Traveling can be exciting, but the packing and logistics can be a real drag. Who wants to spend their precious vacation time worrying? Vacation is the time to relax and enjoy. Here’s three simple hacks I use to make traveling a breeze:
Ditch the Boring Black Bag
Let's face it, everyone has a black suitcase. It's like a sea of black rolling through the airport, making it a nightmare to spot your own bag. Invest in a vibrant, colorful suitcase that stands out! Not only will it be easier to identify on the baggage carousel, but it will also inject some personality into your travels. Think bright blues, cheerful yellows, or even a fun print. Your luggage will be your personal travel beacon, and you'll never have to worry about it getting lost again. I love my pink and teal luggage because it really stands out.
Pack Smart with Compression Bags
Imagine this: you're finally at your destination, ready to relax, but your suitcase is a jumbled mess of clothes. Sounds like a recipe for stress, right? Enter compression bags - your new best friend for organized packing. These clever little bags allow you to compress clothes and save tons of space in your luggage. Bonus: they also keep your belongings organized and wrinkle-free. Fold your clothes neatly, seal them in the bag, creating a compact package. This hack will not only save space, but it will also make packing and unpacking a breeze.
Stay Hydrated with a Collapsible Water Bottle
Lugging around a bulky water bottle can be a real pain, especially when you're trying to navigate busy airports or explore new cities. The solution? Collapsible water bottles! These lightweight marvels shrink down to a compact size when empty, making them easy to carry in your backpack or purse. They're also eco-friendly and reusable, which means you can say goodbye to single-use plastic bottles and contribute to a greener planet. Stay hydrated and worry-free with a trusty collapsible water bottle by your side.
These three simple hacks can make a world of difference in your travel experience. No more stress about lost luggage, messy bags, or bulky water bottles. I got the two-pack with a pink water bottle for me and a blue one for my son and we love how easy they are to bring along when traveling.
Now you can focus on what matters most: enjoying your adventures and creating unforgettable memories. So, pack smart, stay organized, and get ready to explore!

When I was in elementary school, I was fortunate to go to the Philippines with my grandparents three times. I will never ever forget the experiences and memories I have from those trips. I remember visiting my Papa's village and handing out candy to my relatives. They were overwhelmed with gratitude and so excited to meet us because we were from Hawaii.
Before each of those trips we would go to the travel agency and meet with the travel agent lady who took care of the flight arrangements for us. We gave her all our details and picked our seats and picked up our plane tickets. I remember the second time I went she upgraded us to first class and it was really special for me.
Today with access to the world wide web, we can search the internet for anything. We can google and research and find and book flights and hotels on our own. There are a number of search engines now such as Expedia and Travelocity that advertise deals on travel. I didn’t know until recently that Expedia owns a bunch of the other companies so their prices are very similar.
When it comes to travel the value you get for using a travel agent is incredible. With a travel agent you get your own assistant to research and create your ideal itinerary. You get a custom tailored trip to you and what you want. Travel agents have access to databases and websites that the general public do not have access to.
The best part is it doesn’t cost you any extra at all. Travel agents receive compensation from the vendors when they book. Researching all the details for vacations can be exhausting and time consuming. Using a travel agent saves you a bunch of unnecessary stress and lets you relax and enjoy your vacation and focus on what's more important: making memories with loved ones.
I highly encourage you to use a travel agent to make your life a little less stressful. If you have a trip in mind and would love to get you booked and ready to go. My travel website is https://www.evotravelagent.com/ahealthymermaid and if there’s another agent you resonate with, no worries at all.
