💸 Smart Travel Tips, Gear I Love and a Must-Read Book Recommendation
A Weekly 3-Minute Read to Help You Travel More (Without the Money Stress)
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how I can serve you better — how to make this newsletter more useful, more inspiring, and easier to take action on.
Recently, I celebrated 10 years of running The Thought Card.
What helped me get here?
✨ Creativity
✨ A can-do attitude
✨ Consistency
These traits helped me travel to 27+ countries and build a lifestyle where travel isn’t a once-a-year splurge — it’s part of my everyday life.
So, I’m trying something new. 🎉
From now on, this newsletter will be delivered in a three-part format designed to help you take action — travel more often without the money stress.
Let’s jump in!
1. Save Smarter
Have you considered flying out of smaller regional airports closer to home?
Skip the long drives, pricey parking fees, tolls, and big-airport headaches.
Smaller airports = short security lines (15 minutes or less!) — even without TSA PreCheck.

2. Travel Gear of The Week
I finally upgraded from a bunch of plastic baggies to a toiletry bag I actually love — and I think you will too.
✅ Space-saving design
✅ Detachable clear pouch
✅ Doubles as a shower tote
Perfect for road trips or extended getaways — and it ships fast. (Great Mother’s Day gift idea!).
👉🏾 Add this toiletry bag to cart.
3. Travel Book of the Week
Nicknamed “the budget travel bible,” Nomadic Matt’s updated edition of this classic is even better than the original.
Whether you’re planning long-term travel or just want to stretch your vacation dollars, this book is packed with real-world tips, budget hacks, and mindset shifts that work in 2025.
