Travel is not just about getting from one place to another. It's the journey from the time sparks, to planning and packing, navigating airports, enjoying the stay, and the memories made along the way. I created Apogee Stays because I love the travel journey and the excitement it brings, so why not highlight all things travel?!
Apogee Stays was created out of my love for the entire travel process and the excitement it brings. The word apogee means “the highest point” or “culmination,” and I believe every part of travel can feel like this and you can be fully present, soaking in each moment, whether it is a first-time adventure abroad or a quiet weekend getaway.
An Apogee Travel Experience
Rather than checking boxes or rushing from sight to sight, travel is best when it blends preparation, intentionality, and experiences. Here is how to create your own apogee stay:
Prepare with Purpose
Stay ready so you don’t have to get ready! From your itinerary to packing your bags, intentional preparation makes all the difference.
Over-plan your itinerary: Schedule transportation in advance and have backup options in case of delays or cancellations, especially for transfers to and from your accommodation. The last thing you want to experience is avoidable panic or stress while traveling.
Prioritize experiences: Make a list of restaurants, landmarks, or activities. Note which you must-do so the rest can flex depending on your mood or energy.
Pack smart: Versatile clothing is key! Choose pieces that are comfortable, stylish, layer easily, and are practical for long airport waits, chilly planes, or a spontaneous adventure. Your travel outfit can spark conversations for chance introductions too. (That’s why I designed my travel-inspired apparel!)
Be Intentional
In our fast-paced world, travel offers a rare chance to pause. You have permission to slow down and notice the small details like the way a city wakes up, the smell of a local dish, or a smile from a stranger. Connect with your feelings, your companions, and the cultures you encounter. These mindful moments help transform a trip into an apogee stay.
Capture Memories
The journey of traveling is important as is how we remember it. Places we explore, foods we eat, souvenirs, and even the clothes we wear can anchor us to those moments long after the trip is over. Document your journey in ways that feel natural to you. Take photos, record videos or voice notes, or write in a journal. It’s okay to allow yourself time to experience without capturing everything in real time. Sometimes the best reflections come later, when you sit down to write or vlog about your experience. (I love journaling, which inspired me to create a travel journal designed just for us.)
