Hey there, Reader!

Real talk — it's been a minute since we've caught up, and I keep wondering...

I'm here in Mauritius (yes, still pinching myself that this is my life - well, for now anyways! More on that later...), and I can't stop planning trips — for myself, for clients, for anyone who'll let me. It's just who I am. So naturally, I'm thinking about you and wondering what's on your list.

Coincidentally, today's my baby's birthday, and it's got me feeling extra sentimental about travel. Last year around this time, we were celebrating a graduation with some sun and fun in the Indian Ocean and a safari in South Africa — watching giraffes wander by at sunset while toasting to what's next. We also took a day trip in Cape Town with Brody the dog as our sidekick in the sidecar! That's the kind of memory I want everyone to have. Life's too short not to be planning the next one!!

Today there is a fancy name for this style of travel - a "why-cation".

What's your why?

Is it to celebrate? To recharge? To discover your heritage? Maybe for you it's that trip you've been "meaning to book" for two years now. Maybe it's something totally new you haven't said out loud yet. Doesn't matter — I want to hear it.

Just hit reply and tell me. A destination, a vibe, a "I have no idea but I need a vacation" — anything. I'll take it from there and handle the rest, like always.

Can't wait to hear what you're dreaming about!
