Why Millennials Are Traveling More (and What That Really Means)

We’re not running from responsibility. We’re running toward life.

📷 July 2025 - boarding Utopia of the Seas from Perfect Day at CocoCay with my boys, captured by my sweet mama. Moments like this remind me exactly why we travel.

I’m traveling a LOT these days.

But it isn’t just me... Millennials, as an age group, are traveling more.

It’s a trend worth paying attention to, and here’s what I’ve noticed: Millennials aren’t reckless. We’re observant. We watched generations before us put off joy in favor of doing things the “right” way.

Three Generations. One Perfect Day. My boys and my mom at our Breezy Bay beach bed on Perfect Day at CocoCay - a name that lives up to the experience! A perfect day was had by all.

There are old ways of living, and there are new ones, and right now, the Millennial way is taking over.

We don’t stay in the same job for decades, trading loyalty for pennies while corporations call it even. We saw parents and grandparents skip trips, dinners out, and the little moments that come from being truly present.

Our mantra? Don’t postpone joy for retirement.

Because too often, by the time retirement came, their bodies were tired. Their health had changed, and the money they counted on didn’t stretch as far as they thought it would.

We took notes.

We learned.

And we decided we’re not waiting to live.

So we travel now.

We work from our phones.

We find deals.

We take our kids out of school and bring them along for the ride - to see the world through their own eyes.

Time is the one resource we don’t get back.

Millennials aren’t running from responsibility.

We’re running toward an abundant life.

Getting kisses on the beach bed from my youngest - the kind of moment that stops you right in your tracks. Ugh, my heart.

If this resonated with you - if you’re ready to stop waiting and start living - I’d love to help you plan the trip that brings your “someday” to life... NOW.

Because life is sweeter on the high seas...

👉 Let’s plan your next adventure together.
