As this year comes to a close, we pause with full hearts and deep gratitude.

At Sojourney Travel by Jessica Coen, every trip booked this year represented far more than flights, resorts, or itineraries. Each journey carried a story. A hope. A moment someone had been waiting for—sometimes for years.

The Coen Compass exists as the storytelling and reflection space of our travel brand, a place to slow down and name what matters. And what matters most right now is gratitude. Gratitude for every client who trusted us with their time away. Gratitude for every message that began with, “I’m not sure where to start.” Gratitude for every family, couple, and traveler who allowed us to help shape memories they will carry long after the suitcases are unpacked.

Travel Built on Trust:

This year reminded us that booking travel is, at its core, an act of trust. Trust that details will be handled. Trust that someone is thinking three steps ahead (sometimes four). Trust that your trip matters as much to us as it does to you.

From milestone celebrations to long-overdue rest, from first-time travelers to seasoned explorers, we were honored to walk alongside our clients in each season. No two trips were the same—but each one mattered. That trust is not something we rush past. It’s something we steward carefully.

Looking Ahead to 2026

As we look toward 2026, the journey feels wide open. We see a year filled with more meaningful conversations, more intentional planning, and more travelers choosing experiences that align with their values and season of life. We see families prioritizing time together, couples reclaiming margin, and individuals finally saying yes to the trip they’ve been putting off.

2026 isn’t just about booking more travel—though we fully anticipate serving more clients and planning more incredible journeys. It’s about continuing to help people travel well.

With confidence.

With clarity.

With peace of mind.

It’s about guiding, advocating, and walking alongside our clients before, during, and after their trips—so they can focus on being present where they are.

Five Travel Experiences We’re Excited to Plan in 2026

If the year ahead is calling your name, here are just a few of the journeys we’re most excited to help clients plan next year:

Romantic All-Inclusive Escapes

Perfect for honeymoons, anniversaries, or much-needed reconnection—think adults-only resorts, oceanfront rooms, and everything handled from start to finish.

European City & Culture Adventures

Iconic cities, rich history, walkable streets, and unforgettable meals—ideal for couples, milestone birthdays, or travelers ready to slow down and soak it all in.

Multi-Generational Family Trips

Carefully planned vacations where grandparents, parents, and kids can all enjoy the experience—balancing relaxation, activities, and meaningful time together.

River Cruises & Guided Tours

A seamless way to see multiple destinations without constantly repacking—perfect for travelers who want depth, comfort, and expert guidance.

Bucket-List Island Getaways

Whether tropical, remote, or simply breathtaking, these are the trips people talk about for years—the kind that finally move from dream to done.
