HAPPY, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!
WANDERLUST (n.) a strong desire for or impulse to wander or travel and explore the world.
The New Year allows us all to REFRESH, and some of you may already feel the pressures of balancing your work and personal life after the Holiday Break.
What’s your New Year, New You INTENTION? For many it’s about Weight Loss, Healthier Choices, Overall Wellness (Mind-Body-Spirit) ~ Building Resilience & Finishing Goals.
For me personally, I LOVE Goals – more importantly, understanding the strategies that allow you to achieve your goals. What are the mental roadblocks that may contribute to sticking to your commitment(s)?
Inspirations that will inspire you to travel more?? I LOVE immersive experiences that provide guidance to strengthen resilience, help launch goals, develop healthy habits, reconnect with family, friends, nature, and more.
Some of the INSPIRATIONAL TRAVEL QUOTES that ignites my heart & soul …
“Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.” ~ Dalai Lama
“Don’t tell me how educated you are, tell me how much you have travelled.” ~ Mohammed
“Bizarre travel plans are dancing lessons from God.” ~ Kurt Vonnegut

“We travel to escape life, but for life not to escape us.” ~ Anonymous
“Travel is about the gorgeous feeling of teetering in the unknown.” ~ Anthony Bourdain
“The best things in life are the people we love, the places we’ve been, and the memories we’ve made along the way. To travel & to love is to be happy. ~ Anonymous

BEHIND THE SCENES WITH TRAVEL CONCEPTS
MEET ANNIKA LININ
There are numerous details that need to be managed with every Celebra-ation™, and we could not be more thrilled to have our ROCKSTAR ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT on our TEAM!
Hello! Happy to have this opportunity to meet you all! Working with the team at Travel Concepts KC allows me to utilize my skill set of organization, communication, and problem solving. My goal is to help make every Celebra-cation™ the best it can be! I am a college freshman and working towards a degree in Elementary Education. Aside from work and school, I love to sing, spend time with friends, and watch movies. In my spare time, you will most likely find me snuggled up on the couch with a nice warm cup of coffee.

SHOUT OUT’S FROM OUR AMAZING CUSTOMERS ~
We loved working with Ashley and Denise from Travel Concepts for our honeymoon! We got married in October 2020, but knew traveling wouldn’t be a great opinion until summer 2021. We just got back from our honeymoon in Cancun and couldn’t have been happier! I called Ashley in February 2021 with concerns about traveling and shared my worries with her; she listened and answered all of my questions…again 🙂 When we arrived in Cancun this past June, everything was in order and exceeded our expectations! If you’re looking for a travel agent, Ashley and Denise will take WONDERFUL care of you! ~ Kara
We booked our spring break trip with our high school senior with Travel Concepts and everything was wonderful. In a crazy Covid year, it was so nice to vacation worry-free. Denise made sure all arrangements were made and left nothing to chance. We loved the Moon Palace in Cancun and can’t wait to return! ~Christina
