list, some are looking to relax/recharge/reconnect, while others want to celebrate life’s milestones with the ones they love. There are so many fulfilling ways to spend your TIME.

We know there is too much to see in this world than we have time for, so it’s important to narrow the list to include what matters most to you. At Burr Travel, we love helping people discover how to make the most of their precious vacation time.


Here are some great suggestions based on recent client travels:


  • Take the kids and grandkids to Europe to experience your family's ancestry

  • Get married in Tuscany and honeymoon in Sardinia

  • Hike a volcano in Costa Rica

  • Experience a total solar eclipse from the deck of a cruise ship

  • Step on the 7th continent, Antarctica, and experience a true bucket list expedition

  • Watch grizzly bears catch salmon in Alaska

  • Swim with sea turtles in Maui

  • Spend a week watching your son teach your grandson how to fish

  • Eat your way through Tokyo Ramen Street in Japan

  • Take an African Safari with your loved ones and experience a truly amazing destination together

When thinking about your next adventure, it is important to think about what kind of traveler you are. Some travelers enjoy touring where they can watch the locals and see the top “must-see” attractions, while other travelers enjoy a more immersive experience where they can interact with the locals and take a cooking class or a swim at the local watering hole. It is always important to include some free time for spontaneity and exploration – many times, those are the most memorable moments.


I recently attended a national travel conference in Las Vegas with some of my Agents. The theme was “Travel makes a Difference,” and we were shown several client testimonials as well as their personal trip videos. It was amazing to see how travel made them FEEL. The look of wonder and joy on their faces as they experienced something beautiful and new was incredible. It made me remember how powerful travel can be - it can give life experiences that are transformative, and it can bring loved ones closer together through shared experience.


Some of life’s most lasting memories are made during vacations. But travel can also be something many people put off – I’ll go when I have the time, or I’ll travel when I

retire.


Well, this is a friendly reminder to go sooner rather than later and spend your TIME wisely.
