091. Don’t Sacrifice Your PTO, Domestic Alternatives to Classic Destinations | Henley Vazquez, FORA

 Are you craving an overseas adventure or a little wellness escape, but maybe you're feeling a little uneasy about the world, your PTO or even your finances?  

This week, we share an excerpt from one of our top episodes of all time with Henley Vazquez - CEO of FORA - where we dive into the travel alternatives to classic destinations that are a little closer to home.

In this data-driven, yet heartfelt, conversation, Henley shares how all travel is real travel, whether it’s a staycation or an international journey. She also shares the hottest destinations, and a few domestic alternatives.

What We Talk About:

  •  How to create the perfect wellness escape, no matter where you're traveling.
  • How to confidently choose your domestic destinations in the US that give you a sense of awe and wonder, without needing to hop on a long flight.
  • And why all travel is real travel, whether it's a one night staycation or a week long escape.
