Welcome to Ducks on Board, your go-to source for travel inspiration and tips! This site is run by a trio of travel-enthusiasts, who also happen to be siblings. We’re Jeremy, Courtney and Misha from the beautiful city of St. Louis, Missouri.
Our journey into the world of travel began in our childhood, marked by annual road trips that took us to various corners of the United States. As we grew older, so did our appetite for travel.
In the early 2000s, we began upgrading our vacation experiences, transitioning from the family car to Marriott time share resorts. Then, the allure of the high seas beckoned, leading us to embark on our first cruise. We’ve dipped our toes into the world of all-inclusive resorts, relishing the convenience and luxury they offered. And then we discovered how enjoyable booking a vacation home could be, and we started doing staycation vacations in our home away from home.
These days, our preferred modes of travel includes cruising, indulging in the all-inclusive resort experience, and booking charming vacation homes. We’ve found our comfort-zone as upper mid-range travelers—we don’t always opt for the priciest options, but we certainly don’t compromise on the quality of our experiences.
Through our travels, we’ve discovered that the key to an unforgettable vacation lies in mindful choices. We believe in allocating resources where they matter the most. This enables us to travel with a perfect blend of luxury and practicality.
Great vacations rarely happen by accident. They require careful planning and mindful decision-making. Once you focus on the aspects of your vacation that bring you the most joy, you can invest in those things and put less time or money into the things that don’t matter as much. We’ve learned to strike a balance, ensuring that every dollar is spent on what truly enhances our experience.
Join us on Ducks on Board as we share our insights, recommendations, and stories from our adventures. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or planning your first getaway, we’re here to help you make the most of your travel experiences. Explore with us as we uncover the gems of various destinations and provide tips on how to curate your own dream vacations.
Thank you for being a part of our travel community!
