Oftentimes we see that budget flight and we immedi Oftentimes we see that budget flight and we immediately book it because WOW! Only THAT much to go THERE!!?? Let's go! ✈️ ✨{SAVE THIS POST FOR LATER IF YOU WANT TO REMEMBER THESE FLIGHT BOOKING TIPS}✨ But sometimes the mental toll of these budget flights isn't worth it.🤬 ❌First, budget airlines are always the first to have problems...let's look at the massive EasyJet debacle that just went down in the UK, with hundreds of canceled flights every day.❌ On top of cancellations budget airlines often have weird flight times, uncomfortable seats, strange routes, and poor customer service. They might also be in the far terminal or a satellite terminal that will take you ages to get to the main one in case of a layover.😵‍💫 But I am all for saving money where you can! 💰 You just have to understand that going with a budget airline, isn't always the way to go! (I will admit, it sometimes is). Here are 5 of my favorite tips when selecting your flights and make flying work for you! 🌻 1. Be flexible - I don’t mean only travel on Tuesdays or thursdays, but be truly flexible. Time of year, holidays and many other factors play a huge part in the pricing of flights if you are looking to be economical. 2. Book direct! And I don’t mean directly on an airline website, though this is better than third party bookings but not as good as a travel advisor. I mean take the DIRECT FLIGHT. If there is. $300 flight that is going to have 3 layovers and take 18 hours or a $700 flight that is direct - 11/10 times you should pay the extra for the direct. 3. If you can upgrade to business it’s definitely worth it. It’s not just for the extra legroom either- if you do have a layover, business class tickets generally get lounge access meaning free food, showers, and alcohol while you wait for your next place in a quiet and comfy place! 4. While waking up at 4 am sucks, am early morning flight means that if there are delays or cancellations you have wiggle room. 5. Do you! #TheBohoTraveller #BohoTravel #ExplorateurTravel #ReinventTravel . . . . . . . #luxurytravel #luxurytraveldesigner #traveldesign #folktravel #passionpassport #traveltheworld #wanderfolk
Empire State of Mind 🗽last week was a whirlwind Empire State of Mind 🗽last week was a whirlwind and I somehow managed to accomplish everything on my list without too many snags😝 When in travel things can always go wrong! Last week I had a delayed flight a transfer door that wouldn’t close and I missed part of my hair and makeup appointment😱 I also missed Hamilton on our first night due to traffic and delayed passport appointments (don’t worry- we made it on Tuesday night!) Thankfully though; my travel insurance will cover most of the cost of losses and I don’t have to stress too much! I think the single most important thing with travel is protecting yourself and knowing you have someone in your corner, which is why I always recommend using a travel advisor (obviously) and purchasing cancel for any reason travel insurance 🌻 #TheBohoDoesNewYork #Explorateurtravel #reinventtravel

5 Tips for Visiting Mykonos! ✨SAVE THIS POST FOR 5 Tips for Visiting Mykonos! ✨SAVE THIS POST FOR LATER, YOU KNOW YOU'RE GONNA NEED IT!✨ 1. Taxis in Mykonos are nearly impossible to come by! Schedule transfers with your hotel concierge ahead of time. In the peak of summer give yourself at least 1 hour for your transfer to arrive. It's best to schedule dinner transfers in the morning before you start your day. 2. Not all beach clubs are the same! Some are more for the views, others for the food, some for the drinks, and a few for the clout. Do your research, and know how much you want to spend, and what you want to go for! 3. It is WINDY! Be prepared for the wind to nearly sweep you off your feet and pack a few extra hairties for those pesky curls that don't want to stay put. 4. If you are traveling to Mykonos from Athens, it is better to fly than to take the ferry... The ferries in Greece are plentiful, but in the peak of summer can be very hectic. The flight from Athens to Mykonos is only 30-45 minutes, whereas the ferry is several hours long. 5. While many go for the club scene, take some time out of your day to walk around and explore the cutest town of Little Venice, with perfectly white streets and adorable boutiques everywhere. What are your favorite things about Mykonos!

