Why I Can't Tell My Mom Where I'm Traveling To Until the very Last Minute

Why I Can’t Tell My Mom Where I’m Traveling To Until the very Last Minute

June 27, 2017

A happy mom means a happy traveler.

Does your mom (or other family members) do any of these?

A. Immediately gets worried when you mentioned your potential travel plans

B. Tells you which places you shouldn’t travel to this year because of what he/she sees on TV or hears on the radio

C. Asks you why you travel so much

D. All the above

If your answer is D, then you should understand this!

I’m never as anxious to travel any more than I am sharing my travel plans with my mom. My best friend and I are traveling (hopefully if we don’t change our minds) to London this Christmas but I haven’t mentioned this desire to my mom.

I love her and will tell her almost everything I’m doing, but she gets fearful when it comes to traveling. And, let’s not speak about traveling overseas.

I’m hesitant to tell her that London is on my 2017 bucket list with all these attacks happening in the UK. Her approval will most likely be non-existent. Yes, I know I am 28 years old, but I’m still her child. And, I would love to have her support for decisions I make.

It’s never easy wanting to do so many things and not have support from my family. Especially from the woman who raised me to be the strong woman I am today. But if I can keep her in the dark when it comes to my travel plans the better. Her anxiety makes me doubt my choices sometimes. Well, about 25% of the time.

Right now, I rather think about finalizing plans with my best friend first. Which we haven’t started yet.

Then, I can reveal what I am up to for the holiday break. The more concrete my plans, then the easier it will be to tell her.

What helps me get over the fear of telling my mom about my travel plans is giving her a detailed itinerary plan of what I’m doing.

I forward my flight information. Give her my hotel details. I also make sure I check in with her periodically throughout my trip just so that she knows I am safe and alive.

Isn’t that what all mothers worry about? That you’re fed, safe, and alive. If I can do all three, then a happy mom means a happy traveler.

I’m allowed to be young, wild, and free to wanderlust. And, reluctant to tell my own mother about my addictive travel behavior. She realizes, though, that she was once young too. So until I get the balls to tell her what my plans are, please keep it a secret. I don’t need to hear her worries until the very, very last minute. Like the night before my trip, eh?

Why I Can't Tell My Mom Where I'm Traveling To Until the Very Last Minute

What tips do you have for those family members who worry when you travel? Comment below.

Hey! I'm Adriana. I'm a city girl with a taste to explore the world while seeking to do good. Not too long ago, I left Miami behind for undergrad (Go Gators!) and departed the country for grad school (I ❤ Spain). And, I returned home looking forward to more adventures, stories, experiences, and social impact. Hence, the birth of Travepreneur.

  • What are your intentions this year?
⠀⠀
🛩 Travel More (or Less)
🤑 Build Your Travel Budget
💰 Get Your Finances In Order
🥰 Love Yourself & Practice a Self-Care Regimen
🗣 Go to Therapy
⠀⠀
You can’t wish for something to change or happen if you don’t work towards it.
⠀⠀
This year I have challenged myself to be more intentional with my time, space, and goals. Because in the past, I’ve procrastinated with my time, space and goals.
⠀⠀
“Oh I can wait until tomorrow.”
⠀⠀
“There’s no hurry. I’ll get to it soon.”
⠀⠀
That was my mentality.
⠀⠀
I told myself this year that I couldn’t afford to miss opportunities, delay progress or tasks because I wasn’t mentally ready to do so.
⠀⠀
For a week, I challenged myself to push pass old habits and build new ones.

The moment I thought, “I can do it later.”
⠀⠀
The devil’s advocate scolded me and reminded me “You can do it now.”
⠀⠀
I did it. And I felt better. I didn’t have that nagging feeling of “I need to do something,” an approaching deadline or a promise to book that flight. I didn’t have that anxiety that normally comes along with procrastination.

So ask yourself:
🎍So what are your intentions this year?
🎍How would you like your life, money, time, space to change as a result of these intentions?
🎍What causes you anxiety or keep you up at night?

Put me in a tropical location with some palm trees, sand, water and sun 🥰🥰 and you can’t tell me Nuthin!
⠀⠀
Maybe because I’m in my @kora.fitness gear.
⠀⠀
Maybe because I’m 10 lbs heavier but with the extra weight I feel healthy
⠀⠀
Or, maybe because tomorrow is #GivingTuesday and you can help give back to various charities when you make a purchase.

Funny thing about this picture is I actually dislike snow. (I ❤️ mountains though). When taking this photo, it was my first time seeing it and I was in awe. And at this moment, I didn’t know what I was getting into. Little did I know this travel thing would be lifelong. 👸🏽

  • How’s your relationship with money? ⠀⠀
🚫Are you so tight with money, you can’t enjoy the experience?
⚠️Are you willing to splurge a bit? Orrr
💚Do you believe the reason why money is green because it means GO?
⠀⠀
I realize that my relationship with money determines how relaxed I am about my spending habits, budgeting and experience.
⠀⠀
What would you say about your relationship with money and how it affects your experiences?

  • Where to next? ⠀⠀
I’m not just asking about your #travelgoals or plans.
⠀⠀
What’s your next step? ⠀⠀
Don’t forget moves also involve your life goals, your mental and emotional space and/or how you plan to improve your well-being.
⠀⠀
While I’m on to Ecuador in a couple days, my life consists of solidifying my authority, work, and knowledge in my role in international programs & as a #travelblogger
⠀⠀
So I ask again...where to next?
