5 quick things

Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader!

We all spend too much time on email, so I wanted to give you something that's easy to read and a good use of your time. Ready?

  • You might think fuel prices are causing people to rethink their travel plans - and domestically, that's true. But international travel is not slowing down: 44% of Americans are planning trips - up from 41% last year.
  • I've been hard at work finalizing client trips this week, and I am loving every single itinerary. I'm SO excited for my clients to enjoy some incredible experiences this summer - things like hiking the Swiss Alps, going on safari in Tanzania, and boating along the Croatian coast!!
  • I'm heading to London next week - I'll be posting stories on Instagram @windward.path if you want to follow along!
  • If I could only give you one piece of travel advice, it's that the best trips are planned with YOUR interests, style, and comfort in mind. That's why having an expert curate your trip is so powerful.
  • We are halfway through the year (!) and I have several trips in the next few months: London, Orcas Island, and Mexico. But I have nothing planned after September - where should I go next??

Hope you enjoy this beautiful weekend!

I worked hard for that degree! (And it's how I was able to live in 9 countries!) Secondly, I wanted you to see this article about Four Seasons Preferred Partners if you haven't yet. I am a Four Seasons Preferred Partner, too, and if you are ever looking to book a Four Seasons property, read this first....

Blue boats attached to a harbor in Essaouira, Morocco

Hey Reader, I’ve been at this travel thing for a while. But despite visiting dozens of countries, I'd like to remind you that I was a newbie once, too. And by newbie, I mean it. The first time I traveled to Africa, I felt so confident, but I was quickly humbled. I couldn't take local currency out of the bank, so I ended up trading my dollars with some guy literally in an alleyway. My first night, I ordered soup that was so spicy, tears were running down my face. And somehow, the next day I...
