Give the Gift of Travel and a Lifetime of Memories
Our wish for you this Christmas is that you will invest in experiences and travel more in 2024. As travel gurus, we are confident that we can curate an itinerary, filled with experiences, you can talk about for years to come. It is great to set travel goals and dream about travel, but seeing them to fruition provides far greater value.
Often times, we hear people say, “I don’t remember what I got for Christmas or who gave me what.” But, the Gift of Travel is sure to be remembered for years to come. They will remember the experiences you gifted them, and they may even seek to invest in more travel of their own. No matter what country you visit, even if the language spoken is not yours, the topics of travel, food and culture will be the common language. Did you know? Food brings cultures together, allowing people to celebrate their similarities and differences, #foodforthought.
This Christmas season, we hope to be of service to you as you prepare your shopping lists. You can’t go wrong with the Gift of Travel!

Music and Travel
Music is the universal language of mankind.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
One of our favorite things about traveling is enjoying the diverse music from each culture. Although we may not always understand the lyrics, we can feel the passion and dance like a local.
Music can teleport us back in time to daydream about what life would be like in Greece during the 60s. Or we can imagine how fun and carefree the 80s were for Italians. As you can see, we can travel anywhere through music. On top of that, music brings communities together, tells stories, and makes traveling 10 times more exciting.
Throughout our travels, we have been able to recollect musical gems from various cultures. Each song holds a significant memory about an experience we lived or imagined.
With that in mind, we have a surprise for all of our Turtle-y Awesome Travelers! We have curated a special playlist with unique and global musical gems.
Use this playlist as inspiration to choose your next travel destination. Also, let us know your favorite song to get featured on our page.

Travel Thursday Tip | Volunteer Abroad & Earn Free Accommodation
Those who travel broaden their horizons. Those who volunteer and travel broaden the horizons of others…
Voluntouring.org
One of the many things that hold us back from traveling is money. Thinking about airfare, accommodation, food, and leisure can be discouraging when considering booking your next trip. However, what if we told you there was a way you could earn free accommodation as a volunteer? Even better, what if you were given the opportunity to experience cultural immersion, learn languages, and develop new skills?
Would you book your next trip without hesitation?
Worldpackers is an “online platform that connects travelers with incredible hosts on a global scale—who are looking to exchange their skills for accommodation.” This community revolutionizes volunteer travel by adding a cultural immersion component to it. Worldpackers allows you to choose from diverse work opportunities such as cooking and bartending, entertaining guests, communication and marketing, teaching, community work, and much more. When you connect with a Worldpacker host–such as a hostel, hotel, homestay, etc–you get free accommodation and other perks such as food, tours, etc.
Here at Turtle-y Awesome Travel, we don’t suggest anything without first experiencing it ourselves. Our travel advisors have experienced a Worldpackers trip and loved it.
Leonela, our newest Travel Advisor, lived in the luscious jungles of Costa Rica for free. She did a work exchange program helping a local hostel with their guest relations and received free accommodation in return. Overall, she was able to immerse herself into the “Pura Vida” culture, all while making lifelong connections with local people and saving $.
At TATLLC, you do the dreaming, and we do the planning. We are passionate about finding ways to make travel affordable for you, and Worldpackers is one of them!

Travel is a Lifestyle
You don’t have to travel far to see life with wonder.
If you take a moment to look around and admire the beauty surrounding you, you’ll get the same feeling as traveling to a foreign country.
No matter how ordinary your life may seem, you can encounter something new every day. Whether it’s a stranger, food, or landscape, there’s always something new to discover.
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.
– Marcel Proust
What makes traveling meaningful are the connections and the memories you make. Those are the souvenirs that last forever. So why not collect the ones around you?
This week I challenge you to go on a local adventure. Get to know the cashier at your food place. Say hello to a stranger. Visit a new park. Ask a Turtle-y Awesome Travel Advisor about their favorite places in town. I guarantee you there are locals eager to share their cultures and customs.
Here at Turtle-y Awesome Travel, we believe travel is a lifestyle, not just something you do once a year. Which is why, we encourage you to wander often and wonder always.
Book a free 30 minutes consultation (https://calendly.com/turtleyawesometravel) with one of our Travel Advisors to help plan your next local trip!
New memories are only a click away.

Happy Winter Solstice and First Day of Winter
On this official first day of Winter, many are preparing for some wintry weather, brutal cold, heavy snow, and blizzard conditions. If you live in Florida, consider yourself very lucky to have sunny days and 70 degree temperatures. Winter is definitely not for everyone, and many seek to travel to tropical destinations to pass some time. For those who live in warm places, we are with you all the way! Well, at least our thoughts are, but our bodies are still here.
If you had to choose a warm destination to be right now, where would it be?
