## Resource

I’m starting this episode with a hot take. I recently shared a post on Instagram with 3 hot takes , including one about Disney, and people had thoughts . It got me thinking about why travel feels joyful for some and exhausting for others. Here’s the core idea: Not all vacations are meant to give us the same thing. Some trips are about amusement , fast-paced, full, distracting. Some trips are about a muse , slower, quieter, and inspiring. Neither is wrong, but different seasons of life can call for different kinds of travel. In this episode, we talk about: * The simple framework our family uses to plan trips without burning out: WHY → WHO → WHEN → WHERE → HOW → WHAT * We start with WHY , because when the intention is clear, everything else gets easier. * I walk through how this framework shapes our travel decisions, from family trips across Europe to a largely decision-free February cruise booked by my very thoughtful past self. * We pack light, in carry-on bags only! These duffel bag backpacks are our favorite, and they set us up with code TIDYDAD to share for a 15% off discount. Tidy Takeaway: If travel planning feels overwhelming, it’s usually not the destination, it’s the missing intention. Start with the WHY , and the rest gets lighter.
