As we step into 2025, we’re gifted a new chapter—a blank canvas with 365 days to create a story that reflects our goals, dreams, and aspirations. For many of us, the new year is a time to refocus on health and wellness, setting intentions to prioritize physical and mental well-being.

In my own journey, I’ve come to appreciate the harmony between travel and wellness. Vacation isn’t just about taking a break; it’s about enhancing our lives through new experiences, personal growth, and meaningful connections. One of my favourite aspects of travel is the opportunity to stay active, enjoy wholesome meals, and engage in stimulating conversations with like-minded individuals.

While our challenges and responsibilities don’t disappear when we travel, they often take a back seat, allowing us to focus on recharging and reducing stress. The mental break that travel provides can be transformative, offering clarity and a fresh perspective. Plus, having something exciting on the horizon—like an upcoming trip—gives us a reason to look forward and stay motivated throughout the year.

This is why I like working with travel companies like AMA Waterways, which understand the deep connection between wellness and exploration. Their river cruises are designed with wellness in mind, offering programs and facilities that cater to the needs of health-conscious travellers. Whether it’s yoga on deck, guided hikes in picturesque destinations, or menus featuring fresh and nutritious cuisine, these experiences are crafted to help us be our best selves while discovering the beauty of the world.


As we step into this new year, let’s embrace the opportunities it brings. Together, we can take meaningful steps toward wellness, find joy in new adventures, and treasure the moments that shape our journeys.

To support this spirit of exploration, I’ve created an exclusive travel community called “It’s Time to Travel.” This group is designed to inspire and connect travellers through a dedicated webpage featuring blogs full of travel inspiration and special offers from some of my favourite travel partners. Additionally, our Facebook group provides a welcoming space to share travel stories, exchange ideas, and ask questions.

If you’d like to be a part of this vibrant community, simply email me with the subject line “Time to Travel,”  or click the link below and I’ll send you the links to access the webpage and join the Facebook group. Let’s make this year one of unforgettable journeys!
