Hey Reader. This week in particular I have been heads-down on working on client trips. Today, like every day, my work is centered around helping you have the exceptional vacations you dream about, without lifting a finger. I know that by taking these incredible trips, you're giving yourself a very tangible way to slow down and be present with the people you love the most. And when you do that, it allows you to experience new depths - of your relationships, your self-love, and your connection to the world and all its wonders. Travel can be transformational. And when we work together on planning your trips, we can really get there. But it takes the right expertise. I know because I've seen it. This week, I met with some clients who had a lot of ideas of what they wanted for an upcoming trip. On their wishlist was a really remote region that is difficult to get to, and frankly, a little more "expedition" than "girls' trip." I let them know that including this destination would impact a lot of their other wishlist locations. And I got this note the next day: I was thinking more about our call last night, and one of the things that was so great about it is that you gave us really clear eyed and realistic advice about some of our more adventurous plans. We had been going back and forth about [this location], and I’m glad you kind of talked to us off that ledge, lol. I think for the kind of traveling we want to do together it wouldn’t be a good fit, but we needed someone else to tell us! Truthfully, sometimes you just have to consult an expert. If you’d like to get serious about creating a fabulous future trip without the overwhelm, I’d love for you to tell me about it here. You don't need to have all the answers, or even a wishlist - just a willingness to get started :) -Carolyn |

Hey there Reader, This week has been a whirlwind of Seattle sunshine, planning my clients' trips, and the steady jackhammering of our utility workers fixing the water lines on our block 😆 But the coolest thing that happened this week? I was featured in a blog post on one of my partners' blogs! You can read "The Best Summer Vacation Ideas for Every Type of Traveler in 2026" right here from my colleagues at Flytographer! My contributions? I talked about Croatia for sun-seekers as well as...
Hey Reader. This week, despite my resistance, I’m finally testing out some paid advertising. It’s hard to hand a big corporation my hard-earned dollars, and I don’t like it! But I keep thinking about being able to help more people have the trips they deserve, and knowing I might reach the right people is getting me through it. Which reminds me of this popular piece of advice in the travel world. "Travel should get you out of your comfort zone." Which begs the question…is that really true? To...
Hi there Reader, happy Friday! I spent way too much time this week trying to ticket a client's flight to a small town in Croatia...only to finally just do it over the phone this afternoon, lol. I know you can relate. Sometimes you just need a real, live person who knows how it's done. My whole reason for opening up my computer every day is to help you have trips that leave you genuinely enriched and perfectly taken care of. So I've compiled a big-but-not-overwhelming list of 42 tips for your...
