“There’s something for everyone on BMLA’s 10 Year Anniversary trip to Malawi and Ethiopia! 

Beyond the legal and business programming, we’re building out experiences for friends, family and non lawyers too, including spa days, cultural immersion, safaris, social events and plenty of time to experience both countries.

As a travel advisor of over 3 years and having visited nearly 70 countries, I’m excited to help bring this experience to life and can’t wait to welcome everyone to Africa!”

“One of the reasons I love spending time in Africa has very little to do with work. It’s the opportunity to connect, give back and hopefully leave a place a little better than we found it.

That’s an important part of what we’re building into this trip. In Malawi, for example, we’ll spend time at a local school, meet the students and create an experience that I hope stays with them long after we leave.

And you don’t have to be a lawyer to be part of it. We’re building a trip where friends and family can experience the culture, adventure, community and fellowship right alongside us.

That, to me, is what makes traveling to Africa special.”

MILWAUKEE TRAVEL HACK! ✈️ ➡️ 🚊

Waited until the last minute to book your flight to BTS and now those Milwaukee flight prices are looking at you CRAZY?! 👀👀

Fly into Chicago and get on the train! 

Chicago gives you another option for getting to Milwaukee, and from downtown Chicago you can hop on the Amtrak Hiawatha and be in Milwaukee in about 90 minutes.

Yep, Chicago to Milwaukee by TRAIN. 🚊 

So before you let an expensive flight convince you that you can’t make it to the Renaissance, check flights into O’Hare (ORD) or Midway (MDW), and see if the Chicago route works better for you.

Consider it your BTS travel cheat.

Ten years. Two countries. One unforgettable journey. 🌍

The Black Men Lawyers’ Association @bmlaorg is marking a decade with something bigger than a banquet — a delegation to Malawi and Ethiopia in March 2027.

A private masquerade ball. Golf inside a game park. Business sessions with legal counterparts across the continent. A day giving back at a primary school in Zomba. And the birthplace of civilization itself.

Join us for an info session with our travel advisor, Samya Abdela of Stampedd, where we’ll walk through the full itinerary and answer every question.

TRAVEL AGENT THURSDAY EP. 8

When I plan a trip for a client, I plan it the same way I’d plan it for myself.

That means I’m constantly asking:
✈️ Is there a better flight for less?
🏨 Is this hotel actually worth the price?
📍 Are there hidden gems that most tourists miss?
🍽️ Where are the local restaurants instead of the overpriced tourist traps?
💰 How can we get the best experience without spending more than we need to?

My goal isn’t just to book a trip—it’s to make sure every dollar is working toward an unforgettable experience.

That’s also why I offer complimentary consultation calls. Whether you decide to work with me or not, I genuinely want you to leave the conversation with helpful information, a clearer understanding of your options, and tips that make planning your trip easier.

If we end up working together, amazing. If not, I hope our conversation still helps you travel smarter.

At the end of the day, I believe travel planning should feel collaborative, transparent, and tailored to your priorities—not a one-size-fits-all itinerary.

TRAVEL AGENT TUESDAY EP. 7 

Most people think a travel agent’s job is just booking flights and hotels.

For me, it starts long before that.

I’ve now been to 69 countries, so more often than not, I’m planning trips to places I’ve actually experienced myself. That means I can recommend the neighborhoods I’d stay in again, the experiences that are genuinely worth the money, and the things I’d skip altogether.

But what really sets me apart isn’t just the passport stamps.

✨ I take the time to understand how you like to travel—not just where you want to go.
✨ I build itineraries around meaningful experiences, local culture, and hidden gems instead of checking off tourist attractions.
✨ I know how to balance unforgettable moments with a realistic budget, so you get the most value from your trip.
✨ And because I’m a traveler first, I’m always thinking about the little details that make a trip feel seamless, not stressful.

When you book with me, you’re not getting a reservation service. You’re getting someone who’s spent years exploring the world, learning what makes a trip unforgettable, and using that experience to help you create your own.

That’s the difference. 🌍✈️ by @bestampedd

TRAVEL AGENT TUESDAY EP. 6

One of the hardest parts of being a travel advisor is helping clients match their dream trip with a realistic budget.

A recent client wanted to stay in an overwater bungalow—but after pricing it out, their entire trip budget would have covered just one night. 😅

Overwater bungalows are incredible, but they’re also one of the most expensive hotel experiences in the world. In destinations like the Maldives or Bora Bora, it’s not unusual for rates to start around $800–$1,500+ per night, with luxury resorts costing several thousand dollars per night.

