Want to learn more about the northern lights cruise Catherine Terwilliger and I are planning?

Come to the info meeting on April 9 at 7 pm EST.

We've taken people's feedback from the first option, made some tweaks, and now are very excited about the new possibilities.

It will be recorded if you can't make it but let us know beforehand if you can't so we can send to you later.

The meeting will also come with a bonus ONBOARD CREDIT for those who attended. There is a secret code to get it and you can also see it on the recording 🙂

We're going to talk about:

🇳🇴Two main options of cruises
🇳🇴What to expect onboard
🇳🇴what's included
🇳🇴optional excursions before, after, or during
🇳🇴 difference between the time to go

And we're ending with a poll to see what most people want and that's what the group trip will be!

I'm putting together a discounted rate for Hurtigruten to see Norway and the Northern lights!

There are two main options I need to decide, so wanted to see who might be interested so you can weigh in.

1. Oct or Dec. I wanted to do it outside of holiday times to make it easier for people because I know that can be a stressful time. So I'm thinking anytime in Oct or early November.

2. Length. There are 6 day and 12/13 day options. So the shorter one seems easier for people to get with work schedules since it's just a week, but the longer options come with a northern lights guarantee (if you don't see them, you get to come back later for free).

Shooting for 2025, but if you can't go this year, maybe I can get ball rolling for next year.

If you're interested let me know your preferences for 1 and 2, and I can finalize this!

🌍🐘 Two Spots Left for the Safari of a Lifetime! 🦁🌿

Imagine waking up to the sounds of the wild, stepping into a luxury lodge with a shower that opens to the savanna, and spending your days spotting Africa’s iconic Big Five on a private game reserve—where you’ll get closer, more intimate wildlife encounters than the public parks allow.

This May, I’m hosting an exclusive small-group safari in South Africa, and there are only TWO spots left!

✨ What’s included?
✔️ Private game reserve for unparalleled wildlife viewing
✔️ Luxury lodges with breathtaking views
✔️ Big Five safari experiences (lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos & buffalo!)
✔️ A free guided activity journal (made by me!)
✔️National Geographic certified guide
✔️ Fun surprises along the way! 🎉

If you’ve ever dreamed of an unforgettable African adventure, now’s your chance! Message me for details before these last spots are gone! 🦓🐆🌿

Wow, I've never seen a deal like this! Quark Expeditions is offering a $1500 flight credit, free priority pass for a year (I have it, and it's incredible), and a flight and pre-night hotel. This is for select voyages though, but quite a few!

Let me know if you'd like more info on this or any other possibilities if you can't go this soon!

So excited for this person who just booked Vietnam!

She's going on the new travel style with G Adventures called "Soloish." G is already incredible for solo travellers, but friends and couples and families also travel (which is great!) But G wanted to get back to their roots of being for solo travellers, so it's entirely made of people who don't know each other!

I really like the idea and am wanting to try on my own!

Some other differences of soloish tours:
1. Free airport pickup!
2. Guides are females! Most solo travelers are female, so they want them to be comfortable!
3. Cheaper own room options
4. Itinerary purposefully designed to allow you to meet, interact and bond.
5. We day, G day, me day! Themed days of doing stuff together or independently so you can still have that true solo travel feeling.

All this on top of the original benefits of G which are

1. Planting a tree for every day on tour
2. Lifetime deposits
3. local guides
4. Non-profit that supports local businesses
5. Strict animal and human welfare policy.

Just my fave company! Let me know if you had any questions!

Expectations vs reality.

I know a lot of people, myself included, do a little photo editing before posting. However if it's really obvious it's a filter that's ok, but when it's edited so wildly different... That's very misleading and can lead to a lot of people being upset when they get there.

First (left) pic was one I have seen circulating and the other three were from my trip forever ago.

Wildly diff, ya?

What do you think about excessively edited pics? Beautiful or misleading?

Atlas and Swan and I'm sure some other companies are actually raising their prices on January 1st (Not just removing sales, but actually raising base rate).

I'm in talks with getting a group rate to lock in some lower rates but if you can't make it on one of my group trips (Looking at Jan or Feb 2026) to get some options before those prices go up
