Hello, travel writers,

We’re going to keep this one brief, as a lot is happening around the world. In case you missed it on Instagram, we are donating 100% of all sales today to the California Fire Foundation to help our friends and neighbors in Los Angeles rebuild their lives after the devastating fires. So, if you’ve ever considered buying one of our e-books or enrolling in one of our classes, today is a great day to do just that. Or, if you can, please make a direct donation.
