TRAVEL INSPIRATION

If you’ve ever dreamed of cruising through Alaska—towering glaciers, misty fjords, and wildlife that feels straight out of a nature documentary—you already know it’s not just a trip... it’s an experience. This easy-to-read digital guide walks you through the key differences between big ship, small ship, and expedition-style cruises, so you can confidently choose what fits your travel style, comfort level, and pace.

If you’re a woman 40+ (or close enough!) who loves cruise travel — river, ocean, or expedition — we’d love to welcome you aboard.

My 3x3+3 method = one happy traveler (and zero zipper drama!) It’s designed to give you comfort, style, and flexibility—without the chaos.

These are the comfort-boosting, sanity-saving travel items I swear by (plus one bonus pick just for fun).
