Black Friday is already starting π²π°
|
Happy Thursday! Did you miss me last week? If you didn't notice that there was no newsletter last week, no worries! But that's right, I'm dropping the frequency of the newsletter to 2-3 times per month instead of every week. This gives me time to work on other projects like blog posts, my creator membership, YouTube videos, and social media. Don't worry, though; you'll still get all the best travel giveaways, news, and deals in your inbox on *most* Thursdays. In other news, Black Friday deals are ALREADY STARTING. Are you shocked? I am. We aren't even halfway through November, but the deals are coming in like crazy. Lucky for you, I'm compiling all the best deals for both travelers and content creators in one place! I'll be sending the links to those blog posts next week. Until then, I wanted to share two major sales that are already happening. βEF Ultimate Break (for ages 18-35) and their sister company - EF Go Ahead Tours (all ages) - have launched their Black Friday sales early. To learn more about the sales, you can check out the posts I have detailing them: If you book with EF Ultimate Break, make sure you use code UASarahET100 to save an extra $100 on all trips, on top of the sales. As always, reply to this email if you want to chat or find any great Black Friday deals to share!

Travel Insurance One of the things I get asked about the most is travel insurance. Should you get it, and if so, which one? YES, you should have travel insurance, as you never know when things may go wrong. SafetyWing is my go-to for travel insurance because it covers so much, is easy to purchase for days or months, and is affordable. Many credit cards also include travel insurance. Personally, I get SafetyWing on top of my credit card insurance. Learn more about SafetyWing and the benefits of using them in my blog post about travel insurance. |

Happy Thursday... and HELLOOOOOOOOOO 2025!! Yep, we're starting this year off with a bang. I'm not sure what it is, but I have a really good feeling about this year. To kick us off, I wanted to share some upcoming updates in the travel world in the next few months, including one that went into effect yesterday for people traveling to the UK. ETA for UK travel: As of yesterday (Jan 8, 2025), travelers from over 40 countries now need to apply for an electronic travel authorization (ETA) to...
Happy Thursday! I wanted to take this time, and this last newsletter of 2024, to reflect on the year. I took some wonderful trips, including: New Year's in Costa Rica A last-minute trip to Amsterdam (which was also my first time flying business class!) A trip with good travel friends to Turkey A girl's trip with college friends in Europe Three travel conferences around the US (Utah, Portland OR, and Puerto Rico!) Plus, quite a few trips around the US to catch baseball games (Arizona, Miami,...
Happy Thursday! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving, if you are in the US, and everyone is having a good December so far! As always, I'm glad the Black Friday emails have slowed down and the crazy shopping days are over. I do all my shopping online to avoid the crowds, and my Christmas shopping has been done for over a week now! I'm excited to be able to take this month to enjoy time with friends and family instead of trying to shop and think of last-minute gift ideas. I also spent my few...
