Happy Thursday!

First, I wanted to thank everyone who filled out the survey!!

I got some AMAZING feedback and questions from the surveys, and I'll be going over all the questions in the coming newsletters.

Congrats to our two winners of the Amazon gift cards:

• Carolyn
• Bianca A.

Check your emails later today for your prizes!

They were randomly selected from everyone who filled out the surveys. I'll be doing at least one more survey/giveaway this year, so stay tuned :)

One of the most common areas you all struggle with when it comes to travel is finding cheap flights. I have lots of free resources and tips coming your way to help you with that.

Until then... one of my favorite cheap flight alert services is having a sale now:

​Daily Drop Pro, the beloved travel tool that finds all the best cheap flights for you, is going on sale AGAIN… But time is limited 👀

I love Daily Drop Pro because I get alerts straight to my phone when flight prices to destinations around the world drop below average.

It's really simple, and it's one of the many ways I'm able to travel so much - being flexible with when and where I travel and going where the best deals are.

Here are some example deals. You can put in any US or Canadian airport as your home airport or search from anywhere to anywhere.

I've been a Daily Drop Pro subscriber for two and a half years now (before it even had a lot of the incredible features it does now!), and it keeps getting better.

From now through February 17th, if you sign up for Daily Drop Pro, you’ll get $50 off the Pro Plan for your first year. PLUS, back by popular demand, they’re also throwing in a FREE set of DDP-branded packing cubes! (I got these during the last sale, and they are NICE)

I have an entire guide to Daily Drop Pro on my blog where you can learn more. Or, if you want a visual introduction to what Daily Drop Pro can do for you, check out this video:

They also have a free membership if you want to try it out and see what kinds of deals you can get from your home airport.

You can reply to this email if you want to chat or want to share travel tips. My inbox is always open if you have travel questions that I can help you with in upcoming newsletters.

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?

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.
