Exciting New Beginnings: Join Me on My Journey!

Hey everyone!

I wanted to take a moment to share some updates and invite you to follow me on my new adventures. Unfortunately, I recently lost my Queen Thrifty Facebook page, but I’m not letting that slow me down! I’m thrilled to announce that you can now connect with me on Life with Ra’Nesha on TikTok and Springer Travel Adventures on Instagram!

Reflecting on My Journey

I began my blogging journey in 2017, and it’s been an incredible ride! From attending red carpet premieres to meeting A-list celebrities, I’ve had experiences I never could have imagined. As much as I’ve loved sharing those moments with you, I feel it’s time for something new and exciting.

Celebrating Five Years as a Travel Advisor

2024 marks the start of my fifth year as a travel advisor, and it has been nothing short of incredible! With over 225 clients exploring stunning destinations, sailing the high seas, and creating first-time travel memories, this year has been our most exciting yet!

For the past three years (and five in the industry), we’ve been passionately crafting dream vacations. Our full-service travel planning has earned us a loyal community of adventurers. We don’t just book trips; we curate experiences tailored to your desires, ensuring every journey is seamless and unforgettable.

Our solid partnerships with top vendors mean you get exclusive deals and unparalleled service. Plus, we’ve personally visited many of these breathtaking properties to ensure they meet our high standards before you set foot on them.

I’m also thrilled to share that I’m embarking on a new adventure as a travel agency owner in partnership with my husband. Together, we’re dedicated to creating unforgettable experiences for all of you!

Let’s Dive into Travel Tips for the Holiday Season

As we gear up for the holiday season, I want to kick things off with some travel tips to help make your journeys smoother and more enjoyable. Whether you’re heading home for the holidays or exploring a new destination, these tips will ensure you make the most of your travels!

1. Plan Ahead

  • Book Early: Flights and accommodations can fill up fast during the holidays. Secure your spots as early as possible for the best rates.
  • Create an Itinerary: Outline your must-see places and activities to maximize your time.

2. Pack Smart

  • Layer Up: Weather can be unpredictable. Bring layers to stay comfortable.
  • Travel Light: Pack only what you need. This makes moving between locations easier and helps avoid extra baggage fees.

3. Stay Flexible

  • Be Ready for Changes: Travel plans can shift. Keep a positive attitude and adapt to new situations.
  • Leave Extra Time: Whether it’s for airport security or unexpected traffic, give yourself plenty of buffer time.

4. Utilize Technology

  • Travel Apps: Download apps that provide real-time updates on flights, local attractions, and dining options.
  • Offline Maps: Download maps of your destination in advance to navigate without using data.

5. Stay Safe

  • Keep Valuables Close: Always be mindful of your belongings, especially in crowded places.
  • Emergency Contacts: Have a list of important contacts saved in your phone, just in case.

6. Embrace Local Culture

  • Try Local Foods: Don’t miss out on regional specialties. Exploring local cuisine is one of the best parts of travel!
  • Engage with Locals: Ask for recommendations and tips—locals often know the best spots that aren’t in guidebooks.

I’m really excited to share more tips and experiences with you on this new journey! Make sure to follow me on TikTok at Life with Ra’Nesha and Instagram at SpringerTravel_Adventure. Let’s connect, share our travel stories, and inspire each other as we navigate this busy holiday season together!

Happy travels!

Much love,
Ra’Nesha
