You know what's coming. The resolutions. The broken promises. The "new year, new me" energy that usually fizzles out by February.

But what if this year was actually different?

I'm sitting down with my friend Rachel Trapani, an elementary school teacher from Michigan who went from taking one trip in 2019 that she couldn't afford to five international trips per year by 2023. She's been on five of my group trips plus two scouting trips to Puerto Rico and Kenya.

We're breaking down the exact 10 resolutions that transformed her travel life - from automating her savings to packing light, mastering long-haul flights, and saying yes to trips that scared her. This isn't about vague promises like "I'll travel more." This is your actual roadmap to making 2026 your best travel year yet.
