Summary
REPLAY! Good travel advice does not have an expiration date, and neither does this episode. Most people plan a summer vacation and come home needing another one. Sari Marissa, custom travel itinerary designer and wellness retreats enthusiast, joins host Amy Sherman on Wellness Junkies to talk about how to actually travel in a way that restores you instead of wiping you out.

Sari has built her entire business around steering people away from the tourist default and toward experiences that feel personal and genuinely restorative. Her travel tips cover everything from last-minute long weekends to bucket list birthday trips, and the through line is always the same.

She makes a strong case for the Azores as Europe's answer to Hawaii, explains why the Catskills are more interesting than people give them credit for, and breaks down why wellness retreats in Iceland, Scandinavia, and Costa Rica belong on your radar if real rest is the goal. Her wellness hacks are practical and specific. She is not talking about generic spa weekends. She is talking about places where the environment itself does the work.

This is the travel episode for women who want their next trip to feel like a real reset. Share this one with whoever you are already texting abo…
