Reaching Milestones = More Confidence ✨


Hey Reader, how are you?

There are a few new faces to the newsletter, welcome! It's Anna behind the scenes here, feeling BUZZED about a few new projects in the work.

2 of them have been on my mind for almost a year + this week I finally took the leap of faith to pursue them forward. To make a move. To start planning + putting dreams + ideas into MOTION.

Why now? Because of you Reader!

With almost 200 people in the Your Travel Friend Community (we are SO close to reaching a huge milestone) which has given me the confidence to really see through what you all

have been asking for!

Like a possible group trip / coliving in the fall 😯 Did someone say a podcast launch soon as well?

If you're getting curious or excited reading these updates, I'm so glad. It's motivating to help you travel whether it be maximizing vacation days, taking a leap of faith + going solo or pursuing a remote work lifestyle, I can't wait to be a part of your journey!

This past week also included a coffee shop visit to plan my own personal travel for the next couple of months. What my June road trip is, coordinating visits with friends + asking around to find affordable accommodations, as well as planning my journey to hopefully be in South East Asia by the end of fall.

Lots is happening + I'm joyed to have you along for the ride travel friend!

See you Sunday,

Anna

Reader, Spring is here in Canada. I think. I hope. We're fluctuating between 12℃, full sun, what feels like patio season for us coming out of winter with the looming weather report of more snow on the way 😔 April is a teaser month, making me re-think about spending winters in Canada + how many of my long-term travel + digital nomad friends are flocking to Southeast Asia (places like Da Nang, Chiang Mai, Lombok) or South America. I really should have warmed up at Carnival in Brazil this year...

I've talked about loneliness, finding friends while travelling solo + how to find social circles while travelling in past newsletters Reader. It takes effort, to meet people, to maintain relationships, to put the effort to see one another again when you're 7,000km away. And this applies to family, friendships, romantic connections + business acquaintances. You have to be the driver if you want relationships to flourish + develop. 1.5 years later this effort has paid off. Let me tell you the...
