Many of us have been stuck at home for over a year now, and even those who have managed to get away have been quite limited. But with a glimmer of hope on the horizon, we can finally think about traveling again.
With that in mind, I’m invited my readers to share their travel planning advice in this edition of the Productivity & Organizing Blog Carnival.
The sponsor for this month is Margarita Ibbott of DownshiftingPRO, a Superstar Blogger I first met at a POC Conference over 10 years ago. Since then she has transitioned to become a lifestyle and travel blogger. I’m pretty much of a homebody, so I truly enjoy reading about and seeing pictures of the wonderful places she visits.
As you read the posts, please take a moment to share your favorites and/or this one with your network, using the hashtag #POBC.

So happy to sponsor this post. My perfect world organizing + travel. Does it get any better than that? As always some great advice from all of these great professional organizers.
Thank you so much for suggesting this great topic, for sponsoring, and contributing your own tips. You are appreciated!
Loving the idea of even thinking about travel! So much great information. I’m pinning on my Travel Organizing board and will enjoy visiting these posts. Thanks for including me!
I’m so excited to go away! This is really bringing me joy right now. Thanks for including my post in this collection.
I think so many of us are off “at” the NAPO2021 virtual conference that it might take a day or two for everyone to realize this post is already up. I love how this helps us look forward, and I’m really eager to have the hope of traveling again. Margarita, thank you for sponsoring, and Janet, as always, thank you for all you do to support our industry.
Oh, and Margarita, I am ALL ABOUT the packing cubes! I just renewed my AARP membership solely because the free gift was a set up interestingly-sized cubes for some of my odder items.
I’m just loving the response to this post, both here and on social media. I was worried that it might upset people who still can’t travel, but it seems to have brought a ray of hope for the future, and I’m so thankful for that.
