Staying In: Kamandalu Hotel Review

⁣On my stories I'm in Florida but I'm actually on a different continent! 🤭⠀
⠀
Here is why I don't post in real time:⠀
1. SAFETY - First and foremost it's not the best idea to post exactly where I am and what I'm doing especially when I'm traveling solo. The world can be dangerous place and I try my best to eliminate the risks I am in control of and this is one of them.⠀
2. IN THE MOMENT - I get to take all my photos and videos and then put the phone and camera away. I don't have to immediately edit or try and upload anything.⠀
3. STORYTELLING - Once I'm done with my trip or moved on to the next part I get to look through all my content and pick the things that are worth sharing in a way that is cohesive and coherent.⠀
⠀
One downside is that I usually get some of the best recommendations from y'all in my DMs and I unfortunately I have to file them away for later.⠀
⠀
Did you know that I post my travel stories on a delay? Do you think this is a good thing to do?⠀

⁣😴Where do you like to lay your head? ⠀
⠀
There are so many options for accommodations when you travel. Hotels, vacation rentals, glamping, bed and breakfast, oh my! ⠀
⠀
Each has their own pros and cons.⠀
⠀
🏨Hotels are convenient and have a dedicated staff.⠀
🏠Vacation rentals are great for large groups and have the comforts of home.⠀
⛺Glamping spots are unique experiences.⠀
🤗BnB’s make you feel like you are part of the family.⠀
⠀
When you travel, which accommodation do you choose?⠀
⠀
This is The Stardome Suite at @hozhonionthehill, a clear dome luxury glamping experience overlooking Lake LBJ and Lake Marble Falls.⠀

⁣Summer is ending and we are getting into my FAVORITE time of year to travel... 😎SHOULDER SEASON BABY!! ⠀
⠀
What is shoulder season? It's the time at a destination between low and high seasons. Generally, this is the fall and spring. I've even seen some places refer to is as "secret season," 😉hello marketing!⠀
⠀
What's the advantage to shoulder season? Cheaper plane tickets and accommodations, less people, good weather!⠀
⠀
Fall shoulder season has a lot to do with school schedules. As kids are back in school, less families are traveling. Shoulder season dates can vary, so make sure you are doing your research.⠀
⠀
Worried that you missed shoulder season this year? Look at dates between Thanksgiving and Christmas for another season of spectacular deals in between big holiday travel times.⠀
⠀
When is your favorite time of year to travel?

⁣BUDGET TIPS: I love to travel mouth first and I

⁣BUDGET TIPS: I love to travel mouth first and I have even been known to book a dinner reservation before nailing down my accommodations.⠀
⠀
Here are my tips on how to save money on food when traveling:⠀
🍽Try to book a place that has a refrigerator, this will allow you to bring back leftovers or some groceries. Even if a fridge isn't included in a room, sometimes you can ask a hotel to bring you one - just call and ask if they have this available.⠀
🍽Get food from grocery stores or convenience stores, it's going to be much cheaper than going out and for real, there are some good convenience store food options - looking at you Japan!⠀
🍽Check out @Groupon, @Restaurantdotcom, @travelzoo etc. Some of these sites are world-wide so you can score a certificate deal for a restaurant.⠀
🍽Bring some bars/snacks from home. I usually pack a few bars in my carry-on just in case I get hangry while I'm traveling and if I don't eat them on my travel day I'll use them as a grab and go breakfast.⠀
🍽I'll opt for a heavier lunch instead of a heavier dinner. Quite a few lunch menus are actually going to be cheaper than dinner - this is a great option if your splurge restaurant is a bit too pricey, check the lunch menu instead!⠀
🍽Bring a water bottle. Not only are single use water bottles the worst but buying a new one every time you are thirsty it a budget no-no!⠀
🍽Stop by the Tourism Board's office or visit their website and pick up a visitor's guide. Often restaurants will have coupons in it.⠀
⠀
What are some tips you have on saving money on food when traveling?

⠀
Travel restrictions are changing nearly everyday as numbers fluctuate so it’s important to have up-to-date information. Here is a roundup of websites to check for international travel restrictions that are easy to understand:⠀
⠀
🗺@cdcgov Travel Guidelines – General guidelines for how to reduce risk while traveling.⠀
🗺tripsguard.com – Allows you to look up travel restrictions worldwide. Sort by location or level of restriction.⠀
🗺iatatravelcentre.com – Provides a Travel Regulations Map. Mainly used by airlines and other aviation partners to securely manage the passenger document verification process.⠀
🗺@statedept Travel Advisories – This is a good site to check anytime you travel internationally.⠀
🗺@kayak Travel Restrictions Map – Country by country breakdown of travel restrictions.⠀
🗺@delta Travel Update Center – Covers both international and domestic travel restrictions and entry requirements.⠀
⠀
I recommend using a variety of these resources and double check information on government sites as it can sometimes take a while for each site to update as restrictions change.⠀

⁣📢You don't have to LOVE everywhere you go.⠀
⠀
Sometimes you just feel meh about a place, sometimes you just don't vibe with it. And sometimes it's a place that has gotten so much hype that you feel weird saying you didn't like it 😳⠀
⠀
I would like to normalize that you don't have to be blown away by everywhere you go, that a piece of your heart isn't left in every destination. ⠀
⠀
Acknowledging this makes the places that do resonate with you, the places that make your heart sing, all the more special.⠀
⠀
We had fun with this on stories this week...⠀
Let me know in the comments what place didn't live up to hype for you and a place that you absolutely love!⠀
⠀
PS. Juneau made my heart sing 💗⠀