I have clients in Ireland AND Scotland right now, I have clients in Ireland AND Scotland right now, and I am honestly on top of the world 🌍 ☀️ It's always been my dream to travel the world, and when I started this Instagram account back in 2016, my only goal was to help others follow in my footsteps, travel the world, and move to Italy. I started blogging about expat life, Florence and my travels. It evolved and morphed, and there was horrible photo editing, and lots of weird phases, and I watched stories come into play, and carousel posts, and IGTV, and saw the rise and decline of the influencer and the takeover of TikTok. I stuck with it, my only goal to inspire, and give at least an once of my knowledge to help people travel, and somehow figure out how to make a living doing that. Flash forward 6 years, and I am doing exactly that. Helping people travel the world by planning their dream trips. The path was not straightforward. It was winding, hilly, and unpaved - but man, am I glad I walked it. Cheers to the next 7 days as I will have more clients travelling at once (on big multi-leg Euro trips) than I ever have before and I couldn't be more ecstatic about it! Check out where everyone is traveling this week below 👇 🇵🇷 Birthday Group Trip to Puerto Rico 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Honeymoon to Scotland 🇮🇪 Family Trip to Ireland 🇮🇹 Birthday Trip to Italy 🇵🇹 Birthday Trip to Portugal 🇬🇷 Girl's Trip to Greece #TheBohoDoesScotland #ReinventTravel #FolkTravel #Wanderfolk #Slowtravel #FolkLiving #ExplorateurTravel #WeAreTravelGirls #Wanderluxe #TravelDesigner #BohoTravel #RuggedLuxury #RusticChic #Outlander #Scotland #VisitScotland
✨Wrapping up my final bookings this week! I’m ✨Wrapping up my final bookings this week! I’m not bringing on any new clients until summer is over because…well, I need a break from planning and to service my clients who will be traveling this summer 🌞 I’ll be bringing on new clients again come September, but if you need assistance before then, reach out to anyone on the @explorateurtravel team and they will be ready to assist! #ExploreMore #ExplorateurTravel #ReinventTravel #TheBohoDoesMorocco #TravelWithTique
I plan a lot of Greece. Mostly honeymoons, some gi I plan a lot of Greece. Mostly honeymoons, some girls trips, and of course the anniversary and birthday trip. But I have a confession: while I have been amazing at planning Greece trips for clients- I never “got” the reason why people wanted to go to the Greek islands. Now, hear me out. Santorini used to be my number one bucket list destination. But I realized, about mid pandemic, my travel style changed. I don’t like crowds- never have. I also, personally, don’t like to travel to places everyone and their brother have been to. I am a truly off the beaten path, figure it out as you go and explore the path less trodden type of traveller. So for me…why would I go to Santorini?! But after visiting this island for a second time, experiencing the truly luxury sides of both Mykonos and Santorini- I have to say, I get “it”. Even if it’s not for me. There’s a lot to offer for those who want the Santorini or Mykonos experience. Maybe I’m over travelled, or possibly undertravelled. But this is why you should use an advisor. We know what your style of travel equates to in real life. We know if you’re a foodie you should be going to Naxos- if you love beaches Milos is it, if you want to learn about history… 😉 If you’re a path less trodden kind of person, Santorini probably is not for you- but I promise you there is a Greek island that is. In the end, all im saying is don’t go to Santorini because you like this photo. Go to Santorini because you want to see dramatic cliffs dotted with perfectly white towns. Travel to Athens for the history. Or visit skopelos because of mama mia- whatever it is that floats your boat. But don’t travel anywhere just because you saw it on the gram. Travel for the experience, for the memories, for the food, for the culture, and for yourself. And while I preach this double edged sword, I realize I wouldn’t have my business without Instagram. So thanks for following me, for calling me out when I’m not posting something real, for watching my cringe reels, and for travelling the world with me, and for allowing me to help you travel the world also. Yammas! Xx Squid 🦑 #TheBohoDoesGreece #Santorini #ReinventTravel #ExplorateurTravel
Myth: Santorini only has Oia and instagram spots t Myth: Santorini only has Oia and instagram spots to offer Fact: if you go to Santorini and don’t get on a boat, you didn’t go to Santorini Are the two related? Maybe…maybe not- but I promise you that you’ll enjoy a day of rose and sunshine on your private boat tour 🌞 want to know how to get this experience?

There are so many stunning properties in Mykonos i There are so many stunning properties in Mykonos it’s a bit overwhelming. From picture perfect sea blue waters to sexy dipping pools overlooking the caldera, the bohemian vibe of Mykonos is one that exudes luxury. Not all resorts are the same though, and using a travel advisor (oh, hi! 👋🏼) who knows the ins and outs and YOUR specific style is 100% worth it. My volume of clients is so high right now, I’m not bringing on anyone new until September, but if you are looking to book for next year, please reach out! #TheBohoDoesGreece #ExplorateurTravel #ReinventTravel #Seez #greecetravem #mykonos
