HeyReader This past week, I did something I had been wanting to do for a long time. To be honest, I am in a bit of a panic with our move to Belgium looming over us (SURPRISE!) I feel like I need to do as much as possible before we move from Italy to Belgium; it's the usual panic that ensues: " Did I see everything?...

I love having you here, and if you ever want to unsubscribe, I completely understand. Hi Reader Most people have heard of the Camino de Santiago. Far fewer have heard of the Via Francigena — and I think that needs to change. The Via Francigena is one of Europe's oldest pilgrimage routes, which Archbishop Sigeric of Canterbury walked in 990 AD on...

I love having you here, and if you ever want to unsubscribe, I completely understand. Hi, Reader You read that right! I want to eat fermented shark with you while the Northern Lights dance overhead (this was an oddly specific experience I had in Iceland, lol) Iceland was my first solo trip abroad, and I am ready to go back! But this time, I don’t...

You are receiving these emails from me because you signed up for a freebie on my website or Instagram, or you joined through the creator network. I love having you be a part of the community, but you're always free to unsubscribe anytime you like. Hello Reader, I’ve been sitting on this for a while. After everything that happened with my last group trip attempt, I took a step back. Not because I don’t believe in hosting trips, but because I realized I want to do it better. More intentional....

You can easily opt out at the bottom. Hi friends, I’ve been meaning to get my monthly newsletter out, but it’s been a little chaotic over here. As much as I’d love to be writing about recent travels and sending you my travel favorites, I want to give you a real update on my upcoming Jordan group trip. This one...

February 2nd, 2026 Hi Reader I am so excited to announce that I’ve officially launched a new round of group trips to Portugal, Iceland, Jordan, and the Dolomites. These are places I’ve personally traveled to and deeply loved, and I designed these trips for people who want meaningful experiences without the stress of planning. If traveling with a small group sounds like something you’ve been craving, I’d love for you to take a look. See the trips below and join me in 2026 and 2027 Group Trips...

Hi friends, Happy January! I was recently a guest on my friend FuseTravels YouTube Channel, where we talked candidly about solo hiking in Europe — how I got started, what keeps me safe, and why doing things alone has shaped how I travel (and live). Fuse is your resident expert in all things Italy, and I want to introduce you to her and her platform, give her a like and a follow! If you’ve ever been curious about solo hiking, traveling independently, or building confidence on your own terms,...

Hi friends, We made it to the last day of the year! I’ve been doing something I do every December: reading a letter I wrote to my future self. Did you know you could write a letter to your future self? It's through a website called FutureMe Last year’s letter absolutely wrecked me—in the best way. At the time, we were standing on the edge of so much uncertainty. We thought retirement was coming. We didn’t know what life would look like next. And while some of those plans didn’t unfold the way...

Hey Reader I’ve got some big news to share and honestly, I’m still riding the wave of excitement. My April 2026 Jordan group trip is officially SOLD OUT. Excited Schitts Creek GIF by CBC Thirteen incredible women are joining me on this adventure, and I couldn’t be more grateful or more energized for what’s ahead. Seeing this kind of enthusiasm for meaningful, community-driven travel has reaffirmed exactly why I wanted to host group trips in the first place. And because so many of you reached...

Hey Reader This isn’t your typical Black Friday email no flash sales, no promo codes, and definitely no Amazon wishlists. When I think about what I’m most grateful for, it’s not the gear I’ve packed or the souvenirs I’ve brought home. It’s the experiences — the people met along trails, the laughter in tiny cafés, the way travel makes the world feel smaller and kinder. So this Thanksgiving, I want to challenge you to gift experiences, not things. Take a friend hiking. Plan that long-overdue...
