Turn Travel Dreams Into a Real Plan | EP. 215

Travel can feel exciting, meaningful, and completely overwhelming all at the same time.

In this episode of The New Money Habits Podcast, Nino Villa is joined by Bereket Kelile, New Money Habits’ trusted voice in future planning, to talk about how to turn a travel dream into a real plan. Together, they explore why travel goals often feel out of reach, how vague assumptions can make a trip feel more expensive or complicated than it really is, and why getting specific is usually the first step toward making progress.

Bereket shares stories from his work with clients, including one couple who assumed a Europe trip would be too expensive until the numbers became clearer, and another couple who only needed a simple deadline to finally take the next step toward a weekend getaway. Those stories point to a practical truth: when a goal stays vague, it is hard to act on it. But when you give it a destination, a timeline, and a next small step, the plan starts to take shape.

Nino and Bereket also talk about how travel planning connects to future planning more broadly. Whether the goal is years away or only a few months away, the process is similar: make the abstract concrete, gather real numbers, identify the next step, and build momentum from there.

If you have a trip you want to take but have not known where to begin, this conversation will help you move from “someday” to something clearer.
