Dear Reader

Happy Friday, it's time for this week's email broadcast with a wide range of topics 💫

​
This week's e-mail includes:

• Featured Article/Guest Post
• Launch of the Caribbean Travel Help Group
• European Christmas Markets

🌴Guess who got featured? 👋

I’m excited to share that I was recently featured as a Curacao expert on Sunshine Seeker!

Charlotte, the travel writer behind the site, used my full write-up and photos to showcase the best of Curacao—straight from my personal experience.

If you’ve ever dreamed of visiting this colorful Caribbean gem (or just want a peek at my insider tips), you can check it out here:

🌴Planning your own escape to Curacao?

I’ve rounded up some of the most beautiful and popular vacation rentals on the island—places that are perfect for families, couples, or solo travelers looking for a tropical base.

Take a look and start dreaming:

​
👉 The Best All Inclusive for Families (With Waterpark!)​

👉 Best CANADIAN-RUN Resort in Curacao​

👉 Stunning Hotel with Bike Rentals Under $100/night​

👉 Breath-taking Ocean Views at this 4 Bedroom/3 Bath Villa​

You heard it here first…

A couple weeks ago, I hinted at something new for Caribbean travel lovers—and I’m thrilled to say it’s live! 🎉

I just launched a Caribbean Travel Help Facebook Group, and you’re one of the first to know.

This is a space for curious travelers to:
✅ Ask real questions and get expert answers
✅ Discover underrated islands (not just the same old resort)
✅ Learn how to travel smarter—even on a budget
✅ Connect with me and a few other Caribbean travel pros

If you’ve ever wanted to explore more of the Caribbean but weren’t sure where to start, this is your space.

Can’t wait to see you inside!

The Christmas Market Game is a Long One 🎄

If you’ve been dreaming of sipping mulled wine under twinkling lights in Europe—this is your sign to keep planning.

A couple of weeks ago, I shared why now is the best time to start locking in your hotels for Christmas market season.

That post sparked a lot of interest, and I wanted to let you know: I’m still rolling out new market guides each month from our whirlwind December/January trip across Europe.

We visited over 20 markets (yes, really)—and there’s no way to write that kind of experience and do it justice in a single post. (To date I have 10 individual posts on Christmas Markets in Europe)

This week, I’m sharing one of my absolute favorite stops: Strasbourg in France.

​
The city goes all in for Christmas. Think: oversized teddy bears climbing buildings, lights strung across every laneway, and entire streets transformed into festive movie sets.

It’s no wonder they call it the Capital of Christmas.

👉 Fresh off the press: Read the full guide to the Strasbourg Christmas Markets here​

If Strasbourg isn’t on your list yet—trust me, it should be. And if you’re already planning, don’t wait to book accommodations. This city sells out fast!

Hope you found something helpful in this week’s broadcast! If you did, feel free to pass it along to a friend who’d enjoy it too. 💖💖💖
