Quick check-in — no pressure to answer this perfectly: When you think about travel right now, what feels most true for you? • “I really want to go somewhere”• “I like the idea, but timing/life makes it tricky”• “I’m curious, just not ready yet”• “I’m happy reading and getting inspired for now” Any of those (or something else) is totally okay.

When you travel, what usually feels best for you? ◯ Just one bag ◯ One bag + carry-on ◯ Carry-on + checked bag There’s no “right” answer here. Some people value speed and flexibility. Others value comfort and having options. What matters most is how you like to move through airports and destinations. If you want, comment why you chose yours that context helps others who feel unsure about what they “should” be doing.

Never Have I Ever: Travel Edition 🌍😏Alright travelers… time to confess. We’re trying something fun today: Never Have I Ever – Travel Edition. No pressure, no prizes, just stories, laughs, and the kind of travel chaos we can all relate to. I love games like this because they show how people actually travel — not the Instagram version. Some of you are seasoned globe-trotters. Some of you are “I triple-check the gate number” travelers. And some of you are quietly reading this thinking, I have stories I will never admit in public. 😅 I’ll go first: ✅ I have traveled somewhere mainly because the flight was cheap ❌ I have never blamed “bad Wi-Fi” to exit a travel situation ✅ I have pretended I knew what a landmark was when someone mentioned it ❌ I have always packed perfectly for a trip ✅ I have absolutely nodded along on public transit hoping I was going the right way Okay… your turn. Drop your own “Never Have I Ever – Travel Edition” below 👇Keep it light, funny, mildly incriminating, and travel-related. No judgment. No fact-checking. Just stories that remind us why travel is always a little unpredictable — and way more fun because of it. 🧳😂

Travel is better when you realize you’re not the only one nearby 👀 👇 Jump in:• Drop a map or travel-themed GIF• Comment your city / region• Tag someone nearby if you spot them 📍 Here’s the community map Quick poll: Anyone near you?

As we head into January, I want to set a goal that directly benefits you: 👉 Reach 100 members in One Step Away Travelers. Why? Because you’ve already made something clear —New Orleans is high on the interest list. So here’s the deal 👇 🚶‍♂️ “Invite One, Travel Better” Mini-Challenge If this community has helped you feel more confident, connected, or clear about travel, I’d love your help growing it intentionally. How to participate (simple + human): - Invite one person who’d genuinely enjoy this space - After you invite them, comment: “Invited ✔️” That’s it. No leaderboard. No pressure. Just momentum. 🎉 What Unlocks When We Hit 100 Members When we reach 100, I’ll unlock a private live planning session: 🟣 Live Event: Planning New Orleans — Together - What people actually want to do - Best time of year - Budget comfort zones - Food, music, culture, free time vs structure This won’t be a sales pitch — it’s a co-creation session. 👉 Based directly on that session, I’ll then build an official New Orleans group trip for later this year. ⭐ First 100 = First Dibs Anyone who is part of the first 100 members will get: - 🎟️ First access to the New Orleans trip - 🔓 Early details before it’s shared publicly - ✈️ Priority booking window (before any outside promotion) This is my way of rewarding the people who helped build this from the ground up. This community already feels special. Let’s turn that into something we actually go experience together. If you have questions, ideas, or want help inviting the right person — just comment or DM me. Let’s make 2026’s travel plans start now. 💙✈️ [MILESTONE | ROAD-TO | 100 | GROWTH → TRIP | NOLA | 2026-01-XX]
