Trin's Weekly Wander

Looking for a destination that feels like stepping into a postcard?   Let me introduce you to Jackson Hole —one of the most magical places I’ve ever traveled to. This charming Wyoming mountain town checks every box for peace, adventure, and wow-worthy views. 1.   Nature is the star of the show The Grand Tetons literally rise up behind the town.  Whether you’re into hiking, wildlife spotting, or just sipping coffee with a view, Jackson Hole gives you that fresh air + cozy cabin dream combo. 2.   Perfect all year round Winter?  Skiing, snowmobiling, sleigh rides through elk country.  Summer?  Floating the Snake River, horseback riding, and picnics under endless sky.  Honestly, there’s no bad time to go. 3.   It feels like a hidden luxury From boutique hotels to elevated mountain cuisine, Jackson Hole somehow balances rustic charm with a bit of luxe.  It’s the kind of place where you can wear hiking boots and drink c...

 And why you’ll never want to plan a trip without one again. You know that feeling when you’ve opened 14 tabs comparing hotels, read 37 “Top 10 Things to Do” lists, and still don’t feel confident in your decision?  That’s where a travel advisor comes in — and makes your life 100x easier. At Travel with Trin , my goal is simple: to help you enjoy the fun parts of travel and leave the stress behind. Here’s how I do that: 1.  Say Goodbye to Hours of Research I’ve already done the legwork for you.  I know which resorts are family-friendly, which cruise lines have the best kid zones, and which destinations are worth your time (and which ones to skip).  Instead of hours of online searching, you get expert-backed recommendations just for you. 2.  You Get Curated Options, Not Clutter Rather than dumping 100 choices on your lap, I narrow it down to the top 1–3 options that fit your goals, budget, and vibe.  You pick your favorite — and we’re off. 3....

If you’ve been following me for any length of time, you probably already know that Galveston, Texas holds a special place in my heart.  It’s not just a cruise port or a day-trip stop—it’s a vibe .  Here’s why I keep going back and think you should too. 1.   It’s the perfect pre-cruise or weekend getaway Whether you’re sailing out soon or just need a slow weekend near the water, Galveston delivers.  You can walk the Seawall, grab shrimp tacos, and watch the sun rise over the Gulf—all in the same day. 2.   Charming historic downtown The Strand District is full of vintage shops, cozy cafes, and local art.  I always stop at Mod Coffeehouse for a lavender latte and take a stroll to find a new mural for the ‘gram. 😉 3.   Family-friendly + budget friendly There’s something for everyone—from the free ferry ride (hello, dolphin spotting!) to Moody Gardens and the cute mini-train at the Galveston Railroad Museum. Bonus Tip : If you’re plann...
