4/21: Happy Monday!
We're flying through April!
Hi hi,
I hope everyone had a lovely Easter weekend—nothing’s better than brunch, blooming flowers, and some time to pause and reset. 🌸
Speaking of resetting, I’m currently in Montana with family this week. I’m still working, just at a slower pace (with a better view!).
Major heads up: I’ll be OOO from April 29 to May 9 for a safari with Desert & Delta in Botswana (!!). I’ll be completely off the grid—literally offline—during most of that time, so please reach out before then if you need anything.
Here’s what’s going on:
Media Opps
I’m writing a piece about Austria’s best spa hotels. Send me your faves!
I’m writing a guide to Salzburg. Feel free to ping me if you have any favorite hotels or restaurants.
I’m looking for Lisbon and Porto recommendations! I’m especially on the hunt for must-try restaurants, cozy cafes, wine bars, hidden gems, markets, museums, scenic walks, and everything in between. If you have any favorites in either city, please send them my way—thank you in advance! (I’m not going there, it’s for a story.)
I’m writing a story about why Austria is Europe’s most affluent destination. Know of any luxe hotels & ski resorts, upscale restaurants with caviar menus, luxury experiences, etc.? LMK!
As usual, I’m working on spotlighting restaurants that have opened in the past three months or will open in the next three—ping me with relevant clients!
I’m also covering luxury hotels that have opened in the past three months or will open in the next three. If you have any fitting clients, let me know.
Press trips & media visits: I’m actively writing luxury travel stories and creating social content for a slew of travel publications, which means I’m open to press trips and/or media stays at luxury hotels.

A few things to note:
When reaching out about a pitch in this newsletter, please don’t reply directly to this email—there’s a good chance it’ll get lost in my inbox. Instead, please send a separate email with ‘Substack’ in the headline to make sure I see it.
When pitching hotels, please make sure to always include a link to the hotel’s images. This will help streamline the process if I’m able to write about the property.
In the Loop
As I mentioned, I'll be offline from April 29 to May 9 for a once-in-a-lifetime trip, and I’m beyond excited! That said, feel free to reach out this week or after May 9 if you need anything. I’ll be back to business after the trip, and I look forward to working together then.
Have a great week, and thank you for the support!
