Hi Reader,
I hope you are doing great wherever you are.
I am in Moldova, on my last day here, spending a few days on a solo trip, enjoying some me-time.
Christmas is only 3 months away and, if you are in the Philippines, I know the countdown has started already ๐, It has to be the country where Christmas starts earliest!
For the rest of us, we will have to wait a couple of months more for the full Xmas spirit to take over.
In the meantime, we are joining in the celebrations and starting our own countdown with a 350 EUR discount on our Christmas markets tours ๐
On this week's email:
Our most joyful trip is more affordable than ever.
My travels for the rest of the year.
What women, fear and need. Meg and I talk about what women *really* want when they travel solo, the things that worry them, the best places for a first solo trip and the motivations for solo travel. These and many other data points all together to bust myths and break stereotypes. There is also some singing and dancing at the end of the episode, join in the fun!
Our November and December Christmas markets tours are ready to show you around the most magical and sparkly parts of Central Europe.
Here's a mood board for you from our previous tours.
From Zurich to the tiny Principality of Liechtenstein to Munich, Salzburg, the fairytale village of Halstatt and finally, Vienna, with its 19 Xmas markets.
4 countries in 9 days focused on the magic and celebration that comes with Xmas; the foods, the cheese, the decorations, the sparkling lights, the traditions, the falling snow..
Come join us this Xmas season and save 350 EUR if you book in the next 2 weeks.
*To avail the offer, book one of the discounted prices. This offer is only for new bookings.
My travels for the rest of 2026
It's mid September and I still have so much traveling to do in the remaining months!
I will be home for just a few days and then travel to Central Asia for most of October to scout our 2027 trips to Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan with a short side personal trip to Tajikistan.
I will then come home, unpack and repack and fly out to London for the World Travel Market conference and to join my friend Alessandra from Women in Travel CiC on a full day tour of London with some of the female guides who have been part of their training program.
You can join us too, and I would love to meet as many of you as possible in London!
In the morning, an Ethiopian food tour in the heart of the community followed by coffee, perfume and belly dancing lesson with a Saudi guide.
In the afternoon, start with the Saudi coffee, perfume and dance class and continue with a food tour that traces back London's history through the dishes that represent its past, from the Roman influence to all the colonial expansion.
After London, I am flying straight to Morocco for our group tour. I have not been in the country for a couple of years so I am excited to visit again.
I will then spend a few days home and will fly to Lithuania with my mum for the Christmas markets. This is a short long weekend to visit a country I have never been to, and feel the Christmas spirit.
I will end the year in Argentina and Antarctica where I will spend more of December on our first expedition to the ends of the Earth. This is a trip of a lifetime, and I love penguins, so I am sure it will be a happy way to end the year.
I will land back home on New Year's Eve ready to wave 2026 goodbye in the best way, and hopefully, without too much jetlag!
