Hey loves,
It’s Happy Tourism Day!
No, we’re not making this up!
It’s an actual calendar date set to celebrate everyone with a little wanderlust or babes who just want a lil’ break from their day-to-day life and hide out in the mountains or somewhere along the beach.
It’s for the lasses who aren’t afraid of solo traveling, of venturing into the deep woods and capturing some of the world’s most exotic, lost, and forgotten gems.
It’s for you, the Packing Champion who’d rack up awards for being a master road trip packer. Yeah, we see you with the packing cubes (the best kept-secret to luggage organizing), the noise-canceling headphones (coz you don’t subscribe to yelling at crying babies on a plane), and the CitySafe CX Anti-Theft Square Crossbody that’s bound to keep the pick pocketers and predators away. You are a star!
And finally, it’s for you, mom. We know it’s not Mother’s Day yet, but we here at ECT will always celebrate you for just existing. For the work you put in every day, the effort you put into comforting us even when you yourself are hurting inside and never asking for anything in return – not even a simple thank you.
You, Queen, deserve all the R&R the universe can conjure up in some fancy wellness retreat and all the spirit-lifting, heart-warming, and backache-crushing massages money can buy! You deserve 300 billion thank yous, 500 billion smiles, and an all-paid pass to every one of these world-changing destinations.
So, pack your bag and prepare for the most relaxing, sleep-filled, and pampering trip of your life! Oh, and don’t forget to check out some of our travel tips. They’re life-changing. Seriously!
See you on the other side, sis!
