Happy October πŸ‚πŸŽƒ

Happy Thursday!

I'm back home from my week in San Francisco and...

Surprisingly, I like the city a little more than I did the last time I visited!

I got to explore some local spots, catch a few baseball games (RIP Oakland A's), and enjoy great food.

I still dislike the weather in SF, but I definitely like the city more than I did when I first visited.

Now that I'm home for nearly a month, I'm working on finalizing my membership for travel content creators. I'm doing a beta launch next week, and I'm both nervous and excited.

If you're a travel creator and want to learn more, sign up for the waitlist. (You'll receive more information and a big discount!)

As always, you can follow along with my current travels on Instagram and Facebook, or reply to this email if you want to chat!

Have a great weekend :)

Travel Insurance

One of the things I get asked about the most is travel insurance. Should you get it, and if so, which one?

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! 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...
