The new year is a time for reflection of the events of the past year and to think about what you want to achieve in the coming months. Being a travel company, we asked our staff what their 2019 travel goals are and we are asking for you to share yours with us in the comment section at the bottom of this article.
Lara Macelino, Travel Specialist
“This 2019, I see myself swinging over a tropical jungle in Bali while the sun is setting, wearing a Hanbok while on a quick transit tour of the Gyeongbokgung Palace in South Korea, and last but certainly not least, waking up in paradise and floating in the clear, emerald waters of Magpupungko Beach in Siargao Island, Philippines. All this made better and more fun by having my friends, my family and the love of my life with me.”

“2019, for me, marks the desire to return to Europe to explore further there – with Spain and Greece as likely highlights. I will also make my way to the British Virgin Islands – to revisit a sailing trip that was unfortunately previously canceled after Hurricane Irma devastated the area. Very much looking forward to getting down there and helping their tourism industry while doing something we love!”

“My 2019 travel resolutions include a trip to Costa Rica. I normally visit the South Caribbean side of the country, however my next visit will involve exploring the northern part of the country including Alajuela which is where Rio Celeste is located. I also plan on exploring, relaxing and sun bathing on the beaches of the Pacific side, Nosara and Samara.”

“2019 will be the year I visit New York City for the first time! Would also love to do some photography workshops within my beautiful state of Arizona. Mainly at Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon. Sun-kissed skin from a beach trip to Tulum would be the ultimate goal this year. Crossing my fingers I get to cross it off my international bucket list!”

“I am going to visit Brazil, including stops in Rio de Janeiro, the Amazon, the Pantanal and Foz do Iguaçu, with an extension to Buenos Aires in Argentina. I will be taking small groups of clients leaving from Tucson. My second trip will be to East Africa with safari in Kenya and Tanzania.”
Lacy Hill, Travel Specialist
“Next year we are visiting New Zealand! We hope to sip some delicious wine, hike a few trails with outstanding views, and explore the land of the Kiwis! I would love to take an Alaskan cruise and maybe throw in a piña colada on the beach!

“Next year is the year I will hike the Grand Canyon, rim to rim, & Glacier National Park. I’ll also cross off six more states as I take Amtrak’s Empire Builder from Chicago to Seattle getting to GNP. Internationally, Ireland is the next country on my bucket list. Reunion with my England/Scotland 2017 buddies?!”
