TRAVEL TIP FOR STAYING HEALTHY
DruckAnytime you travel four or more hours whether it be by car, train or plane, you increase your chance of developing a DVT or blood clot, which can become life threatening.  The Center for Disease Control and Prevention states that more than 900,000 Americas are affected by DVTS annually. INSIGNIA by SIGVARIS offers fashionable compression solutions that reduce leg swelling, helps prevent varicose veins and blood clots and allows you to arrive at your destination with more energy thanks to improved blood flow. So even if you’re not traveling, wearing compression socks can help improve your overall health and well-being. For DVT Awareness Month, all socks and hosiery are up to 20% off at insigniastyle.com

UNIQUE TRAVEL TIP THAT WILL SAVE ME SOME MONEY
turo_logo_detailI have a suggestion that can save you money or it may even make you money.  It’s called TURO; a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace where travelers can rent the perfect car, wherever they want it, from a community of local car owners. Cars on Turo are on average 35% less than traditional car rental agencies. Many owners will deliver their car to the closest airport or, as a renter, you can pick up a car closer to where you're staying. TURO travelers get to completely customize their car rental experience, with over 800+ makes and models in nearly 5,000 cities. You can rent anything you want from a VW Bus to a McLaren. If you’re looking to make money, try listing your vehicle. On average, owners make $600 a month, and very active owners can make upwards of $3,000 a month. It’s a great way to earn money for your next vacation. For more information, visit www.turo.com
 
FIND THE VACATION OF YOUR DREAMS
