No one ever comes back from a trip wishing they'd stayed home.
Not once. Not the couple celebrating 40 years who finally made it to the Dominican Republic. Not the solo traveler on a train from Berlin to Venice who texted me mid-journey just to say "I can't believe I almost didn't do this." Not the group of friends who spent a week in Ireland and are already planning the next one.
I've been saying this to clients for almost a decade. It has never once been wrong.
I run a travel agency out of a small town 40 miles west of Fort Worth. People sometimes raise an eyebrow at that. But I've learned that the best travel advice doesn't come from being in a big city — it comes from actually caring about where your clients end up.
I've sent people to places I've never been. I've also talked people out of places that sounded better on paper than they are in reality. That's the job. Not booking trips. Curating experiences worth having.
This newsletter exists because I believe the world is genuinely better when more people see more of it.
Every week I'll share one story, a few things worth knowing, and occasionally a trip worth considering. No fluff. No filler. No "top 10 beaches" listicles you've already read a hundred times.
Just honest travel intel from someone who genuinely believes — #WhyStayHome?
