Today we crossed a fun milestone in One Step Away Travelers. Member #100 just joined the group. And it happens to be someone many people on Skool already know — Ron Medlin. Ron has built several communities here and even won Skool Games, so it was a pretty funny coincidence seeing his name pop up as the 100th traveler. But the real win here isn’t the number. It’s the fact that this group now has 100 people who are curious about traveling more, exploring new places, and connecting with other travelers. We’re just getting started. Next stop: 150 travelers. If you’re new here, introduce yourself below and tell us one place you’d love to visit in the next year.

Quick community note To keep this space helpful for travelers: • Please report spam or sales pitches using the three dots on a post • If anyone sends you an unwanted sales DM, feel free to message me so I can take care of it Travel professionals are welcome here, but promotions aren’t posted publicly in this group.

Quick question for the group. When you start seriously thinking about taking a trip, what usually slows the decision down? For most people it ends up being something like: • timing • safety • cost • going alone • too many planning decisions Later tonight I’m hosting a small travel conversation inside the Collective where we’re talking about this exact topic. Not a presentation — just a roundtable discussion about how people actually make travel decisions and what tends to create hesitation. If you want to join that conversation you’re welcome to jump in: 7pm (Chicago time) in my other group: One Step Away Collective Go to the event here: https://www.skool.com/live/Mgvhg6NNgpV But even if you can’t make it, I’m curious about this group’s answers. What’s one destination you’d love to visit…and one hesitation that tends to show up when you start planning travel?

If you've been quietly following travel ideas but haven't joined yet, now is the perfect time.
