Hey Reader. It's been a wild and wonderful week over here, planning several amazing trips for folks in Seattle. Today was great - not only did I get to write an email in French, I also saved a client $575 on airfare this morning. A new high score! If you've been here for a while, you may remember that back in October I chatted with my friend and colleague Chanelle Carlin on her podcast, Now You May Kiss. Chanelle is a wedding officiant here in the PNW, and we go way back. On our last episode, we talked all about honeymoon planning. But this week, she released a new episode we recorded together all about destination weddings! I'd love for you to have a listen. You know I'm not your average travel planner, since I was a luxury wedding vendor for almost 7 years, and also lived in Africa four times before I ever visited Europe. So this is not your average podcast about destination weddings! We talk about the fun stuff - like where to go - as well as the unsexy parts. (Hint: at the end of the day, you do actually want to be legally married.) Oh, and...I also tell you exactly who you need on your team to pull everything off without a hitch. You'll see that it's possible to daydream about incredible destinations AND be pragmatic. So jump in and click on one of the links below, my friend. Let me and Chanelle show you what 1 in 4 couples already knows, and what we have known as wedding vendors for a long time: destination weddings are not going anywhere! (...get it? going..anywhere? didn't think you'd get a dad joke today, did you?) Spotify Instagram (give us both a follow!) -Carolyn PS. Look how cute we are! 👇🏻👇🏽👇🏾Listen now! |

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...
