Abroad in Your Inbox Vol. 6

WOW WHAT A WEEK…AND I MEAN THAT IN THE BEST WAY!
IDK what’s going on in the universe but I feel her doing some wild and crazy things for your girl and I am here for it 1,000%. If you guys follow me on IG, which I’m assuming you do, you might have seen me annoyingly tease that I just landed probably the biggest gig of my career {I still can’t share because contracts…} but believe me when I can…OMG you’ll know lol.
Since then, I’ve landed possibly 4 other hosting jobs, booked my first international trip for the end of this month, and secured vaccine appointments for Linda & myself. My word for 2021 is abundance and let me tell you the amount of gratitude I feel right now is astronomical.
I’m sharing all of this not to brag but simply to encourage you to really start speaking the things you want in your life into existence. Every day I write down 10 dreams that I have for myself in the present tense as if they’ve already happened. And I know this is a little woo woo but I am living proof that this sh*t works so why not give it a go? What do you have to lose?

THE LATEST
TRAVEL
A LOOK BACK ON THE LOST YEAR FOR 6 TRAVEL PROFESSIONALS - The New York Times put together a beautiful, painful, powerful & somewhat hopeful piece that features what 2020 looked like for 6 people who work in different sectors of the travel industry around the world. From a safari guide to a commercial pilot, this piece really gave me perspective on just how devastating this year has been for my industry but also gave me hope that better days are coming.
HOW 6 DESTINATIONS AROUND THE WORLD HAVE SURVIVED A YEAR WITHOUT TRAVEL - Another NYTimes piece that dives into how tourist destinations like Hoi An, Vietnam, the Singapore Airport and Paris, France have survived a year without tourists.
WHICH COUNTRIES ARE OPENING THEIR DOORS TO VACCINATED TRAVELERS - If you’re one of the lucky ones, here’s a look at all the countries that say they will give travelers vaccinated for COVID-19 a pass of some kind.
WHAT FULLY VACCINATED TRAVELERS NEED TO KNOW BEFORE PLANNING A TRIP - From mask policies to gathering with other fully vaccinated friends, I love how this Conde Nast Traveler piece really breaks down some of your biggest vaccine travel questions.
HOW TO RENT AN RV FOR $1 A DAY - Like many travelers this past year, I’ve come close to booking an RV trip {might have some exciting news on that front soon…} but if the $$$ has had you second-guessing pulling the trigger this article might offer a solution.
CURRENTLY OBSESSING OVER
FAV PURCHASE - If you watched this year’s Best Travel Gift Guide video, then you know how obsessed I am with Stoney Clover Lane - a colorful line of customizable travel accessories. I’ve always struggled with finding the perfect travel case for my sunnies & with my trip to St. Lucia coming up at the end of the month I wanted to treat myself to a new piece of travel packing gear. Enter their sunglass travel case - it’s PERFECT, has adjustable compartments, and can be used to store more than just sunnies. PS this is where my Alle Abroad backpack is from!
FAV PODCAST - This past week I had the pleasure of being interviewed on the Tin Lounge Podcast - which is a fabulous resource for travel professionals to stay up to date with all the latest travel news, restrictions, trends, etc. {so if you’re into this weekly newsletter you should go subscribe!}. We chatted about my #1 favorite destination in the world, how the heck I won an Emmy {lol} + some ways to repurpose your old travel content you might be sitting on. Click here and give it a listen!
FAV WATCH - Rather than picking 1 thing to recommend this week, I thought I’d share this article that lists 26 travel shows to stream right now! I’m currently catching up on Killing Eve which is WILDLY entertaining and unexpectedly full of fabulous destinations.
FAV READ - After finishing last week’s fav read I have to admit I found it hard to find a book that could live up to it…And I remember Linda {my mom} raving about how much she loved Bill Bryson novels so I thought I’d give one of his more popular titles “In a Sunburned Country” a try & I have to say I LOVE IT. His writing style is just the right amount of dry humor and education that makes me really excited to visit Australia one day.

In this video, I’m going over EVERYTHING you need to know before you go. From my favorite destinations to visit, the best time to go, how to avoid the crowds & what you absolutely cannot leave the country without seeing.
