Hey Reader, Hope you had a fab weekend! We had some gorgeous sunshine, I got to see my neighbors' art production, and my husband took me out for sushi. An A+ weekend! I wanted to pop into your inbox today because I have a really cool travel opportunity to share with you. It's called the Traveling Sisterhood Safari. It's in June. It's for women. And it would be the perfect first trip to Africa. Okay, let me back up. I've been working with a wonderful woman-owned company in Uganda for gorilla trekking for some of my clients. I like them because they care about sustainability, they support locally-owned businesses and communities, and they have a dedicated training program for female wilderness guides. This trip is led entirely by female guides - which is unheard of in Africa - for a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment for adventure. Traveling alongside expert women gives you a different perspective on Uganda. And the tour includes some really wonderful cultural exchanges with local women, like making shea butter and visiting a women's coffee cooperative. Other highlights of the trip include:
I trust this crew with my clients, and I think everyone should have the opportunity to fall in love with Africa like I have. I know for some solo women travelers, Africa seems too hard, too foreign, too risky. That's why I think this is the perfect opportunity for a first experience in Africa. You'll meet up with other bold women from all over the world and enjoy a safe, women-led journey in one of the most spectacular destinations on Earth. This is more than just a trip - it's an opportunity to explore Uganda’s beauty alongside other women, share inspiration with a community, and create lasting memories. So, do you have June plans now? Reply to this email and I'll share more details about this trip! -Carolyn PS - There is a second Traveling Sisterhood Safari planned for October, if June doesn't work for you. Just reply and I'll send you those details instead! |

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.
