The ability to embrace uncertainty leads to ultimate freedom.
~ Author Unknown
The Covid-19 Virus has caused many of us to put our trip planning on hold. This was an especially hard time for me not only because I’m a travel agent, but also because I LOVE TO TRAVEL! I think about everything going on within our world, all the plans that I made not just for traveling, but for my other goals for my family and life as well. They were all halted in an instant it seemed.
I am not able to travel ANYWHERE…. what am I supposed to do??
Then the BOSS LADY in me set in
It took me all of about a day to get over my self-pity and think of all the good things in my life. I still have my health. My family and my doggies are still in good health. So why should I complain? That is just not who I am. I believe in seeing the bright side of things no matter what. Why? Because things could ALWAYS be worse.
Find the FREEDOM that embodies your soul when you are willing to embrace the uncertainty
FIVE TIPS FOR TRIP PLANNING WHEN THINGS ARE UNCERTAIN
Here are FIVE tips I want you to go by when planning travel, when you just do not know when you will be able to travel again:
ONE: There are NO LIMITATIONS! Your trip planning CAN embrace your ultimate goals and dreams for traveling! This is the time to research and put on paper the places you have always wanted to visit or activities you have always wanted to do. It is OK if you want to make plans for solo trips or if you choose to dream up amazing vacations with your family and friends. You can even make a vision board! NO LIMITATIONS!
TWO: Take your time, and embrace the experience of planning. This is the time to go into detail of researching those remote islands off the coast of that one remote country, that no one ever knows the name of. Because now YOU WILL!
During the time when you are not travelling, you have the time to research! So that when you are able to travel you will be the next person to capture those pictures and memories!
THREE :Give yourself time! If you can book a trip or find a travel agent, like myself. that can book a trip 6 months or so out to give you time…DO IT! Planning trips further out gives you time to prepare and save money.
FOUR: Cover yourself! I personally believe travel insurance is a MUST!! I offer travel insurance to all of my clients and I utilize travel insurance as well whenever I travel. For example, my current clients for a July international trip to Canada have been offered a travel insurance plan that includes a “cancel for any reason” option.
If you have any questions or need travel insurance, regardless if I planned your trip, please reach out to me and I will be happy to send you a quote at no charge!
FIVE: It is OK to start small with your trip planning – even though you are also dreaming big!If you dreamed up a 1-month long vacation in the first tip above, but you know you don’t have 1 month to take off of work…THEN START SMALL! There is nothing wrong with planning a 6 night trip to 1 country on your list of 50 🙂
I want you all to be free in your dreams of travel and embrace the LIMITLESS possibilities you have. There is no trip too small or too big. If it is your dream then it is up to you to make it happen.

Tre’
My name is Chantre’ (Tre’ for short). I am a military brat and soon to be a military wife. I have two fur babies; a Rottweiler named Duke and a German Shepperd named Aurora. I am a travel agent that specializes in EVERYTHING!…mostly fun quick trips or international trip for me personally, but I love researching for every client as if I am traveling with them.
Traveling is where my passion lies. Being in school my whole life, I am at the point where I am now settled and ready to begin my journey to explore the WORLD as much as possible. I have a yearning to see new things and cities, and experience other beliefs and cultures. As a young woman, it can be difficult to find other women that are in the same mindset as I am, and who are ready to take this journey with me in this season of my life…this is why I started my @tres_travelexperiences business and blog. I want to be able to share my experiences with others who share my passion for travel, but are being held back. Experience traveling through my journey.
I am passionate about being able to connect with other women no matter age or background, that are seeking travel experiences as I am, and just need someone to travel with like me. Prior to meeting my love, I was fully prepared and had literally booked a 15 days trip to Europe…SOLO. The amount of courage it took, I cannot even describe but I am thankful to God that He settled my mind, heart, and soul to take the leap. I know every woman may not want to do the same, so I am more than happy to plan a trip for others, whether big or small, solo or group.
If you have an urge to travel, but no one to travel with …come join me on one of my upcoming trips!
