📚 **I MADE A THING.**
And if you know me, you probably won't be surprised by what it involves.
Travel.
Books.
Europe.
Women doing cool s**t together.
And, apparently, a mildly obsessive desire to turn all of the above into an actual community. 😂
For a *long* time, I've had this idea rattling around in my head.
I don't just want to plan incredible trips.
I want to create a place for the women who are always saying:
*"We should totally do that someday."*
The women whose dream trip has been sitting in the group chat for three years.
The women who want to see Europe but don't necessarily have someone ready to go with them.
The women who have a passport, a Pinterest board, and a suspicious number of saved travel reels…
but still haven't quite gotten around to going.
And the women who know that the best parts of travel aren't always the landmarks.
They're the people you meet.
The three-hour dinners.
The unexpected little café.
The bookshop you stumble into.
The ridiculous story you'll still be telling ten years later.
The glass of w**e you had while watching the sunset somewhere you'd never been before.
The moment you look around and think:
**How is this my actual life?**
That's the kind of travel I want to create more of.
So I finally stopped talking myself out of it.
✨ **Chapters Abroad Society is officially HERE.** ✨
It's a private community for women who believe some of life's best chapters are written somewhere new.
We'll talk about:
📖 Books + destinations
🌍 European travel
👯♀️ Trips with friends
🚢 River cruising
🍷 W**e, food + local experiences
🏰 Beautiful places with good stories
✈️ Travel inspiration + practical advice
✨ And, eventually, actual adventures together
Because this isn't meant to be another Facebook group where we all save posts about places we're *totally* going to visit someday.
**I want to help get the trip out of the group chat and into real life.**
And that brings me to the very first chapter…
🎃🍂 **Enchanted Autumn on the Rhine & Moselle** 🍂🎃
In October 2027, I'm turning 40 while hosting my first-ever group trip—a 10-night river cruise from Basel to Amsterdam aboard AmaWaterways' AmaCerto.
Five countries.
Two rivers.
Castles.
Medieval villages.
Vineyards.
W**e tastings.
Historic cities.
Golden autumn foliage.
A little folklore.
A little mystery.
A little magic.
And yes…
**Halloween in Europe.** 🖤
I'm bringing a favorite spooky book.
You should too.
This trip is incredibly personal to me because it's my birthday, it's the kind of hosted journey I've dreamed about creating for years, and it's also **Chapter One of Chapters Abroad Society.**
And I would LOVE for some of you to be there when we write it.
But here's the thing:
**You don't have to be ready to book a $5,000+ European river cruise to join the Society.**
You don't even have to have your next trip figured out.
This is the beginning.
The place where we can talk about the places we're dreaming about, the trips we're planning, the books that make us want to travel, and—hopefully—the adventures we actually end up taking.
So if you're a woman who loves travel, books, Europe, beautiful places, good stories, and the possibility of making some new friends along the way…
**come join us.**

And when you get there, introduce yourself and tell me:
**If you could write your next chapter anywhere in the world, where would it be?** 🌍✨
Let's see where this takes us.
