Christmas in July? Why not!

I'm so happy you opened this email Reader. Because it's the last day of July, and I'm doing a really quick flash sale. Like...really quick. I love giving back to the Windward Circle - people like you who make my job fun and meaningful. So for the next 48 hours (from when this goes out), I'm giving you 100% off my cruise planning services. Yes, you read that right. I will help you plan your cruise for free. Why? The world of cruising is changing fast - forget mega-ships, icky buffets, and crowds. When the Four Seasons, Ritz, and Aman start launching boutique floating hotels, you know the game has changed. Some "cruises" now have 20 cabins, which means small ports and off-the-beaten-path destinations like Peru, Indonesia, and Seychelles. Some feature menus with Michelin-starred chefs, like Jacques Pepin, Thomas Keller, and Nobu Matsuhisa. And some cruise lines have literally re-engineered their engines in an effort to achieve 100% carbon neutrality. I'd love for you to experience this new era, especially if you've never cruised before! And don't worry, there's a ship for everyone - even if you want to get a tattoo on board. (Yes, really!) Let's chat about what you're interested in, and I'll play matchmaker for you - totally free of charge. I'll also help you book your flights, pre- and post-cruise hotels, and anything else you need, for free. Reach out here within the next two days to make it happen! -Carolyn |

Hey Reader, I am super behind this week, so this will be quick. First, it's official: I'm a Certified Travel Associate (CTA). Peep my new email signature - I added my MPH too, because why not? 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....
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...
Hey Reader, I ate my first arancini (deep-fried Italian rice balls) at a long farm table, as the sun went down over the olive fields. I'd never had one before, because I can't eat gluten, and nobody makes them gluten free. My farm host Chiara invited me to dinner, and went to the trouble of making a special batch for me. We stayed at that table for hours after the food was gone, laughing with Chiara and a couple of Swiss tourists in four languages, none of which we shared completely. I have...
