Hey travelers, good news!
You have one less thing to worry about.

The question I get more than almost any other is: what should I wear so I don’t look like a tourist?
And honestly, you probably will look like a tourist. 🤭That’s okay.

What actually earns you a sense of belonging in a place has nothing to do with your shoes.
It’s patience.
It’s curiosity.
It’s slowing down enough to say buongiorno before you order
It’s putting your phone away at dinner.
It’s being a guest who politely acts like one.

Every CTC traveler gets a seasonal packing list tailored to exactly where they’re going, including any dress code considerations for sacred sites or special occasions. plus one-on-one time with me to ask every question. You won’t be left guessing.🧳

Wear what makes you comfortable. Your wardrobe is the least interesting thing about you as a traveler.
Arrive curious and kind, and you’ll feel right at home.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 🫶

FAVORITE TRAVEL TIP 🔥
If you happen to wake up early in a new city, get out & wander!

Whether it’s Church bells, jet lag, or pure excitement, if you find yourself waking up extra early, take advantage of the opportunity to watch the city wake up!

☕️ This week I’m in Florence and with the Easter holiday it’s been particularly busy for the spring - but beauty, quiet and calm can still be found in the city center if you know where (or rather when) to look!

☀️I took a destination free stroll this morning starting from the Oltrano side of Florance around 6:20am, and found some of the busiest streets completely empty.

I Watched a few shopkeepers open for the day. Commuters on bikes buzzed by every few minutes. Taxis zoomed off to pick up tourists. And I found a new appreciation for the efforts to keep the streets clean as the human and motor sweepers seemed to cover every inch of the city. 👏

One of my favorite ways to have an intimate moment with a new city is to see it in the morning light. I may not wake up intentionally, but if I find myself awake in the morning, I pop on a comfy pair of shoes and head out the door to watch as the city starts her day.
It’s always something I am so glad to have seen and gives an entirely different point of view, that contrast with the busy day or the buzz of the evening.

Do you have a favorite time to see a new city?
Or a way to see it ?

Is it just me, or is everyone else prone to spiraling over everything that could go wrong?

Why do we obsess over fears but barely linger on joy? 🥹

Here’s an idea 💡What if we intentionally gave energy to what’s ahead? Make time to daydream, not plan. Read the stories, watch the films, study the art.

Anticipation isn’t just waiting.
It’s the beginning of the journey

Your next adventure deserves to start long before you board the plane 💓

Have you created any rituals to foster positive anticipation in your life or travels???

Everyone’s roasting Pantone’s 2026 color as “just white.” Okay fair, but... why does it feel so familiar?

Spoiler: Italy’s been proving Cloud Dancer works IRL—even if you’d never use it in your living room. 🇮🇹✨

Hey! I got you something…..
It’s a curated local adventure day together!!

Is this gift the modern mix tape??
It should be!!
(if you’re under 30 years old, Google “mixtape” to see what was once the world’s best gift)

There’s honestly no better gift in the world than time, attention, presence, and a little bit of shared fun 🤗

In my 43 years of life, there are maybe a handful of gifts that were really special, but there are countless times that I have shared with friends and family that I’ll never forget .

- The time my friend took me on their favorite hike and introduced me to the little bakery they love to refuel after 🧡not gonna forget that
- The time someone showed me how to do their favorite hobby 💛 that stays with me forever
- The ridiculous attempt to draw at game night with friends 💜 my stomach hurt from laughing so much (even if I don’t wanna do it again)

We already have all the evidence that we need ➡️ doing something new and doing it together leads to a good time➕ deepening our connections with each other …. And what could be a better gift than that. 💗

FUN FACT! We are out of the office more than 1/3 of the year! 🚗 WHY? No amount of preparation compares with walking in the steps of our travelers, long before they do.

Plus, some of our travel includes workshops, trainings or meetings in niche subjects with the hopes of finding new potential partners in new locations! One such expedition of discovery is underway right now! Our CEO Tara shared some notes from the road,……

“little did I know when I left teaching for a career in travel I was signing up to be the forever student!
Much of my job is gaining expertise and experience to share with our travelers!
Sometimes this happens through structured research, networks, happenstance or good fortune, and also from industry conferences - such as the one that kicked off just outside of Lisbon Sunday. With travel colleagues & friends from Hungry, Spain, Bulgaria, Brazil, UK, & Italy, together we are on a deep into the world of Portuguese mainland wines! 🍷

Wines are more than just a compliment to a great meal! In the context of travel, I see wine as an opportunity.

The world of wine offers travelers access, to get personal with local people working to keep traditions from being lost.

Take Portugal as an example. There are over 3000 small producers. It’s not uncommon that “small” literally means a single family! A travelers visit is an invitation into the family home; down to historic cellars, walking old vines, and tasting their dear creations.
Especially important (in my opinion) it’s a way into the lives of a family ~ sharing stories, family lore, past traditions and the dreams of the next generation working to keep it all alive.

Making wine is a risky business, much of the process can’t be controlled, economically it’s tough to survive just by producing wines on a small scale. That’s where tourism can be a force for good!
🔄 travelers gain an insiders perspective, and authenticity while their visit helps these producers to keep little wineries from closing their doors, or getting absorbed into mass production.

Wine tourism done right is a win-win, and why my global colleagues & I love to connect our travelers with these places, people & experiences”