Here are a few ways to make the dream more attainable:
✨ Use hotel points or credit card rewards. This is one of the best ways to experience an overwater bungalow without paying the full cash rate.
✨ Split your stay. Spend 2–3 nights in an overwater bungalow and the rest in a beach villa or standard room.
✨ Consider more affordable destinations. Some of the best-value overwater bungalows can be found in:
📍 Malaysia
📍 Indonesia
📍 Belize
📍 Panama
📍 The Philippines

The goal isn’t to say “no” to your dream vacation—it’s to find the smartest way to make it happen without blowing your entire travel budget.

That’s why I always start by understanding my clients’ priorities and building an itinerary that gives them the most value for their budget.

TRAVEL AGENT TUESDAY EP. 5

Finding a cheap flight is only half the equation.

I see this all the time: someone scores a $400 flight and assumes they’ve planned a budget-friendly vacation… only to realize the hotels are $700+ per night.

Your accommodations are often the biggest expense of your trip, and they’re what can turn a $4,000 vacation into a $10,000+ vacation.

Here are a few ways to keep your lodging costs in check:
🏨 Stay just outside the main tourist area (often a 10–20 minute ride can save hundreds per night).
📅 Travel during shoulder season when hotel rates drop significantly.
👯 Split larger villas or vacation rentals with friends or family.
⭐ Decide what matters most—is a luxury resort worth it, or would you rather spend that money on experiences?
🎁 Look for perks like complimentary breakfast, resort credits, or free airport transfers that add value beyond the nightly rate.

The biggest mistake I see? People budgeting for the flight but not researching hotel prices before choosing a destination.

As a travel advisor, I always price out the entire trip—not just the airfare—so my clients know what to expect before they book.

TRAVEL AGENT TUESDAY EP. 4 

The best time to visit a destination isn’t always when everyone else is going.

Traveling during shoulder season (the weeks just before or after peak season) can mean cheaper flights, lower hotel rates, fewer crowds, shorter lines, and an overall better experience.

Here are a few examples:
☀️ Greece: Skip July & August. Visit in May, early June, or September.
🌸 Japan: Instead of cherry blossom season, consider late May or November.
🏖️ Bali: Trade the busy summer months for May, June, or September.
🇮🇹 Italy: Avoid August when prices soar and many locals go on holiday. Try April, May, late September, or October instead.
🌴 Caribbean: Early December or late April/May often offers great weather with fewer crowds than winter peak season.

There are exceptions—some destinations are absolutely worth visiting during high season because of festivals, wildlife migrations, or unique seasonal experiences. But if your priority is stretching your budget and avoiding the crowds, timing your trip can make just as much of a difference as choosing the destination itself.

That’s exactly what I help my clients figure out. ✈️

TRAVEL AGENT TUESDAYS EP. 3 

Planning your first trip to Greece? These are the 3 destinations I recommend most often on my travel agency calls: Athens for the history and culture, Mykonos for the beaches and nightlife, and Santorini for those iconic views and unforgettable sunsets. 🇬🇷 Which one is at the top of your Greece bucket list?

🇬🇷 Mykonos – Beach clubs, nightlife, luxury hotels, and social scene.
🇬🇷 Santorini – Caldera views, sunsets, romance, honeymoons, and wine tasting.
🇬🇷 Crete – Best all-around island; beaches, history, hiking, food, and longer trips.
🇬🇷 Naxos – Beautiful beaches, authentic villages, great food, and fewer crowds.
🇬🇷 Paros – A mix of Mykonos and Naxos; charming towns, beaches, and nightlife without being overly busy.
🇬🇷 Milos – Unique volcanic landscapes, dramatic coastlines, and boat trips.
🇬🇷 Rhodes – Medieval history, beaches, and family-friendly resorts.
🇬🇷 Corfu – Lush green scenery, Venetian architecture, and beautiful coves.
🇬🇷 Zakynthos – Shipwreck Beach, turquoise water, and scenic boat tours.
🇬🇷 Kefalonia – Dramatic landscapes, caves, and a more relaxed atmosphere.
🇬🇷 Ios – Budget-friendly nightlife and younger crowds.
🇬🇷 Skiathos – Some of Greece’s best sandy beaches and easy island hopping.
🇬🇷 Hydra – No cars, charming harbor, and a peaceful escape near Athens.

❓So where would you want to go in Greece?
