So excited to finally share this 🥹✨

A huge thank you to Justin W. Dudkiewicz, the winner of my 2025 referral giveaway! Every time a past client referred someone new my way, their name went into a drawing — and Justin’s was the lucky winner for 2025.

He chose a Disney Gift Card (because of course 💫), and I love knowing it’ll be used right where the magic happens.

I’m endlessly grateful for clients who support my small business by sharing it with others. Referrals like this are the heartbeat of Travels with Spencer, and I don’t take that trust lightly.

Thank you, Justin — and enjoy every magical moment! 🏰✨

Hey friends,

As the year comes to a close, I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting — and one thing is very clear: I’m incredibly grateful for you.

Thank you for trusting me with your travel plans and your special moments. I know there are so many choices out there, and the fact that you chose me means more than I can properly express. Helping you plan trips, celebrate milestones, and create memories is something I truly care about, and I never take that responsibility lightly.

Helping people travel matters deeply to me because it’s about more than destinations — it’s about connection, joy, growth, and giving yourself the space to truly live and experience the world in a meaningful way.

I hope this holiday season gives you moments of joy, rest, and connection — the kind that fills your cup and reminds you what really matters. However you celebrate, I hope it’s wrapped in warmth, laughter, and a little bit of magic.

And please know this: I’m always here. Whenever you’re ready to dream, plan, or escape — whether it’s something big or something simple — my heart is in helping you make those trips of a lifetime happen again and again.

Thank you for being part of my journey. I’m so thankful for you, and I can’t wait to keep creating beautiful experiences together.

Sending you so much warmth this season.

May your year be full of adventure and your bags always be half unpacked — because you never know what’s next.

With gratitude,
Spencer

🌈 Happy National Coming Out Day from Travels with Spencer

Coming out is about so much more than words — it’s about safety, freedom, and the right to exist without fear. It’s the quiet strength of those who show up authentically in a world that sometimes tells us not to. And it’s the bravery of those who can’t yet, who protect themselves until it’s safe to do so.

In travel, those same truths follow us. For so many in the LGBTQIA+ community, planning a trip isn’t just about where to go — it’s about where it’s safe to be seen. It’s wondering if you can hold your partner’s hand at dinner. If a hotel will treat you with respect. If a destination will welcome you, not tolerate you.

That’s why I do what I do.
I believe in travel that doesn’t just take you places — it frees you.
I believe in building itineraries that celebrate love in all its forms.
And I believe that every traveler deserves to feel seen, valued, and protected no matter where their passport takes them.

For me, being out isn’t just a personal truth — it’s a promise.
A promise to keep creating spaces where others can experience the world without shrinking themselves. A promise to keep showing up, even when it feels risky, because visibility saves lives.

🏳️‍🌈 Wherever you go, go proudly. 🌍

🇮🇪 Our last port day brought us to Dublin — and this city was nonstop energy.

The day started with an early tender into port, a train full of school kids (field trip vibes 😂), and then onto the hop-on hop-off bus. It didn’t take long to realize we’d rather explore on foot — dodging cars, buses, and trams in the hustle and bustle of the city.

We strolled past high-end shops, ducked into souvenir stores for those last trip mementos, and soaked up the energy of O’Connell Street — Dublin’s main thoroughfare lined with history and life. Of course, we had to swing through the Temple Bar District too: cobblestones, music spilling out of pubs, and that buzzing nightlife charm even during the day.

For lunch? In true chaotic fashion, we skipped the fancy pubs and went to a world-famous spot… McDonald’s. 🍔🤣 Sometimes the golden arches call, even in Ireland.

Dublin was fast, fun, and full of character — the perfect way to wrap up our final port before heading back out to sea.

🌍 Trips like this remind me why I love what I do: creating adventures that balance the iconic and the unexpected. Ready for your own? DM me and let’s plan your trip of a lifetime.

✨ Day 11 | Belfast & Beyond ✨

Northern Ireland gave us one of the most unforgettable days of this trip.

🌆 Belfast City – We began in the heart of Belfast, taking in the sights and the city’s history. The political murals stood out most — once symbols of division during The Troubles (a period of conflict from the late 1960s–1998), many now carry messages of peace and unity.

🏰 Dunluce Castle – Next up were the dramatic ruins of this medieval castle, perched right on the cliffs of County Antrim. You can almost picture knights and ships from centuries ago.

🪨 Giant’s Causeway – Absolutely breathtaking. Over 40,000 hexagonal basalt columns formed by ancient volcanic activity stretch toward the sea. It’s no wonder Irish legend says the giant Finn McCool built them as a path to Scotland. Definitely a highlight of my journey so far.

🌳 The Dark Hedges – This tunnel of beech trees has an otherworldly feel, and Game of Thrones fans will recognize it instantly as the Kingsroad.

❤️ Scarlet Night – Back onboard, the day ended in true Virgin Voyages style: with an epic Scarlet Night in the Red Room. No VV sailing is complete without it — music, energy, and everything glowing red.

Now we’ve got a sea day today to reflect and recharge before our grand finale in Dublin. 🚢✨
