Here's what stops most people before they even begin: the feeling that you're supposed to have everything decided upfront. The dates. The budget. The itinerary. Who's coming. Whether you have the energy. Whether you're "ready." But that's not actually how travel begins. Most trips don't start with a detailed plan. They start with something quieter: - A photo you can't stop thinking about - Wondering what it would feel like to walk those streets - A whisper in your mind: "I think I want this... someday." That whisper? That's enough to start. Every single person in this group who's traveled somewhere amazing began the same way not with all the answers, but with a spark of curiosity. So let's make this easy. ✨ The "One Inch" Travel Check-In What's one small thing you could do today that moves you just a little closer to your next adventure? Nothing overwhelming. Nothing that has to be perfect. Maybe it's: - Checking your passport expiration date - Looking up one place that's been calling to you - Saving a photo, hotel listing, or cruise that caught your attention - Asking that question you've been keeping to yourself Just one inch. That's all. 👇 Drop your "one inch" in the comments even if it feels tiny. Travel clarity doesn't come from having it all together. It comes from small steps forward, taken without pressure. Even noticing it counts.

Quick check-in — no pressure to answer this perfectly: When you think about travel right now, what feels most true for you? • “I really want to go somewhere”• “I like the idea, but timing/life makes it tricky”• “I’m curious, just not ready yet”• “I’m happy reading and getting inspired for now” Any of those (or something else) is totally okay.
