Let’s Talk Flights—Because Booking Doesn’t Have to Be a Headache

Hey Reader Let’s talk about one of the most stressful parts of planning a trip: booking your flight. I know, I know. Just thinking about it probably makes your brain do cartwheels. Are we trying to save money by flying midweek or stretching vacation days with a weekend departure? Do we want to splurge on a flexible fare just in case something comes up? Is it worth it to book now… or will prices drop next week? Been there. Done that. Almost booked a $700 flight I swore was $480 the day before....

Thinking About Jordan 2026? Let’s Make It Happen

JORDAN GROUP TRIP Your Spot for Jordan 2026 Is Waiting! Hey Reader Jordan is one of those places that stays with you long after you leave. That’s why I’m leading a women’s-only small group trip to Jordan in April 2026 — to go back and share this experience with you. I traveled there myself on a group trip, and what I found was a country filled with culture, history, and some of the kindest people I’ve ever met. And yes, I felt 100% safe — not just because I was in a group, but because the...

Wadi You Waiting For? My April 2026 Jordan Trip Is Open!

Hey Reader I’ll be honest—Jordan moved me in ways I didn’t expect. Yes, the landscapes are stunning. The sandstone city of Petra will take your breath away, and the vast silence of the Wadi Rum desert will stay with you forever. But what really touched me was the people. The way strangers welcomed me like family. The way a cup of tea was always offered with a story. The quiet pride in tradition, and the effortless generosity I felt every step of the way. As a solo female traveler, I felt...

Let’s plan your next adventure—without the stress +new blog posts

Kimberly Kephart Travels March 31st, 2025 Hey Reader At the end of this week, I'll be headed to a country I have never been to on a group trip with G Adventures, and I’m so excited! It's been a long time since I have been this excited about a place. I was practically in tears when my husband gifted me this trip for my birthday. I didn't expect this at all, considering it's our final countdown to retirement and we are in that final push to save money for life after the Military. I'll give you...

I went to the coolest cooking experience in Northern Italy!

Supporting Local While Living Abroad A Cooking Experience I HAVE to share with you @Reader Just a quick update—I’ve switched to a new platform for newsletters, so things might look a little different around here! In the spirit of supporting local businesses, I wanted to share an article I recently wrote that was just published by Stars and Stripes (exciting!) I’ve been volunteering at a local restaurant lately, helping with their social media and building a collection of photos they can use....
