Abroad in Your Inbox Vol. 48-Alle Abroad

I HAVE HUGE NEWS!

I’m writing this email on the plane as I’m headed out to Palm Springs to once again host the BNP Paribas Open & stick around for essentially all of March to work, play and celebrate my 30th birthday at one of the most EPIC homes I think I’ve ever been lucky enough to stay in (wait till you see…)

But that’s not the news…this is:

I’M SPEAKING AT TRAVELCON AND I’M GOING TO BE TEACHING ATTENDEES “HOW TO BE FEARLESS ON CAMERA”!

My talk will take attendees through my 5 steps to help anyone get more comfortable speaking on camera, creating videos, doing interviews, speaking on panels or heck even just showing up and speaking to your community on Instagram Stories.

To all my fellow travel lovers, creators, travel industry professionals - THIS IS THE TRAVEL CONFERENCE YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS.

TravelCon has always held an incredibly special place in my heart because I consider it the conference that really skyrocketed my career in the travel industry. I can say with 100% certainty that the incredible opportunities that have come my way in my very short time working in this space would have NEVER happened if it hadn’t been for me attending TravelCon in 2019…

HERE’S SOME EXAMPLES:

Getting featured in Forbes *twice* - introduced myself to a freelance writer for Forbes at the conference
Working with Memphis Travel in 2021 - met the marketing team at the Media Marketplace and stayed connected
Winning 2 Premium Economy tickets on Singapore Airlines (trip been postponed due to COVID) & met a dear friend Sally in the process - all thanks to TravelCon
Getting featured in the NYTimes - TravelCon
All my work with ASTA, making videos in Europe last summer and speaking at their global travel convention - ALL BECAUSE OF CONNECTIONS I MADE AT TRAVEL CON
I had the chance to make incredible friends and connections with inspiring people like Glo Atanmo, Jeff Jenkins and Jess Parker

I got to learn and network with the likes of Kiersten Rich (@TheBlondeAbroad), Mike Corey (@fearlessandfar) & Kristin Luna (@lunaticatlarge) - CLICK HERE FOR THIS YEAR’S LIST OF SPEAKERS
I was able to meet & connect with journalists for major publications, tourism boards, hotels, & some of the biggest travel brands out there - that eventually turned into partnerships
Oh and did I mention the parties each night are EPIC?

I’m telling you, if you’ve ever dreamed of creating a career in travel or you currently work in the industry and you’re simply looking to uplevel, network & connect with others who share your passion - THIS IS WHERE YOU NEED TO BE AT THE END OF APRIL.

THE LATEST

CURRENTLY OBSESSING OVER

ALL THE TRAVEL ORGANIZATION - I recently re-discovered this brand that sells chic, eco-friendly clear bags, clutches, and pouches that are TSA and stadium approved! I am ALL about the organizational items when it comes to keeping my sh*t straight when I’m traveling. And these pouches are incredibly well made, come in a ton of different shapes, styles and colors.
1. I currently have this large pouch but I’m looking into getting this case that would be great for makeup & this one for all my toiletries!
HAPPY MAIL - If you caught my IG stories last night you saw this month’s P&P Creative Club Happy Mail Box and all the goodies that came inside (that’s where I got my new Truffle Pouch). This monthly subscription box is filled with some of the most carefully curated goodies - everything from $50 gift cards, art prints, glassware, jewelry, travel projects and more (usually valued at $250 or more a box)! You have to check out the sequin beach bag that’s in next month’s box. I normally run away from subscription boxes but this one is SO legit!
PUBLIC SPEAKING BOOKS - With my talk at TravelCon and a HUGEEEEEEEE speaking opportunity coming up at the end of the summer (details when the contracts are signed lol) - I have been devouring books about how to be an impactful public speaker. If you’ve got a presentation coming up or you just want to get better at public speaking - snag this book. I just finished it and it has some of the BEST tangible tips & recommendations + tons of hilarious disaster stories about when talks go wrong that are sure to make you laugh and worry a bit less about having something misspelled on your slides lol. Also, I am currently reading Talk Like TED (as in TED Talks) and it’s fully of great takeaways as well.
THE NEW AWAY LUGGAGE - One of the questions I’m asked all the time is “What’s your favorite brand of luggage” and much like many of my seasoned travel pals, my answer isn’t revolutionary….IT’S AWAY. And there’s no comparison. I love the style, I love the smooth roll of the wheels but above all I love the lifetime warranty. They just came out with the most gorgeous lavender color and I’m really trying to hold myself back from dropping all my pennies on a new set of luggage lol. But in case you’re in the market - here’s $20 off.

HAPPY ENDING

Since I’m turning 30 later this month, this reel really hit home hahahaha. Does anyone else relate?!
