Happy Tuesday! I'm so excited to finally share something I've been working on... my Patreon is officially live! Over the past few years, this community has grown so much, and I'm incredibly grateful for everyone who reads my blog, watches my videos, and follows along on my travels. I wanted to create a place where I could connect with you on a more personal level and share even more of the journey. On Patreon, you'll get a behind-the-scenes look at life as a travel creator, including weekly updates on what I'm up to, behind the scenes, exclusive monthly videos, and the stories that don't always make it into my YouTube videos or Instagram posts. There are two monthly membership options: Supporter
Postcard Club
I'm especially excited about the postcards. I've always loved collecting them while I travel, and now I'll get to send some of them to you with a handwritten note from my adventures. The first batch will be sent in September! To celebrate the launch, use code WELCOME for 50% off your first month if you join my Patreon by August 31, 2026. Your support helps me continue creating free travel guides, videos, and resources while giving you a closer look at the work that goes into every trip. I'd love to have you join me, and I can't wait to share this next chapter with you. Thank you so much for being here and supporting what I do!

You can book a local photographer in cities around the world for quick, professional shoots that capture your trip without the stress of taking your own photos.

Here are a few things I always do before I leave: Buy travel insurance: I use SafetyWing because it’s affordable, easy to buy whether I’m traveling for a week or a few months, and covers a lot.
