Be Flexible & Open Minded

Sometimes the best things that happen on a trip are the ones that you couldn't have planned in advance.

Embrace the Unexpected

While planning a trip is essential, it's crucial to remember that travel is inherently unpredictable. Flights may get delayed, weather conditions might change, or unforeseen events may alter the itinerary.


Embracing flexibility allows us to adapt to these changes with grace, transforming potential setbacks into new adventures. By embracing the unexpected, we remain open to possibilities that we might have otherwise missed.

Discovering the hidden gems

The most memorable travel experiences often occur off the beaten path. Embracing flexibility enables us to explore beyond popular tourist destinations and venture into lesser-known areas.

It's in these hidden gems that we often find the most authentic and enriching encounters. By being open to new possibilities, we unlock a world of discoveries that can leave a lasting impact on a trip.

Build Resilience

Travel can present challenges and hurdles which is the perfect environment for resilience to grow in the face of adversity.

When things don't go as planned, our ability to adapt allows us to keep moving forward with a positive attitude. These qualities empower us to overcome obstacles, turning difficulties into valuable learning experiences.

Stop at the Overlooks

Taking time to stop at overlooks on road trips and enjoy the sights is an essential and rewarding part of the journey.

These scenic viewpoints offer breathtaking views of nature's beauty, be it majestic mountains, rolling hills, vast canyons, or sparkling lakes. Pausing to appreciate these magnificent panoramas allows you to take in the awe-inspiring wonders of the world.


I love the tranquility and sense of wonder that washes over me while gazing at a beautiful landscape. It's a chance to step away from the hustle of the road and be present in the present and be immersed  ourselves in the grandeur of the outdoors.


When my brother and I were traveling through Iceland, stopping to explore a view or take a random hike that we didn't even realize was an option until we stumbled across it was always worth it.

No matter how much research you do before your trip, if you've never been to that location before, there will always be little surprises to take advantage of throughout the trip.

Remember to slow down, stop at overlooks, and let the sights unfold before you in all their glory.

Outcome is better than your original plan!

As we set out on our travel adventures, be prepared for the change in plans to actually be much better than your original plan!

By letting go of rigid plans and preconceived notions, we open ourselves to the beauty of the unknown. Embrace the journey, savor every moment of discovery and growth that travel has to offer.

Instead of stressing over every little detail, enjoy the moments. It will all work out in the end.

For example, crossing one lane bridges is usually unexpected, but at the same time, it's an adventure which makes for good memories.

So, as you embark on your next adventure, remember to stay flexible, keep an open mind, and embrace the beauty of the unexpected.

Happy travels!
