Vrbo on Ologies with Alie Ward

And thank you so much to Vrbo for sponsoring today's episode. Vrbo has really been inspiring me to take more trips with friends. I mentioned this on a previous episode, but my girlfriend was having a birthday. She's a big birdwatcher. I found the perfect spot to birdwatch. And seeing all these great places to gather and kind of share a vacation has really changed the way I look at having time off. It's not something that you earn siloed to go take pictures of somewhere nice. It's something that you can share with people you love. And that's really what we remember is gathering those people in your life that you don't get to see face to face as much or you don't get to see in a new environment. And it's not so much just about what you're doing. It's what you talk about and share. And that's what makes group trips so memorable. We tend to be more present. We're more open and have those conversations that matter more instead of just a quick catch up over a dinner every few months. We work too hard, and this notion that we're all saving up money to go have our own individual vacations when really getting to hang out with the people that you love is why we work in the first place. And Vrbo is designed for that kind of shared experience. You have a whole space to gather, whether that's over meals or late night conversations or just hanging out. They take a lot of the friction out of planning those trips. They focus on just getting everything right ahead of time. And if something unexpected happens, VrboCare and 24-7 support are there to step in. So you can stay in the moment, which is what it's all about. So you can plan your next trip on the Vrbo app. I have.
