P.T.O. Lifestyle: Embracing a life of purpose and joy

P.T.O. Lifestyle: Embracing a life of purpose and joy

You may recognize “P.T.O.” as Paid Time Off. However, at the P.T.O. Lifestyle it stands for Plan Travel Often, and it’s about much more than booking flights and itineraries. It’s a call to break free from routines, reconnect with what truly matters, and make daily space for joy. Tashi and Stacey, having embraced these principles, have created a lifestyle that fosters self-discovery, meaningful connections, and life-changing experiences.   

Through the P.T.O. Lifestyle pillars, you have the vision to move beyond the ordinary, embracing the beauty of life with intention. Whether that means booking a transformative trip or finding peace in a simple walk through the park, the P.T.O. Lifestyle encourages you to live each day as a new journey toward growth and joy.   

What Does It Mean to Live the P.T.O. Lifestyle?  

Living the P.T.O. Lifestyle isn’t just about “travel” in the traditional sense. It’s about expanding your horizons in big and small ways: exploring new places, trying unfamiliar things, and even seeking new perspectives in familiar environments. Here are 10 essential components to bring the P.T.O. Lifestyle into your everyday life:  

  1. Intention Setting – Start each day with a mindful intention, setting the stage for growth and positivity.  
  2. Curiosity-Driven Exploration – Try something new regularly, whether it’s a new activity, restaurant, or hobby.  
  3. Embracing Nature – Spend time outdoors to recharge and find peace, whether on a hike or a quick walk around the block.  
  4. Disconnect to Reconnect – Take intentional breaks from screens and distractions to focus on yourself and your loved ones.  
  5. Self-Care Rituals – Prioritize self-care routines that refresh your body and mind, such as meditation, journaling, or movement.
  6. Community Building – Build connections with others through shared experiences, whether locally or while traveling.
  7. Simplicity in joy – Find happiness in simple pleasures, such as enjoying a quiet coffee in the morning or watching the sunset. 
  8. Breaking Routine – Step outside your comfort zone regularly by doing something unexpected, even if it’s small.
  9. Mindful Sabbaticals – Take mini “sabbaticals” where you detach from daily routines, whether a weekend trip or simply a day of solitude.
  10. Personal Growth Through Reflection – Reflect on experiences and the lessons they offer to support your journey of growth.
