The Start of Something New(sletter) + A Giveaway!

Typewriter with the words "wayward news" on the paper

The start of the second half of the year seems like the perfect time to launch something new: the wayward newsletter!

Twice a month (give or take) subscribers will receive a list of the most recent posts, as well as links to interesting articles around the web, personal travel stories, and the occasional sale roundup. Best of all, new subscribers receive an exclusive link to my fifty best travel tips:

More important, though, is what you won’t receive: an invasion in your already-full inbox shilling products or services you don’t need (if you’ve ever signed up for J. Crew’s emails you know what I’m talking about). And each email will include an unsubscribe button at the bottom; as much as I’d hate to see you go, I completely understand the need to live with less. No hurt feelings, promise.

  1. I just got back from a trip to Italy and Portugal… next, I’m staying stateside! In between deciding whether to visit Sonoma or Portland this fall!

      1. Congratulations, Emily – you’re the winner! I’ll be emailing you shortly to arrange delivery of your new packing cubes!

  2. @n0rabradley is my handle and I’m hoping to head to Jordan for my next big trip. I recently moved to Palm Beach, Florida and I’m also planning some quick weekend trips in Florida!

    I’ll be going to Seoul, Korea around mid-August and I plan on staying there for about a month. It’s been a trip I’ve been planning since last year and I’m so excited to eat my heart out (Korean BBQ is the best 🥰)

  4. My next trip will be a different one for me… I usually fly to big cities to see art museums. My boyfriend and I were taking a road trip through the Arkansas Ozarks.

  5. Insta handle @jessclickener 🙂

    I’m excited to go back to Portland this fall! It’s where my husband is from and it’s the polar opposite of my native Miami.
