Peru, Mexico, and what’s next ✈️
|
Happy Tuesday! Last week, I talked about my favorite travel resources I use for travel planning (check it out here if you missed it - you can even bookmark this page for future planning!) This week, I wanted to share what I've been up to so far this year, and what's coming in the next few months: I started the year out in Peru where I actually... got stranded at Machu Picchu. Yep, it's as dramatic as it sounds, and the YouTube video comes out in just a few weeks, along with a bunch more fun in Peru. Make sure you subscribe to my channel so you don't miss a video! Even if you aren't on YouTube often, hitting that subscribe button would mean the world to me :) After Peru, me and my Mom headed to Mexico, where we visited Chichén Itzá and Valladolid before heading to a resort in Cancun. Chichén Itzá was my 4th World Wonder, and let's just say it went a lot more smoothly than Machu Picchu 😆 I've been home for a few weeks now to catch up on work and enjoy the start of baseball season here in Chicago (Go Sox!). This summer, I will be staying in the USA to enjoy the best time of year in Chicago, while still taking a few fun trips throughout the next couple of months. Then, my next international adventure at the end of summer is taking me back to South America... and I'm hoping it goes better than Peru! I'll have more to share on Peru, Mexico, and my summer in the US very soon, along with more emails to help you travel better and cheaper. As always, you can reply to this email if you want to chat!

Happy Tuesday! I've been packing for my next trip, so I thought it would be the perfect time to answer a question I get a lot: what do you pack that you actually use on all your trips. Here are a few things I bring on almost every trip. They make my life a lot easier when I'm on the road. Dry bag: Perfect for beach days, boat tours, kayaking, and protecting your electronics if you get caught in the rain. Microfiber towel: Lightweight, dries quickly, and doesn't take up much space. Great for...

Happy Tuesday! One of the things I've been enjoying most this summer is catching up on the long long list of books I want to read. I've been reading lots of travel books, as well as thrillers, mysteries, and memoirs. Here are a few reviews of books I've enjoyed recently: All You Need is Flights by Jen Ruiz On the Hippie Trail by Rick Steves Oh, and anyone that knows me knows that I never hide my true feelings... which you can see in my first 1 star review here. If you have any books you want...
