Four years ago, I had a health issue that I couldn’t shake off for more than 6 months. I didn’t need another vacation. I needed healing. So I took a leap and went on a retreat. It cracked me open in all the right ways…and I’ve been hooked ever since.

Since then, I’ve been on over 20 retreats and even started helping facilitate them in beautiful places like Iceland and Sweden. These experiences have brought me back to life, over and over again.

Gone are the days of needing a vacation fromyour vacation. Sure, there’s a time and place for beachside cocktails and sightseeing marathons, but more and more, people are craving something deeper. A reset. A reconnection. A break that actually restores them. That’s why retreats are the best way to travel in 2025. Here’s why I choose them over typical getaways…and why you might want to, too.
