We are in the middle of a pandemic and it is a difficult time for us all but for our health, and the heath and safety of others, we are staying home and practicing social distancing. For all of the wander-luster's out there, it may be extra hard to wait patiently until the world opens up again.

This is why, with the help of some amazing suppliers, I am giving you the opportunity to continue to dream of all the places you want to go. To let your mind wander to the many possibilities that await you when the world is opened back up, but most importantly when you feel safe to travel again.

The following events will allow you to keep dreaming by expanding your knowledge on destinations, taking a virtual tour or even enjoying a wine tasting class. If you register please be sure to add TravelOnly as the Travel Agency and Ombi Travel as your Travel Advisor/Agent.
