This just in from Viator. - I promote my agent link on blogs, and get free biz. This tour sold to 8 people this past summer. I never promoted this "exact" tour, but I do promote many in Italy. I create blog posts and add my agent link to viator for direct booking. I'll be writing a post soon on this tour. I've been credited with 81 sales this year - so far. (I already have 6 for 2026). I count a sale as a single purchase, usually for 2, 4, or 5 tickets. The avg ticket cost is $110 - $300 USD for any experience I promote. I go for the higher ticket items. commissions are generally 10%. THIS particular experience, which Viator sent this accolade regarding, is over $200 pp. https://www.viator.com/tours/Bologna/Italian-Food-Experience-in-Bologna-Parmigiano-Reggiano-Factory-Visit-Wine-and-Vinegar-Tasting-and-Lunch/d791-7174P1

Here's a little post that I shared marking my milestone. The point is my goal is to actually fire my job and work for myself from anywhere. Groups like this help me in learning what's possible. I want to thank you! For giving me the vision. Here is the post that I made and wanted to included you on the great news!... 🎉 We Just Hit 20 Members — Thank YOU for the Momentum! I wanted to take a moment to share something big: We officially crossed 20 members in this community! That may sound small to the gurus… but for anyone building a real Skool group from the ground up, you know this is the moment where things shift from “idea” → actual momentum. And that’s because of YOU. Over the last few days, so many of you shared: Screenshots of your setups Lessons learned from your own communities What’s worked (and what face-planted 🫣) Tips, encouragement, and real transparency You’ve given me a front-row masterclass in how to build a Skool group that actually grows, engages, and sticks — and I’m genuinely grateful. This early community energy is exactly what keeps a group alive. So thank you: For joining, for sharing, for giving me ideas, and for helping shape what this place will become. We’re just getting started… and the first 20 are always the ones who later get to say: “Yeah, I was here before it blew up.” Let’s keep building — confidently, creatively, and together. 🙌

Last week I took advantage of booking a last minute massive cruise deal for me and the family. You probably saw me post about it: $10/person/day for Travel Advisors, (and kids sailed free) 🥰 I was almost completely offline last week in the attempt to really be present with my family. As a mom of 3 kids who are getting more and more independent each day, this was shockingly more of a struggle than I expected! Aside from that, I realized when I came home, I was now faced with 2 weeks worth of work and catching up to do. And I felt massively guilty for missing 2 Talk Travel Tuesdays. In short, this week has completely flown by. Taking a breather to think on a daily (or weekly) win. @Nikki Shellhammer and I have put an in-person Travel Party on the books for next week in celebration of the holidays, to gather friends, have some wine and cheese, and talk all things travel. 🧳🌎🍷🧀 What are some wins that you want to share? Feel free to let them be travel focused, family focused, or anything that you would consider a win. It's the season of thankfulness. 💕
