How do I Live Life to the Fullest?

Dubai and Maldives Travel

“It’s not selfish, but selfless to be first, to be as good as possible to you, to take care of you, to keep you whole and healthy, that doesn’t mean that you disregard everything and everyone, but you gotta keep your cup full.”

– Iyanla Vanzant

You can’t control what the other athlete is going to do; you can’t control anything except for your competition and how you execute the race or how you execute the task.

  • Michael Johnson, Olympic Athlete

“There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called yesterday and the other is called tomorrow, so today is the right day to love, believe, do and mostly live.”

Dalai Lama

“Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.”

-Albert Schweitzer

“Almost universally, when people look back on their lives while on their deathbed […] they wish they had spent more time with the people and activities they truly loved and less time worrying about aspects of life that, upon deeper examination, really don’t matter at all that much. Imagining yourself at your own funeral allows you to look back at your life while you still have the chance to make some important changes.”

― Richard Carlson, Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff

Cowardice asks the question, is it safe? Expediency asks the question, is it politic? Vanity asks the question, is it popular? But conscience asks the question, is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because it is right.


– Martin Luther King, Jr.

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly.

– Albert Einstein

I would rather lose you as a friend because I SPEAK TRUTH than remain your friend and BE SILENT.

-Unknown

2Busynot2Travel® is pure travel passion!
 
Over the years, busy bee was our mode of operation with never finding time for self but always finding time for everyone else and we finally became tired of being shackled to a desk, shackled to close minds and shackled to the insanity of doing the same thing day in and day out but expecting something to change. We finally realized that a choice needed to be made; a choice of where to focus our busy energy and we chose to be busy at living life through travel and to bring the world along with us.   

2BusyNot2Travel® is Wanda Thomas, a happy go lucky, laughter filled native New Yorker raised in North Carolina and exposed to all the world has to offer. She is a certified travel consultant, CLIA, IATA and ASTA member with a degree in Finance. She has an eclectic background but currently focuses on Planning and Escorting groups of women and occasionally men throughout the world. She is also a Personal Finance Specialist, Project Management Professional (PMP), an American Society for Quality Certified Quality Improvement Associate (CQIA), a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated and a respected business professional.

In the heart of our travel tribe beats the spirit of Lauren Carroll Horne. She is not just a figment of imagination but a radiant, living essence of wisdom, grace, and vivacity. Lauren embodies the qualities of intelligence, trailblazing courage, timeless beauty, sass, elegance, and unmatched class. A professional woman, aged between 40 and 65, Lauren has navigated through life’s tempests and triumphs with a resilience that is both inspiring and humbling.

Lauren represents the many unsung heroines who, despite their professional accolades and personal milestones, often find themselves at life’s crossroads. Balancing the challenges of aging, caring for loved ones, and striving for excellence in careers that may not always recognize their worth, Lauren seeks more. She yearns for a space where her voice is heard, her identity embraced, and her spirit rejuvenated.

Our clientele, like Lauren, comprises women who have reached a juncture where the pursuit of peace, serenity, and authentic connections becomes not just a desire but a necessity. These women, having fulfilled roles as the unspoken leaders of their families, successful entrepreneurs, or corporate executives, now seek to experience the world through their own lens, unfiltered by societal expectations or limitations.

The need for such a sanctuary is underscored by statistics highlighting the importance of mental and physical well-being, especially for women over 40. The transformative power of travel, coupled with the therapeutic benefits of laughter, fun, and genuine camaraderie, cannot be overstated. It offers a unique avenue for healing, self-discovery, and empowerment.
