Kick off your next adventure

Each month, I host an easy breezy travel workshop full of pointers, fun facts, history and different travel-related topics like: miles/points, creating an itinerary, where to travel, when NOT to travel, country-specific themes based on where I've been and travel mishaps and how to fix them.

Plus, you'll always get a chance during Q&A to ask me anything travel related.
