YOLO baby! 🌞 So grateful to Yolanda Edwards & Carly Shea for including me in the Club Yolo newsletter today.

I still remember picking up the first-ever issue of the magazine and feeling like I’d found a new lens on travel—one that looked how travel felt to me. Enchanting, soulful, and full of wonder. It told stories I wanted to read and showed places in a way that made me want to pack a bag immediately.

In Yolanda, I saw a woman who had the courage to create something thoughtful, alive, and deeply her own. That kind of courage is contagious.

It’s people like this, and examples like Yolo, that remind each of us to do something braver, wilder, or more true than we might have done alone.

So. Here’s your reminder: you don’t need anyone’s permission to create your dream life. Travel to the places that delight you. Talk obsessively about what inspires you. Or to live in a way that feels both courageous and full of joy. ✨

Oh, and please read this newsletter!! It was so fun to talk travel & hospitality!!
