Travel can be a way for us to gain some new perspective on our own lives and create some space from any conflict or difficulties we may be struggling with. Sometimes an awe-inspiring landscape can give us the clarity we need. #transformation #transformativetravel #tranformationaltravel #getoutside #greatoutdoors #adventure #aventuretravel #goodmentalhealth #traveling #travelusa #vacationplanning #traveldestination #funfacts #professionaltraveladvisor #traveladvisor #travelpro #travelplanning

When it comes to vacationing in the great outdoors, we think the ‘off-season’ is the best time to sneak in some rest and rejuvenation. When Autumn descends on America’s tens of thousands of lakes, the crowds thin out and lake shores transition into scenes of fiery reds, oranges and yellows. #travelusa #greatoutdoors #lakeside #lakelife #getoutside #adventuretravel #adventure #roadtrip #weekender #vacationplanning #traveldestination #funfacts #professionaltraveladvisor #traveladvisor

Hawaii is without question, one of the most breathtaking places on earth, but travelers who step foot onto the island of Kauai, will feel like they’re stepping into the Garden of Eden. Avoid the crowds of the larger, more commercialized islands and come to experience lush carpeted mountain-scapes, vibrant tropical flowers and a truly authentic Polynesian way of life. #hawaii #gardenisland #polynesia #beach #bestbeaches #adventure #adventuretravel #outdoors #greatoutdoors #travel
a waterfall in the middle of a canyon with blue water flowing from it's sides
The village of Supai is tucked away for a reason, away from unwelcome visitors and only accessible by helicopter, pack animal or on foot. Even the US Mail is delivered by donkey. An Indigenous community dating back almost 2000 years calls this mythical corner of the Grand Canyon home. #visitarizona #arizona #nationalparks #weekendadventure #adventuretravel #adventureseeker #getoutside #outdoors #outdoortravel #greatoutdoors

a lake with mountains in the background and clouds in the sky above it at sunset
Iconic author Henry David Thoreau was likely inspired by serene scenes like this when he wrote his most famous novel “Walden”, more commonly known as “Life in the Woods.” America is bursting with picturesque lakes, whimsical woods, misty mountains and inviting hiking trails. So grab a good book, or load up your kindle, the great outdoors is a great place to bring stories to life. #weekendadventure #adventuretravel #adventureseeker #getoutside #outdoors

If you’re a thrill seeker, head to Big Four Mountain in the Cascades, a mere two hour drive from Seattle, and check out the Big Four Ice Caves. The trail to the caves is only 3 miles long, and with pristine cascading waterfalls along the way, this is an outdoor adventure you won’t want to miss. #washington #cascades #westcoast #travelwestcoast #caves #icecaves
footprints in the sand on a cloudy day
Without cheating, where is the ‘quietest national park’ in the United States? Looking for an outdoor escape where the crowds are thin, the skies are protected by the International Dark Sky Association, and the sands quite literally ‘hum’ a symphony? Grand Sand Dunes National Park is one of America’s most underrated natural attractions. #nationalpark #sanddunesnationalpark #sanddunes #colorado #visitcolorado #getoutside #outdoors #adventuretravel #adventure #greatoutdoors
an aerial view of a boat in the middle of the ocean with clouds above it
Who’s ready to beat the winter blues with these azure views in Naples, Florida? Naples Beach is consistently rated America’s best beach, and for good reason. Powdery sands, palm fringed shores and gentle waves invite the weary traveler to disconnect and unwind. When you start to feel restless, throw on your adventure cap, rent a set of paddle boards, hop on a fishing charter, or head to Marcos Island and snag yourself a ‘Go-Cat’ and go dolphin spotting. #visitflorida #florida #beach
trees with yellow leaves in the middle of a forest filled with lots of tall trees
Why do we love the smell of ‘petrichor’ so much? Petrichor is the smell of rain when it hits the earth, more specifically, it’s the smell of the oils released from plants and trees when water washes over them. Science has found this aroma can help ease anxiety, clear the mind and help us feel more grounded. #outdoors #getoutside #hiking #nature #naturetravel #forest #intothewoods #naturewalks #wildlife #adventure #adventuretravel #travelusa #destinationusa #traveldestination #funfacts

Disconnect the kids from their busy and tech-fueled routines, and reconnect them with family -- inviting your extended family to travel with you is a great way to reconnect. Catch up, share news, get to know each other, and create memories that will last a lifetime. #holidayseasontravel #watercolortravel

You never know who you'll meet or what exciting activities you'll experience with your loved ones when you travel over the holiday season. #holidayseasontravel #stressfreeholidayseason #watercolortravel

This is Father Frost, a traditional Russian handicraft and iconic figure in Russian culture. If you or someone you know collects ornaments, carvings, tree decorations, candelabras or other holiday gems, you'll love decoration shopping while on vacation next holiday season. #watercolortravel #holidaytravel
