For Donald Steplight, manager of change and employee experience, travel is one of those anchors. Donald has a long bucket list. Sparked by his love of history, he recharges by exploring new places, learning local history and tasting foods he cannot find at home. Whether he is walking past ancient ruins, standing in a bustling market or people-watching at a café, those moments help him reset. “Experiencing where I am and enjoying the moment gives me peace of mind,” he said. “It allows me to take a break from the normal and focus on what counts.” A world traveler with deep family roots He takes time off from work to travel both locally and abroad. Two of his favorite trips so far have been to Rio and Rome, and his next big adventure is a long-awaited visit to Tokyo. But some of his most meaningful journeys take him back home. As the youngest of seven siblings, he is a proud uncle to 13 nieces and nephews. Most of his family lives up north, so travel is how he stays close. “There’s nothing like being at home and spending time with family,” he said Stretching each dollar with the Discount Marketplace On a recent trip to Spain, Donald ran into the kind of surprise most travelers dread. His hotel reservation was canceled at the last minute. Instead of panicking, he turned to a resource he knew he could trust. Through BenefitHub’s Discount Marketplace, he quickly searched for a new hotel and found a last-minute deal that saved him 30% on his stay. Since then, he has used the marketplace to find ticket discounts, excursions and city passes for almost half the usual price. He likes how simple it is to compare options. With just a few clicks, he can look at ratings, see the final cost and choose what works best for his budget. “Whenever you go overseas, no matter if it’s 10, 20 or 30% off, every dollar counts,” he said. “I love that these discounts are for everyone. No matter your role in the organization, you have the opportunity to use these financial benefits.” Choosing joy in everyday moments Donald says travel has taught him never to hesitate to do the things you love. Whether he is planning his next trip, going for a run or taking photos, he keeps his focus on moments that bring him happiness. “A lot of people say they’re going to travel later, or they put things off, but there’s no better time than the present,” he said. “Do the things that bring joy to your mind, body and soul.” benefitswork-life balancetravel Author AUTHOR Baylor Scott & White Health You also may like Category Our Team Members Posted date 02/18/2026 Meet Heather Worsham Finding her voice again: Heather Worsham on healing through karaoke Author Baylor Scott & White Health Category Our Team Members Posted date 02/03/2026 Meet Aja Gibson Leading change through quiet impact Author Baylor Scott & White Health Category Our Team Members Posted date 01/14/2026 Meet Sajni Dancing and data: Inside revenue integrity Author Baylor Scott & White Health Category Our Team Members Posted date 09/30/2025 Beyond Baylor Scott & White Living our Mission: Volunteers in Medicine serve together in Honduras Author Baylor Scott & White Health
