Guiding the adventurous on tours, curating unique itineraries, & finding hidden gems through travel.

The best reward isn’t just a successful trip; it’s knowing that the people who traveled with you loved it as much as you did. 🥰

The rave reviews from my Greece 🇬🇷 tour evaluations have made my heart so happy. Because to me, travel has never been just about visiting the popular places everyone talks about or checking destinations off a bucket list.

It’s about the people we meet, the connections we make, the discoveries along the way, and the experiences we get to share. It’s about stepping off the beaten path, supporting family-run mom-and-pop businesses, tasting recipes passed down through generations, and getting a glimpse into the everyday lives and traditions that make a place meaningful.

Of course, none of this would have been quite the same without our wonderful ground operator, Mary of Blue White Dream Tours, who took such great care of all the behind-the-scenes details, and Petros, our fantastic tour director, who looked after our group with so much thoughtfulness and care. I’m incredibly grateful to have had them by our side. Travel is a team effort, and the people who help bring these experiences to life deserve just as much appreciation. 🙏🏻 Mary Vass | Blue White Dream Travel |

Greece is such a special place, and I’m beyond thrilled that my peeps felt the same way.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not just where we go that matters, but what we experience, who we meet, and the memories we create together. 💙

Here’s to traveling with curiosity, connecting with the world, and making memories that go far beyond the itinerary. ✨

That’s ‘The Day We Travel’ way. 🥰

A late post, but here’s a little glimpse into our marvelous 10 days in Greece! 🇬🇷💙

Fourteen travelers from all over the U.S., half of whom already knew one another from previous adventures with The Day We Travel (🙋🏻‍♀️), came together for another unforgettable journey.

We spent three nights in Athens, followed by three nights each on the beautiful islands of Naxos and Santorini. Along the way, we experienced so much more than just the scenery: a visit to a local family dairy 🐄 farm, tastings at a family-run kitron 🍋 distillery, a winery 🍷 perched along a cliff with an underground cave, walking tours led by knowledgeable local guides, and, of course, a little history at the iconic Acropolis.

We also enjoyed a private cooking 🧑‍🍳 class where we rolled up our sleeves and made bread from scratch, prepared tzatziki and a fresh Greek salad, and cooked roasted chicken with potatoes. Even more special, the recipes were passed down from our host’s grandmother, giving us a little taste of family tradition and authentic Greek hospitality.

There was delicious food, wonderful company, fascinating stories, and plenty of opportunities to make each day our own. From optional private excursions to a few adventurous souls coordinating their very own donkey ride in Santorini, everyone found their own way to enjoy Greece!

But perhaps my favorite part? It truly felt like traveling with family. That’s the magic of small-group travel. Strangers become friends, familiar faces reconnect, and before you know it, you’re making memories together that will last a lifetime. 🥰

What a wonderful 10 days! Greece, you were spectacular. And to my 14 travelers, thank you for making this journey so special. ♥️

Until the next adventure! ✈️

10-day Christmas🎄holiday in Colombia? 🇨🇴 BOOKED! ✈️ 💼 ✅

Between leading my domestic tours and exploring the world on my own travels, I’ll have visited 13 countries across 6 continents by the end of 2026! 🗺️ ♥️

Canada 🇨🇦, Indonesia 🇮🇩(twice!), Vietnam 🇻🇳, Taiwan 🇹🇼 , Kenya 🇰🇪 , Belgium 🇧🇪 , Albania 🇦🇱, Greece 🇬🇷, Portugal 🇵🇹, Thailand 🇹🇭, Australia 🇦🇺, New Zealand 🇳🇿, and now Colombia 🇨🇴 to close out the year. 🥂

Sometimes I have to pinch myself when I think about all the places I’ve been fortunate enough to see and the experiences I’ve had along the way. Getting to explore different cultures, meet people from around the world, dine on the local foods, and experience life beyond my own little corner of it is something I never want to take for granted. 🥹

Feeling grateful for this life, the opportunities it brings, and all the adventures still to come. ✨

The world is too big, and life is too short, to stop being curious. 🌍 🥂

I hadn’t left the house OR showered in two days. 😂 Leading a 10-day tour where you’re “ON” all day, every day will do that to you! 🥱😮‍💨

But alas, I finally mustered up the energy to shower, put on real clothes, and rejoin civilization. 💁🏻‍♀️

First stop: grocery shopping. Look at me, being a functioning human again! HAHA. 😆 🛒

Handwritten notes like these will always touch my heart. ♥️

I’ve been in the travel biz since 2011, and when I’m not working, I’m out there exploring the world as a traveler myself. I know what it feels like to want to see, experience, and soak up as much as possible from every destination. 🌍

That’s why I always put myself in my guests’ shoes. I want to create the kind of vacation I’d want for myself—one filled with incredible experiences, meaningful connections, unexpected discoveries, and memories that last long after the trip ends.

Because at the end of the day, it’s never just about checking places off a list. It’s about how a place makes you feel and the stories you bring home.

Life’s too short not to do what you love and love what you do. And little reminders like these make all the hard work worth it. ☺️✨

Flew ✈️ to Chicago. Met 40 new faces. Hopped aboard a train heading west to Colorado. Met up with our motorcoach and spent the next 10 days exploring the American Southwest. 🏜️🚂

We conquered Utah’s Mighty 5 National Parks (and I may or may not have added Canyonlands National Park to the itinerary because we had the time, so why the hell not?! 😂), explored the incredible Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument (if you haven’t been, THIS IS A MUST-DO!), and wrapped up our adventure at the magnificent Grand Canyon National Park.

One final night at the beautiful Little America Hotel in Flagstaff, a farewell dinner, and then it was off to PHX to fly home. 🏠

10 days. 5 hotels. 4 states. 6 national parks. 1 national monument. 1 train ride covering 1,311 miles. 1,100+ miles on the motorcoach. 40 guests who became friends and, in many ways, family. And one fearless, collaborative motorcoach operator, Glen, whom I’ve had the pleasure of working with for nearly 10 years. 💕

And the best part? Happy guests. Because if my guests are happy, I’m happy. 🥹

What a sweet ending to a very busy but incredibly fulfilling tour season. Grateful for the places we explored, the memories we made, and the people who made it all worthwhile.

2026 tour season: THAT’S A WRAP! 🎬 🎉

Next stop: 📍 Asia, Australia & New Zealand! 🌏✈️

But first… let this tour director catch her breath. 😂🥂

As we left Naxos and boarded yet another ferry, the bus that picked us up was lucky #27 — my dad’s birthdate. 🥹

What are the odds?!

I couldn’t help but smile and think, Dad, I see you. ♥️

A little reminder that no matter where I go, or how far I travel, you’re always with me. ✨

Sometimes the smallest signs mean the most. 🥰🌍

Feeling very fortunate to be in Greece, taking in one of Athens’ most iconic landmarks. 🇬🇷✨

And I wouldn’t be here without my incredible group that signed up for this tour and trusted me to create this experience for them. 🥹
