The 2 Best Ways to Unlock the Secrets of Your Next Destination

When you're planning a trip, how do you make sure you see everything you want to without missing out on the best-kept secrets a destination has to offer?

Whether you’re traveling by boat or not, when planning your next vacation, you want to try to fit everything in. But it’s not always that easy, and can be overwhelming when you’re visiting a new place.

On this week’s episode, Bill (my husband!), joins me aboard Abide. We’re in Antigua as we record this one, after a week of sailing the Caribbean, and we have a strategy to share with you around getting the most out of visiting somewhere new - particularly an island destination.

These are the two things that we do every time we visit an island that allows us to uncover its secrets without getting overwhelmed.

Oh, and we’ll share a few stories with you on some of the incredible sights and near-death experiences we’ve collected from our voyages to Gran Canaria, Saba and more…

Highlights from this episode:

  • How to prevent overwhelm when everything is new.
  • The two things we do when visiting a new island to uncover its best bits.
  • Some of the most gorgeous sights we’ve spotted that might have you planning your next trip.
  • Lessons from our biggest travel mistakes!
  • What you should always find out before exploring a new destination.
  • And more!

Cheryl stayed home with her four children for many years, where she found her engineering and actuarial science degrees to be surprisingly useful. Together with her husband they also ran a horse boarding barn for several years. As new empty nesters, they sold the farm, moved to Charleston, SC, and bought Abide, a 136' sailboat, with the goal of sailing to as many places around the world as possible.
