Gabbie's Secret on How to Balance Work Days & Wanderlust
Between meetings, and quick weekend getaways, Gabbie proves that adventure doesn’t have to wait for your next out-of-office email. Confidence is the real carry-on and Wink’s laser hair removal is her go-to for keeping it light, effortless, and adventure-ready.
Tell us more about you, what does a regular day look like when you’re not traveling?
I work on weekdays and we have a hybrid setup. As much as possible, I try to balance it with sports and spending quality time with loved ones.
How do you plan your trips around your work schedule?
I make sure there aren’t any important events or campaigns so I can fully relax and enjoy my trip. I also make sure I feel and look my best before leaving!
What does adventure mean to you when you’re working a 9–5?
For me, being happy is being busy — trying out new things and not just sticking to routine or what’s comfortable. I even have a checklist of different sports to try with my friends! So far, I’ve done Lagree and Muay Thai, and I’m hoping to try Hyrox next.
What’s your secret to staying productive before or after a trip?
I like finishing everything I need to do before I leave so I can actually enjoy my break without worrying about work. Getting Wink’s laser hair removal before any trip also helps as it saves me time and energy because I don’t have to think about unwanted hair, so I can focus on getting things done and just enjoy the trip after.
What destinations have been your best work break escapes?
Definitely anywhere by the beach, but my top picks would be Cebu and Siargao. I love both the people and the vibe! it always feels like home, even if it isn’t.
How does Wink’s laser hair removal fit into your transition from desk to destination?
It helps me feel fresh and ready for anything, especially since I do sports before or after work. It’s one less thing to think about, and it keeps me confident knowing all my outfit choices are covered too!
