ANTARCTICA: Fly & Cruise FREE Webinar Join us for a FREE webinar all about flying and cruising to Antarctica! Be one of the .005% of people to have visited the White Continent.

I'm super excited to announce that the latest book in my Mindful & Intentional Traveler series has just been released, and it's called:

HOW TO BE A MINDFUL TRAVELER:

Deepening Your Travel Experiences Through the 5+ Senses

It's partially a guidebook for using your 5+ senses (yes, there's actually a 6th sense I cover) to get much more out of your travels, part journal and partially filled with intricate mandalas designed to help bring you back to center when you find yourself drifting away from wherever you are.

It's short and sweet and the price is just $4.99 for this 55 page book.

THANKS, AND PLEASE SHARE!

Join us this Thursday for a FREE webinar about my upcoming trip to ANTARCTICA where you can have all your questions answered.

Did you know that by some estimates just .005% of the world's population has been to the 7th continent? Get yourself on that elite list!

Keep in mind that on this trip you'll skip sailing the notoriously rough Drake Passage (which takes 2 - 3 days each way!) and instead you'll FLY to Antarctica in less than 2 hours.

You'll also enjoy being a guest on the smallest ship in the region, a 67 passenger former icebreaker from Greenland that is simply out of this world. This ship also has the lowest client-to-crew ratio in the industry at just 6 to 1, so you know you'll be well taken care of throughout.

WHAT: ANTARCTICA: Fly & Cruise FREE Webinar

DATE: Thursday, August 29th

TIME: 6 pm CT (7 pm ET & 4 pm PT)

COST: FREE

REGISTER HERE: https://tinyurl.com/2025AntarcticaWebinar

Spaces in the webinar are limited, so don't delay registering, which you need to do.

Do let me know if you have any questions at all.

Thought I’d post this latest information I found from the BBC about the upcoming need to get a visa for travel to Europe.

It’s nothing to worry about, it’s not required just yet, it’ll only cost 7€ and is said to be good for 3 years, plus it will be phased in over an initial six month period, so if you forget it, you may still be OK (but don’t tell them I told you that!).

The churches of the Tarahumara people in the Sierra Madre of Chihuahua in Mexico are very simple but beautiful. There are no pews and the ladies sit on one side and the men on the other. This one in Cusárare is wonderfully painted too.

I had another great conversation with my good friends CColleen Kellyand Megan Kudla of the Round Trip with Colleen Kelly radio show on WLS 890 AM-Chicago.

These interviews are so fun to do because they have me come into their "big girl" studio at the famous NBC Tower in downtown Chicago.

Have a listen, and my portion of the show starts around 11:30 into the recording.

Can't wait until we do it again, ladies!
