Abroad in Your Inbox Vol. 52

/

I WANTED TO CONDUCT AN EXPERIMENT WITH THIS WEEK’S NEWSLETTER ;)

Let me explain:

On Friday I’m speaking at TravelCon, teaching about how to become Fearless on Camera - Click here to snag a digital ticket if you can’t make it to TravelCon 2022!

Anyways, in my talk one of the stats I share is that the mere mention of the word “video” in an email subject line increases email open rates by 19% - and I wanted to see if that was true for this newsletter lol. Only time will tell haha.

And now you’re probably wondering, what’s the video haha. Don’t worry, I’ll link it below. It’s a fun little recap of my Desert Disco 30th shot by my incredible friend Stefan Colson. He’s the amazing human who shot mine and Linda’s TV show pilot - updates on that show soon-ish ;).

And the best news of all, the Poppy website is LIVE

Poppy is the amazing Greater Palm Springs luxury vacation rental company that manages The Pond Estate and 130+ properties all across the Coachella Valley. Their range of properties is truly incredible and if you’re planning a trip to Palm Springs anytime soon, you’ve gotta check out their roster!

If you missed the full recap of the party, with all the vendors we worked with CLICK HERE.

CURRENTLY OBSESSING OVER

SPLURGE WORTHY SUNGLASSES - normally I’m not one to splurge on expensive sunglasses because, well, I don’t trust myself. But seeing as I’ve newly graduated to full-blown adulthood, I thought I’d test my ability to have nice things and not ruin them. If you’re in the market for some fab summer sunnies - check out this selection!

WHIMSICAL WALLETS - I used to carry around a giant wallet until I realized those don’t really work for me. So I switched to only carrying the essentials in little coin purses that make me smile. Not exactly great for organization, but they make me smile and they’re great for traveling to Europe with all the coins haha. Anthro currently has a few that are really cute!

STOCKING UP ON TRAVEL ESSENTIALS - This summer is SLAMMED with travel - no joke I think I’ll be home for maybe 1-2 weeks each month (just the way I like it). So I’m getting ahead of my travels and stocking up on essentials. Here’s what I’m currently restocking:

  1. This is the only phone case I travel with and it’s time for me to get a new one since my current one is a bit beat up lol

  2. A new power bank because they now come in fun colors and my boring black one needs to go haha.

  3. Nothing better than a good under eye patch on a plane - these are my new favs.

  4. Call me extra but I love a fuzzy slipper for the hotel room cause walking around in bare feet gives me the ick.

  5. The only sunscreen that I use that feels like I have nothing on my face - it’s magic!

There’s more linked below ;)

CURRENTLY IN MY CART

GEARING UP FOR MEMPHIS PART 2!

I’m getting ready to head down to Memphis this week and I decided to re-watch the videos I created for Memphis Travel last year and it got me SO excited to return. If you’ve not visited before, you HAVE to add Memphis to your list. I often feel like it gets overlooked by travelers who have a myopic focus on Nashville. But I’ve gotta say this cultural hub has truly something for everyone & the food and music scene is incredible!

Check out my Memphis Food Guide below and this written guide with all the locations laid out in 4-day itinerary!

HAPPY ENDING

Honestly, SNL is hit or miss but this TikTok skit had me in stitches hahaha. The internet is SO WEIRD.
