When Edith Lemay and Sebastien Pelletier learned that three of their four children had a rare, untreatable genetic condition that causes vision loss, they experienced the stages of grief — denial, anger and sadness. When they reached acceptance, they decided to enjoy life. For them, this involves traveling the world and giving their children the chance to create “visual memories.”

You can’t read or watch the news at the moment without hearing horror stories about airport stress. In so many cases, the criticism from frustrated travelers looking forward to their first business trip, vacation, or family reunion in some time is completely justified. While it’s been disappointing to read how some governments have blamed the airlines for the current operational challenges, ultimately, today’s traveler has bought their ticket in good faith and wants to get away as seamlessly as possible.

So far this year I have traveled about once a month, some for work, and others for holidays, and I have of course noticed the difference not just in the logistics

Traveling alone as a woman can be scary, but it is also incredibly empowering, according to those who have dared to do it. Express.co.uk spoke to two women, Maria Riesco and Jess Bevan, who decided to travel solo this year, for different reasons. For both of them, it was one of the best things they’d ever done.

After breaking up with her boyfriend at the start of the year, Maria decided to try something she’d never done before: travel solo.

She opted for a trip to Sri Lanka through WeRoad, an organization that groups strangers together to go traveling.

Maria told Express.co.uk: “My life changed a lot this year – I decided to make a career move and not long after my long-term boyfriend broke up with me.

Viewing insider transactions for Travel + Leisure Co.’s (NYSE:TNL ) over the last year, we see that insiders were net sellers. This means that a larger number of shares were sold by insiders in relation to shares purchased.

While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares.

Travel + Leisure Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider sale was by the Independent Director, George Herrera, for US$128k worth of shares, at about US$58.50 per share.
