Hey Reader, Have you been watching the World Cup? If not, maybe you have seen this goofy Norwegian taking the internet by storm? (That's Norwegian soccer star Erling Haaland, and he's a delight.) Thanks in part to Haaland, Norway beat Brazil (!) to be in the quarterfinals for the first time ever, in their first World Cup in 28 years. It's safe to say that Norway is having a moment, but it goes beyond their successes in the World Cup. Norway is also a European destination without the heat waves. As London and Paris bake, Norway remains cool and collected no matter what time of year you go. I recently planned a trip to Norway for clients who had some very specific requests, including attending a Black Metal festival, viewing old stave churches, doing some spectacular hikes, and kayaking under the midnight sun. There is so much to love about Norway. It has surreal nature alongside world-class cities, vibrant music and arts scenes, and of course, a sense of humor.

First, my clients have been sharing the coolest pictures from their time in South Africa, Uganda, and Tanzania. They saw a newborn forest gorilla yesterday! 😍 Second, I've spent this whole week at a conference called We Are Africa, with all-African colleagues who operate lodges, safari companies, hotels, and so much more. I've...

Okay, if you must know…after planning 15+ trips so far this year, I rewrote some of my homepage, even though I am not a copywriter. Like, at all. I’d love to hear your thoughts on it, Reader.
Hey Reader, It's Friday, so of course, that means I'm standing at my desk and emailing you. Thanks for letting me be in your inbox, by the way. I never take it for granted! I love writing to you each week, and I hope over time, I can really get to know you and your travel goals a lot better. We all have that list of "one day" trips we want to take.
