Had a small session today talking through the New Orleans trip, and a few things stood out that I think will help anyone who’s been thinking about going but hasn’t decided yet. 1. Hotel clarity matters more than price The biggest question wasn’t “how much?” — it was:👉 Where am I staying and does it feel comfortable? So I’m keeping this simple: – Moderate hotel option – Walkable location (French Quarter access) – Balance of comfort + cost – Roommate matching available if you want to reduce cost without sacrificing the experience 2. People don’t want to plan everything A lot of hesitation comes from: 👉 “How do I actually get there and move around?” So I’m building an optional upgrade where I handle: – Flights – Airport transfers – Getting you from your door → hotel → back home You show up. Everything else is handled. 3. The experience matters more than the checklist One thing that came up: 👉 Jazz / live music That’s not something I’m leaving to chance I’m shaping parts of the trip around it (especially Frenchmen Street and local spots). If you’re leaning toward this but just need clarity, message me and I’ll help you sort it out quickly.

If this landed in your inbox today, would you say yes? • 5 days • Small group (8–10 people) • No planning required • Mix of chill + 2 experiences What destination would make this a no-brainer for you?

Hey everyone I wanted to give a quick update. I’ll be rescheduling tonight’s “Solo Travel Confidence” call for next week. I recently lost a close friend, and there’s a memorial this evening that I need to be present for. I appreciate your understanding, and I’ll share the updated time shortly. — Michael

...🎷 New Orleans is calling. September 2026. I have been sitting on this idea long enough. It is time to find out if this is actually happening. Here is what I am thinking for our first official One Step Away Travelers trip: New Orleans. September 2026. Small group of 8 to 12 people. Solo friendly, relaxed pace, no rushing around. Think live music, legendary food, real culture, guided experiences, and zero logistics stress on your end. Just show up and enjoy it. I am not building this until I know who is serious about it. So I need one thing from you right now. Just one word in the comments: 🔥 IN if you would seriously consider joining 👍 INTERESTED if you want details before deciding 👀 FOLLOWING if a future trip is more your speed ❌ PASS if it is not for you That is it. One word. Takes five seconds. If 8 or more people say IN or INTERESTED, I start building it this week. If not, it stays on the shelf and we move on. New Orleans is one of those cities that gets under your skin. The food alone is worth the trip. The music makes it unforgettable. Are you in or are you out?
