They say that once a year, you should go somewhere They say that once a year, you should go somewhere you’ve never been before. In 2022 I went to a lot of new places (literally and figuratively!) but one of my favorites was Copenhagen!

Now, you might not think a city escape like Copenhagen is somewhere you would need to use a travel agent for, but truth be told, even for your city breaks, partnering with your favorite advisor is worth it!

Why?👇🏼👇🏼

✨exclusive perks and amenities at our partner hotels that are ONLY available when you book through an advisor - these are things like room upgrades, hotel credits, free breakfast and more!
🍷 we’ve been here, and we’ve tested all the bars and restaurants (what a horrible job!) and we can tell you where you have to go, and where you can maybe skip
✈️ authentic experiences with local guides.  Whatever you can dream up, along with the things you can’t, I strive to pair you with excursions and activities that will get you to the heart of the history and culture in a destination.

If you’ve made it this far, congrats!  Your free Copenhagen knowledge is that my favorite restaurant here is Jordnaer! If you went to know more about Copenhagen you can find it on my blog www.bohotravel.org #TheBohoDoesCopenhagen #TheBohoDoesDenmark #RuggedLuxury #ReinventTravel
One year ago today! What you don’t see are the n One year ago today! What you don’t see are the northern lights over head 🥲

One thing I really pride myself on is being able to provide my clients with authentic experiences. I want to meet you at the corner of authenticity and rustic luxury.

I want you to be able to explore to your hearts content, and never have to worry where your head is going to hit the pillow at night.✨

If you’re truly looking for an authentic trip of a lifetime, no matter where it’s to, please please reach out to me. I am truly so passionate about this sometimes I wanna cry a lil 😅 #TheBohoDoesSweden
Lisbon has no shortage of cute corners and quaint Lisbon has no shortage of cute corners and quaint squares, but St Jerome’s Monastery blew me away. Like something out of a fairy tale, this cloister is a must-see spot in Lisbon!
While you’re there, be sure to pop just down the street to the world renown Pasteis de Belem for the most delightful pastries! #TheBohoDoesPortugal

It’s me, hi 👋🏼 I’m the problem it’s me It’s me, hi 👋🏼 I’m the problem it’s me 👋🏼

And the problem is…an addiction to travel!  There’s been a lot of coming and going around here lately so I wanted to do a quick intro into who I am and what you guys can expect here (and if you don’t like it- don’t let the screen door hit ya where the universe split ya😉)

Here goes 🥂

I’m Sydney!

I stepped on board my first plane in 2015 in a once in a lifetime trip to spend the summer in Italy. A year later, I went back, only planning to stay three months (I ended up staying a year)

During that time I started this teeny tiny little travel blog called The Boho Traveller. You see, I’ve always loved bohéme ideals, and my ancestors are from Bohemia, fitting like a brand new pair of leather boots ready to be worn in.

I started the blog because everyone i knew back at home kept asking me how I managed to move to Italy!  The answer was quite simple: not easily 😂

While I lived in Italy I worked in the office for a student travel company in social media and marketing. I also worked part time as a tour guide. 😁

Safe to say, I caught the travel bug hard. I moved back to Florida, where I am from, and continued to travel every chance I got. Morocco, Iceland, Ecuador, Peru, Mexico, Alaska, Canada, the UK…and the list goes on.

The blog and my instagram account grew, and I had this feeling I could do something more!

That’s when I joined the team @explorateurtravel - several people sent me a post that @jennifermjacob was hiring and it seemed like the perfect fit at the perfect time.

When Covid hit I took to yachting as the times were tough, but if you follow my newsletter, you know that after 3 summer season, I’ve retired from a life at sea 🌊

Last year I only brought on new clients for half the year and brought home more money than I was earning in yachting. It was a sign it was time to leave.

I went on over 20 trips, booked over 60 client trips, and won an award. In attended two industry trade shows and went on four FAM trips!

There is so much more to the story, but instagram caps my character count…but you can expect more travel, more adventure, and more luxury coming your way soon! #TheBohoTraveller #RuggedLuxury
Who’s ready to go to Greece this summer? 🇬🇷
I know I am !✨
There’s three things you should know about Greece in the summer
1. Yes, it’s just like the video makes it out to be
2. It’s even better
3. You’ll have the best Greek salad of your life on this trip.

And on top of all that, it’s one of the sunniest places in the world, and also one of the windiest… so be sure to pack your Sunnies and hair clips! #TheBohoDoesGreece

One of my New Year’s resolutions is to post to the blog more regularly!  I’m trying to get approved for media one this year (IYKYK) and that means more consistent posting!

Last year I did pretty well (better than any other year!) but I was still working 2 full time jobs and hadn’t fully committed to the social nomad computer only work from wherever lifestyle.

Well… this year I’m giving it all I got!  and today there is a brand new blog post up there just for you! It’s been a long time coming, finally I can present my Scotland Travel Guide 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Head over to the link in my bio or stories and read on about this amazing wee country (and support your resident travel blogger!) #thebohodoesscotland

In this Scotland travel guide I’ll talk basics, logistics, things to do, and give a few sample itineraries!
What to expect as a subscriber! What to expect as a subscriber!
The number one question I get asked is probably “what is your favorite place you’ve ever travelled to?” And honestly, I don’t have kids, but I imagine it’s like trying to pick your favorite child. Nearly impossible.

There are a few destinations I keep gravitating back to - Italy, Scotland, Greece, Morocco to name a few, but there are some places I truly loved I may never return to - Peru or Hungary for example.
 
So for now, I don’t have a lock tight answer. Maybe once I’ve been everywhere. But not yet. For now, I’ll refrain from picking!

How do you respond to this question?

Who else is bringing this energy into 2023? ✨ th Who else is bringing this energy into 2023? ✨ that wild energy that is still grounded? Yeah. That’s what I’m searching for 🧡 #thebohodoesscotland
Hello 2023 ✨ and just like that another year has Hello 2023 ✨ and just like that another year has passed us by. A year full of laughs and tears, love and loss, new beginnings and needed endings.

Here’s to another year of much the same, and also much more 🥂

What’s on your travel bucketlist for this year? I’ll start!

1. Skiing in Vermont
2. Costa Rica
