Greetings from Italy,

It's been a long summer over here in Vicenza, and I've got a few new posts on the blog for you to check out, but first:

For those of you who don't know, I am hosting a Group trip to Jordan in 2026. If you’ve ever dreamed of Petra, a night under Wadi Rum’s stars, or floating carefree in the Dead Sea, now’s your moment.

I've gotten a lot of questions about if it's safe right now, and word on the street is: Yes, it's safe. Flights are still going in and out of Amman.

Find out more about my Group Trip to Jordan here, I've got quite a few more spots on the tour, and I would love to see you there!

Payment plans exist to make this financially feasible for you. That's the one thing I love about group trips: if you plan well enough in advance, you can make it work.

Alright, let’s rewind to summer’s quirkiest travel moments: We've had quite an interesting summer, and I can't wait to share new Dolomite hiking guides, a trip to Düsseldorf for Ramen, and part of my series on Albania is up!

• ​An easy day hike in the Dolomites up Piz Sorega: breathtaking alpine views without breaking a sweat.
• ​48 hours in Düsseldorf: All for Little Tokyo: secret ramen spots, quirky cafés, and cultural gems you didn’t know exist.
• ​3‑day Tirana itinerary: vivid street art, buzzy cafés, and offbeat corners in a city that surprised me in the best way.

​

Now, forward to 2026: This Jordan trip is your planned, perfectly curated adventure. Think epic landscapes, cultural connections, and a small, supportive group of fellow women explorers.

Here’s the scoop:

• When: April 2026
• Who: Solo travelers (but with all the safety and support of a small group)
• What’s included: All logistics handled—just pack, show up, and get ready.

I’d love to share this experience with you.

What's next for me?

I'll be heading to Ireland for TBEX Letterkenny, this is where bloggers and content creators come together and network. I am excited because prior to the conference, I am hiking the Donegal Way!

Then I'll be heading off to Morocco for 12 days with GAdventures. Morocco has been on my list for so long. I am so excited about this!

What destination has been on your list for ages that you'd love to go to? Is it Jordan? because I know someone planning a group trip!

Let me know if you want more quirky summer reads, packing ideas, or just a chat about Jordan!

Here’s to the unexpected—and the well‑planned—adventures ahead,

Kimberly
