I'm at a loss... 🤷🏻‍♀️


Happy Monday, Reader

I've been sitting here for about 45 minutes now, writing and then deleting emails to you. I looked back at what I've sent these past few months, and realized:

I'm just not happy with what I'm doing right now.

I've been sending business-ish updates for a while, but I don't really want these emails to be about my business. I want them to be about travel.

That said, I haven't been traveling much this year because A) Baby V is still so small (6 months already, though!) and B) Google has knocked my site (well, all of my sites!) down so much that I can't really afford to travel as much as I used to.

I'm just a bit lost, to be honest!

So let's go back to basics.

For the next few weeks, I'm going to keep my Monday emails short and sweet. I'm going to include:

  • A reminder/update about the Ultimate Explorer competition (check today's P.S. for that)
  • A discussion prompt that's more travel focused

If you're willing to play ball, you can hit reply and answer the question. Your emails and enthusiasm really do inspire me, even if I'm very slow to respond sometimes 😅

So all that said, here's today's discussion prompt:

What one item do you always take on a weekend trip?
("Weekend" means 3 days/2 nights)

I'm updating my weekend packing list, and I'm curious what is on yours!

That's it for this week – see you later this week if you're on my Alaska list (click here if you want to join), and next week with another discussion prompt.

Until then, stay well, and safe travels!

✌️❤️✈️,

P.S. I finished second in my group last week in the Ultimate Explorer contest. If you have a moment, I'd love your vote to help me win...
