About Dr. Deborah Wheeler, PhD, MBA

Welcome to The Ideal Trip! 

The Ideal Trip is a compilation of my life and experiences. For the last 30 years I have pursued my passion for travel and writing. I have traveled around the world and I have written about those travels for many publications. This site includes my top travel tips, recommendations, and best destinations in the world. I also share information about the psychology of travel and improving relationships through travel. 

The Ideal Trip will help you find the best places to visit, blend in like a local at your destination, find a recommended restaurant, activity, or hotel, travel affordably, get valuable advice, find honest opinions, and have fun traveling with all the important people in your life. You can search for your ideal trip by Destination or Relationship. Find the perfect trip for a couple's escape, girlfriends' getaway, guys' weekend, or trip with the kids. 

As a traveler, writer, editor, columnist, clinical psychologist, coach, mentor, educator, trainer, and business leader, I have traveled extensively around the world and learned a thing or two about relationships and "traveling right" that I want to share with you. And I hope you will share your best travel experiences with me.  I am always open to your suggestions for the website and submission of travel articles. Please feel free to contact me any time with your comments, suggestions, and travel experiences at theidealtrip@gmail.com.

I hope you enjoy the site and I know The Ideal Trip will help you plan your next ideal getaway.

Happy Travels!

Dr. Deborah Wheeler, PhD, MBA
