A new year and a new adventure. 🥳

Hey Reader! It’s been one hell of a hot minute since we’ve connected! When I decided to stop writing the Indie Travel Dispatch, I truly didn’t imagine that it would be nearly a year before I’d be back. 🤯 I have no desire to rehash the chaos of 2023, so let’s just say it was a wild ride -- some of the hardest moments of my life mixed with some of the most incredible ones too. Now that the dust has (mostly) settled, I finally have space to think about what comes next. While travel will always...

Hey Reader! It’s the last day of February (my least favorite month), and I’m celebrating by getting ready to welcome Spring. This time of year always brings big changes in my world and this one is no exception. There’s a lot to share with you in this email, so it’s a bit longer than usual. I hope you’ll stick with me. Truth: Life is one grand exercise in letting go. Learning to let go starts when we’re small. Friends move away, our teachers change from year to year and, eventually, we have...

Hey Reader! Here we are. A new year and it’s time for new adventures! Are you ready to explore more this year? Join me on this adventure! 🧭 At the end of 2021, I knew life was going to be wild and that my travels were going to be changing. New experiences and exploration are essential for me, like air or water, so I set the intention to have 100 new experiences over the course of 2022. There were no hard and fast rules, it simply had to give me that little jolt of, “Ooh, this is new and...

Hey Reader! Wow, has it really only been two weeks since I wrote to you? It feels like two months with everything that’s been happening! I’m back in Washington for the holidays (Stan just arrived for Thanksgiving!) and I have a lot more clarity about where I’d like to take both life and business from here! TL;DR: I want to revamp this newsletter to make it more fun, helpful, and interesting for you. Share your feedback and opinions in this short survey! I’m going to pause these emails for the...

Hey Reader! I hope you’re having a wonderful day! I’m back in Utah, getting settled and figuring out wtf this new season of life is going to look like. That means I’m moving a little slower because I want to be intentional with how I move forward in both life and business. For the rest of this year, you’ll be getting the Indie Travel Dispatch every other week instead of weekly. Thanks in advance for understanding! In the meantime, you can browse the blog or start the travel planning course!...

Hey Reader! Happy Travel Tuesday! How is October over already?! I’m wrapping up my time in Toronto and savoring these last days. What’s something awesome that happened to you in October? I’d love to hear about it! Remember back in 2020 when the pandemic hit and we had to cancel all our travel plans? 😭 I know, none of us are likely to forget that. Ever. Besides all the uncertainty and health concerns, many of us also watched travel dreams slip away. Personally, I canceled nearly three months...

Hey Reader! I hope you're having an amazing day! Well, it's my birthday week, which is basically my personal new year.

I'd love to hear about them! Hit reply and tell me about it! This time last year Stan and I were...

Hey Reader! Happy Travel Tuesday from cool and rainy Toronto! On days like this, I just want to cozy up with a good novel, a sweet treat from my new favorite patisserie, and a steaming mug of tea. This moody weather also has me thinking about the different ways we find comfort and familiarity in new places… What helps you feel grounded when you travel? 🤔 Do you have any routines you create (or bring from home) when you travel? I’d love to hear about your experiences! Hit reply and tell me all...

Hey Reader! Greetings from the beautiful city of Toronto! Yesterday was the Thanksgiving holiday here and the most gorgeous fall day you can imagine! After time with family and lots of sleep, I have a few thoughts to share about this slower travel experience I’m living. 😊 What’s your typical pace of travel? Are you more of a slow traveler or do you like to be on the go? I’d love to know! Hit reply and tell me all about it! Slow has never really been my thing when it comes to travel. 🤷♀️ My...

Hey Reader! Wow, here we are. Autumn is upon us and it’s time for a change of pace. This is my absolute favorite time of year and I’m welcoming it with open arms after the crazy summer I’ve had! 🍂 What about you? How are you feeling about the arrival of fall? This change of season is bringing big life changes over here! 💚 Change is inevitable. We know this. The more we can roll with it, the easier it is to find our way forward. When one thing changes (or a whole bunch at once!) that can mean...
