Synopsis

Everyone wants to look back on a life filled with cherished moments they’ve shared with family and friends. But for many people, planning a lifetime of travel with such a high bar can be overwhelming. Where do you start? Where do you go? How do you ensure these experiences will be extraordinary for everyone? Many plan trips based on popular destinations and then come home a bit disappointed that it wasn't as memorable as they expected. What was missing was a Travel Bucket List; a simple but effective long term plan that motivates and guides you through one amazing journey to the next.

In "Your Travel Bucket List", you are encouraged to plan well ahead and your creativity is sparked with thoughtful journaling prompts, quotes and conversation starters to help do a deep dive into why you travel and what you most want out of your trips. There are also inspiring true stories of other travelers' and families' bucket lists as well as stunning visuals to give you new and unique trip ideas. As you complete the book, you will uncover what you love to do, create a travel style, and set the bar high with goals of what you want to accomplish on your trips. The final worksheets help you set goals and create tailored plans to achieve your travel dreams.

Estee Gubbay is an experienced travel advisor who has traveled the world and curated enthralling trips with her family and many others in just this way. With more than twenty years of facilitating workshops on goal setting and pursuing a life of balance and fulfillment, she will guide you through the step by step process she uses with her clients to get more out or your trips and create those truly unforgettable memories with friends and loved ones.

About the author

My previous book, "Your Travel Bucket List: The Ultimate Guide to Enrich Your Life with Great Adventures and Unforgettable Memories", what a self help book to enrich your life through travel planning.

This book is derived from my very successful workshops, called "Travel Talks". I facilitate these for various businesses and their clients. In particular with Financial Planners, as putting together a travel portfolio goes well with having a financial plan for your future. Your most valuable asset is your leisure time!

I am also very comfortable on camera and plan to do as much press and on camera interviews as possible. I have been an actress since a child and have professionally worked for producers to teach in their online corporate training videos for sale.

I'm building several partnerships with established brands. Along with the book launch, I have designed and am co-facilitating several workshops, online programs and retreats. We will be making the book available to all members. My goal is to sell the book in every self development institute, luxury spa and wellness resort, bookstore and online and offering the products through my partners stores, clubs and on my website.
Successful workshops have included:
Work/Life Balance for Gen X Women Leaders
Elevate: Fulfillment for Women in Transition
Bold Feminine & Free (Success without Burnout)

Cranthorpe Millner

250 copies • Partial manuscript.
Cranthorpe Millner operates a hybrid publishing model. This means, should an author pass our editors’ strict filtering system, we can offer different kinds of agreements depending on the author and the manuscript. With some authors, we work under a ‘traditional’ model, whereby we cover the full cost of publication and the author is offered industry-standard royalties (8-10%). To some authors, we offer what we call a partnership or contributory agreement, whereby the author is asked for a financial contribution so that we may share the risk and enter into a partnership together to publish the author’s book. In this case, the author receives around 60-75% royalties.

1106 Design, LLC

Dear Author,

You worked hard to write your manuscript; finally, it's ready to release. You know that expert assistance is needed, but perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.

1106 Design is an author services company. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a market-ready book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in your name. This means you earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty.”

We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. That's why we offer a range of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices. Depending on your manuscript's word count and complexity, our packages range from $4,000 to $10,000. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of net revenue from book sales goes directly to you, never to us.

If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.

1106 Design has been in business since 2001 and is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. We are a “Highly Recommended Expert” at IngramSpark.com and rated "Excellent" at Alli, The Alliance for Independent Authors, at SelfPublishingAdvice.org, where you can find a "watchdog list" of the best and worst publishing services companies.

How can we serve you today?

Sincerely,
Michele DeFilippo, owner

Custom Travel Bucket List Consultations and Portfolio

0 readers

Some people find the very idea of a list to be daunting.
Your list is supposed to be deeply personal and meaningful. It’s intended to launch you on a series of life-fulfilling experiences . . . well, you might be intimidated by the prospect of taking on such a project all by yourself.
That’s one wonderful way in which an experienced and travel-wise professional can support you.
I would be delighted to help you on this journey.
When I work with my clients on their travel plan, they discover new travel ideas using an amazing, private online Netflix style travel portal filled with videos, articles, music and activities from around the world. Then we meet in person or by video conference to discuss their results and brainstorm trips that match everyone’s desires and interests. To cap off the experience, I give them a gorgeous wooden travel portfolio, filled with all of their information, survey results, budget, maps, a travel trip sequence and schedule. After you have your portfolio completed, I will be on the lookout for special offers and unique journeys comparable with your dreams.

Bonus description

I will present a Keynote address or hands-on, in-person workshop guiding your team to build their travel portfolios (including a schedule and budget). I'll show that when an organization’s culture encourages time off, employees are more likely to benefit from vacation time and those benefits last longer. Upon returning from vacation, employees who said their organization’s culture encourages time off were more likely to report having more motivation (71 percent) and were also more likely to say they are more productive (73 percent) and that their work quality is better (70 percent).
