I have these two crazy ideas that keep coming back to me. I don’t know when or if I’ll ever do them. But today I decided to write them down because maybe one day I’ll look back at this post and think, okay, it’s time. π
Idea 1: A boutique travel agency with a full refund guarantee!!!
I used to be a tour guide and I really have to flex here: I got hundreds of five-star reviews. Never a four. Not once. I still keep the notebooks with these reviews π
And I keep thinking:
what if I built something around that? A small, boutique travel agency where the promise is simple: if your overall experience was not what it should be, you get your money back. Full refund.
I know, I know. It sounds risky and crazy. It IS risky and crazy! Hahaha. But working in travel industry, I know a trip is not just a trip. For a lot of people, it’s something they saved for, planned for, dreamed about. A honeymoon. A family holiday that everyone kept pushing back. A solo trip someone finally took for themselves. These moments matter sooooo much, and I want to build a team who really feels that β not just people who do the job, but people who understand what’s at stake when someone trusts you with their holidays!
Five stars, always. It will be expensive, but I want top-notch services for my clients.
I remember staying with clients until midnight sometimes, just because they were so into the acoustic music that I couldn’t bring myself to say “okay, time to go.” Or organizing some spontaneous little treat that made my team roll their eyes β again! β but that made the clients light up. That’s the kind of thing I lived for and that’s the standard I want for this.
One day… and five stars, always. π
Idea 2: A healthy café where the gluten-free cake is just⦠cake
Okayyy this one is so close to my heart β€
I want to open a cafΓ©. Healthy food, great coffee, beautiful ice cream, and cakes that make you happy. And here’s the part I am most excited about β the gluten-free options will be soooo good that you won’t be able to tell they’re gluten-free. Because we actually figured out how to do it… GREAT!
I’ve always believed that eating well and eating deliciously are not opposites. That’s the whole idea. No “healthy but⦔. Salads should be beautiful and fun to eat. Cakes should be real treats without regrets. I want food that’s good for you and makes you want to come back.
Additionally, many people I care about are suffering from not being able to find good gluten-free options. So, I am going to be that solution hehehe
Sometimes I think if I had aaaaalllll the money in the world, I would pack my bag and go to the best cooking school and become a chef. Really! Yes!
So, this one lives in my head rent-free. :))
Maybe these two stay as dreams. Maybe not. Either way, I wanted to write them down β for myself, and for whoever’s reading this thinking, hm, I have a wild idea too.
Write it down. You never know.
