TOP STORY: 2024, you’ve been BIG in lots of ways

On January 4th 2024, I sent out my very first newsletter.

It was to 71 people, and I loved it.

From there, I took classes, consumed every newsletter I could, did a deep dive with a mentor, listened to podcasts, tweaked my template, you name it. I drank from a firehose (still am).

All in the name of creating something of value to support anyone who wants to travel.

Because once when I was 20, I was lucky enough to travel to a small town in Guatemala…and that changed everything.

Thank you, for being a reader. For every time you’ve clicked to open the newsletter, emailed me questions, comments, used a referral link, worked with me to curate your dream trip. Thank you for supporting me, it’s created an incredibly exceptional experience for me.

And while I’m not leaving you in 2024 with a specific lesson on points + miles this week- (we’ll get back to that next week) -

— I am holding space for you to be brave in 2025…

… to book the trip. Because travel makes life slow down, colors the trees in a different shade, indulges your tastebuds in newness.

Do it solo, do it with loved ones- regardless, do it to stretch you out of your comfort zone, because that stretch is where the magic lies. And the magic is where life begins.

Everyone deserves to travel. And if you think it’s impossible, reply, maybe you just need someone on your team to help you figure it out differently.
