Boosting mental health with travel to Santa Barbara: restaurants, wine and goats!
01/29/21 • 17 min
This episode is about Lizzie's spiritual home - Santa Barbara.
It may not be the first place people think about when it comes to Californian destinations, but it definitely shouldn't be the last either.
We're all about boosting mental wealth on this show, and this destination has previously had a profound positive impact on Lizzie's own mental health.
Jocilyn does a fantastic job of selling this less obvious west coast city to Colin. Although, recently, Colin's been an easy sell! Who can blame him? We're all pretty desperate to get anywhere right now...
Check out these incredible photos of the scenery you can expect if you decide to go to Santa Barbara on a trip booked with us.
Among some of the wonderful activities Jocilyn describes to us are enjoying a sip of wine while watching the sunset, getting up at the crack of dawn to watch the sunrise, and grabbing a goat for some much needed exercise.... Oh, yes. Seriously. Just listen!
We hope you'll agree, Jocilyn (pictured) does a magnificent job of describing this wonderful retreat in America.

This time, we decided to get a customer to inspire us!
Amy has booked a number of travel trips with us and she's touched us by sharing with us the video footage of her family enjoying them.
Here's just one example of the many videos she's blessed us with!
In this episode, she tells us about her trips to Vietnam, Costa Rica, Antigua and Montserrat.
The Caribbean trip to Montserrat was a particularly special one for Amy and her family, as it's the home base of her heritage.
She has ties to the area that go back generations.
Before she delves into that particular journey, she tells us about the crazy traffic in Saigon.
She shares her joy of watching her children experiencing and interacting with the legacy of the Vietnam war.
We also hear about the calmness and serenity she enjoyed in Costa Rica.
Last but not least, we hear about the literally hair-raising flight she took on a chartered plane to Montserrat.
