There’s a saying that our team holds dear, one that was a favorite of our beloved colleague, Debbie Taylor:
“Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.”
It’s simple, powerful, and profoundly true.
In a world where we’re constantly encouraged to accumulate more — more stuff, more status, more screen time — travel stands apart. It’s not about collecting things. It’s about collecting moments. It’s the only purchase that leaves you with more than what you started with: more perspective, more connection, more wonder, more joy.
At World Travel, we’ve seen firsthand how travel can transform people. It pushes you out of your comfort zone. It challenges your assumptions. It humbles you, delights you, and sometimes even heals you. Whether it’s a solo journey across the globe or a family vacation two states over, travel has a way of enriching the soul.
We’ve watched travelers return home with:
- Stories they’ll tell for a lifetime
- Friendships that span continents
- A renewed appreciation for home
- And an expanded sense of what’s possible
Debbie believed in this deeply. For her, travel wasn’t just a job, it was a calling. Each itinerary she crafted was a chance to share that richness with someone else. This is true for all of other advisors as well.
As we carry on her legacy, we hope to continue helping others discover that same magic, the kind that can’t be bought in a store or added to a cart. Only traveled. Only experienced.
So wherever your next journey takes you, may it leave you richer than you were before.
Because Debbie was right: travel doesn’t just take you places, it gives you something you carry forever.
In loving memory of Debbie Taylor.
