Thank you for adding me to this group. I LOVE to travel, and have traveled a lot alone because I didn't have anyone that wanted to travel, or other reasons they could not go along. I look forward to learning more and hopefully taking a trip or two with everyone. :-)

📌 Worth Pinning (Community Feature) We’re introducing a new ongoing community feature called Worth Pinning. It’s simple, intentional, and designed to highlight real contributions — not noise. 🗓️ First Round (Special Start) For this first time only, you’ll have 2 weeks to post something original related to travel, planning, or your travel mindset. After that, Worth Pinning becomes a monthly feature. 💡 What to Post Anything that helps others think more clearly about travel, such as: - A destination that keeps calling you (and why) - A hesitation or question you’re working through - A lesson from a past trip - A planning win, mistake, or realization - An honest question you wish someone would answer If it adds clarity, perspective, or momentum — it counts. 🏆 How Selection Works (Ongoing) This is not a like-based contest. Each month: - I’ll quietly observe posts throughout the month - I’m looking for clarity, usefulness, and contribution - During the first week of the following month: 💬 Bonus: Conversation Contributor Each month, I’ll also select one member who added value through thoughtful comments on others’ posts. They’ll receive the same worksheet, sent privately. Good conversations matter just as much as good posts. 🔎 What This Is (and Isn’t) - Not about likes - Not about posting the most - Not about being loud or polished It’s about sharing something that actually helps someone else think or decide. If nothing stands out in a given month, nothing gets pinned. That’s intentional. 🤝 Why We’re Doing This This community works best when members share ideas, experiences, and honest questions — not just consume content. Some of the most helpful insights come from members. This is a way to quietly highlight those. Post when it feels right. If it adds value, it’ll be seen.
