AND JUST LIKE THAT, I’M OFF TO FRANCE
As I write this week’s Abroad in Your Inbox, I’m sitting next to Linda in the United lounge (worth the splurge), nursing a glass of red wine and overcome with a sense of deep gratitude. We are about to set off on a 3 week trip to France where we will first escort our inaugural Gals Abroad Getaways group to Paris & the Loire Valley and finish with a research trip to the South of France.
Everything about this moment feels surreal. Linda and I have spent MONTHS preparing for this trip, planning each and every detail meticulously that now that the moment is here, I honestly can’t believe it’s actually happening.
For those who might be new here, I launched Gals Abroad Getaways in November 2021. It’s always been a dream of mine to help other women see and travel the world in the way Linda and I have been so fortunate to do over the past several years.
I like to say that these trips are for luxury-loving, independent, self-identifying women who are tired of waiting for their friends/partner/family in order to travel the world on their own terms.
Building this business alongside Linda has been by far one of the most rewarding (and at times challenging) experiences of my life. But hearing just how many of you are SO eager to join us on one of our adventures is truly the reason I do any of this.
Each and every one of the women joining us on this trip have been such a joy to work with and I just can’t wait to see how this community and business grows in the coming years. This is just the beginning and OMG do we have some new and exciting things planned, just you wait.
I have SOOOOO much more to share and if you’d like to follow us on our adventures, please make sure you’re following both @allepierce & @galsabroadgetaways on IG to keep up with all that we’re doing in Paris & the Loire Valley.

PS - Linda and I are spending an entire week exploring the South of France (a new Gals Abroad Getaways destination perhaps?!) and this article on the best Airbnbs in the South of France really spoke to my soul.

PARIS INSPO
I wanted to share a video that my wildly talented friend Wilbert shot last summer when he was in Paris with some amazing creators, including my gal Ali Stone. This video gets me hyped every time I watch it and if you’re planning a trip to Paris anytime soon or thinking about it, WATCH THIS.

CURRENTLY OBSESSING OVER
SHOPPING MY OWN CLOSET - I did something I NEVER do before any big trip - I didn’t buy one single new thing 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯. This is truly a monumental moment for your girl because I have been known to drop MAJOR dollars on pre-vacay prep. Instead of buying new things, I shopped my own closet and leaned into Rent the Runway and Nuuly for some really fun French pieces for this trip. As a recovering shopaholic (lol) I’m really proud of my frugality. PS - if you want to save some $$$ and start your own renting journey use my code RTRALLEP for 40% off two months of Rent the Runway. And click here if you want to try Nuuly and get $20 off your first month!
GETTING GOOD WITH MONEY - Credit Tiffany Aliche with the leaf I’m turning over by not splurging on pre-trip shopping for new things I really don’t need. I’m the first to admit that I don’t have the greatest frugal tendencies (that’s putting it lightly) so I’m working on it - TIME FOR MAMA TO BUY A HOME AND GET GOOD WITH MONEY ONCE AND FOR ALL!
HAPPY ENDING
