Why “Heald by Travel”?
Over the years, and through all the highs and lows of life, there has been one constant - travel! My family and I have travelled to dozens of destinations, been on 100’s of flights, and made many wonderful memories.
And, on all of these trips, I have found healing. Whether it was healing my job stress and burnout, healing my connection to family, or healing my grief - travel has had a huge effect on my life. So, I thought I’d share some of my “Heald by Travel” stories with you in hopes to inspire you to get out and travel more. My stories will mostly be about destinations outside Canada - not because I haven’t visited many wonderful locations in Canada - but just because I tend to find more time to write while I’m away for a week or more. Wherever you decide to go - to a neighbouring city or neighbouring province or to a land far away - my hope is that you will be healed by travel!
As my tagline says, I believe that Wellness Travel Begins at Home - meaning that the more you can take care of yourself while at home, your healing during travel will be elevated. I have heard many stories from friends and colleagues who have travelled with hopes of relaxing “down time” and healing, but instead found themselves feeling under the weather while they were away. This phenomenon called “leisure sickness” was written about in this Condé Nast Traveler article. There are some great tips in this article, and I plan to engage wellness experts to share other wellness tips with you - check out the “Wellness” tab in the future.
Finally, I am excited to announce Heald By Travel’s first vacation rental property is ready for booking! Click on “Book Now” on the home page to find out all the details about Beso del Sol in Santa Marianita, Manabi, Ecuador! Hope to see you there sometime soon!
Warmly,
