Happy Labor Day! Find Travel Ops Inside✨


Hola Reader!

Happy Labor Day if you're in or from the US!

September is officially here and I am not ready to let summer go so to start it off I spent the 1st at the beach! I'm grateful to live in Lisbon where there are lots of beaches nearby. I'm actually getting ready to head to another beach right now.

📌 IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

If you're anything like me and with fall around the corner, you must be excited for all the fall activities to come. A couple years ago I got to spend some time in Rhode Island during this time of the year and want to share all the things you can't miss out on if you go!

Travel blogger tools I love:

I use ConvertKit to send newsletters (like this one!), set up automations, sell digital products/memberships/more. It's perfect to grow your own email list with easy to use features to make landing pages.

GetYourGuide is a tour operator that lets you book tours around the world and if you have 3,000 followers on Instagram you can sign up to be an affiliate to make a commission per sale made with your links!

Please note these are affiliate links and if you use them I can make a small commission at no additional expense to you. This helps me run this newsletter and my blog! Thank you 🫶🏼

🤔 Where to next?

I'm happy that for the next few weeks I'll be able to settle into a routine. In the next week or two I should be starting my Portuguese classes again which I'm excited about!

With my parents visiting at the end of month, I'll be making the itinerary of all the places we'll be visiting around Portugal. I cannot wait to go to some places I've had my eye on for a while and take you with me!
