This is the one place in OSAT where every future trip idea lives — yours, mine, all of it, in one ongoing conversation. 🔔 Quick thing first: hit the bell on this post. That way you'll know the second someone drops a new destination or replies to yours — you don't have to keep checking back, and you'll actually see who else is dreaming about the same places you are. Here's how it works: You drop a destination you've been quietly dreaming about (or one you've already done and think the group would love), and we talk it through together. - No pressure - No commitment - No "sign up now" - No need to write a novel — one line is plenty Just: where do you want to go, and why haven't you booked it yet? The trips I end up building — New Orleans, Santa Fe, whatever comes next — all start exactly here, as a conversation in the comments before they're ever a real itinerary. If enough of us keep talking about the same place, that's usually the first sign it's worth building for real. So tell me: - What's a destination you keep coming back to in your head? - What's stopping you from booking it solo? (Cost, nervousness, no one to go with — all fair.) - Seen a destination someone else mentioned that you'd jump on too? Say so in the replies — that matters as much as a brand-new idea. Drop in for thirty seconds or stick around and reply to a few people — either one moves this forward. I read every comment here. This thread doesn't go stale — drop an idea today, next month, whenever it crosses your mind. 👇

Not the first trip. Not the big one. I'm talking about a random Tuesday night — a meetup I had on my calendar for two weeks, and by 4pm I had talked myself out of it three times. Traffic. Tired. D Don't really know anybody there yet. I'll go next time. I went anyway. And I met someone who's now going to New Orleans with us in November. I think about that a lot. How many "I'll go next times" we collect over the years. How they stack up. How one day you look at the pile and wonder what would've happened if you'd just gone. That's really what this community is about, if I'm being honest. Not the destinations. The going. Quick poll — be real with me: What's your "I almost didn't go" moment most often about? - A) I'm tired and it's just easier to stay home - B) I don't know anyone and it feels awkward walking in alone - C) I talk myself out of it before I even get started - D) Something else (drop it in the comments — I actually want to know)

You joined this community because travel is calling you — but something is still in the way. Maybe it's not knowing where to start. Maybe it's the idea of going alone. Maybe it's the cost, the planning, or just not having someone to figure it out with you. I get it. That's exactly why I'm opening up a few free 20-minute clarity calls this week. No pitch. No pressure. Just a real conversation to figure out what travel actually looks like for you, and what your honest next step is. By the end of the call you'll know: →What's really been holding you back → Whether a group trip makes sense for you right now → What kind of support would actually move you forward. To grab a spot, drop a comment below and tell me the one thing that's been stopping you from traveling. I'll reach out personally to set up a time that works for you. Let's figure this out together.

🌍 I want to try something simple but powerful. 👇 Where have you actually been (traveled, lived, or explored)? BUT one rule: ➡️ Post ONE destination per comment (no lists, no stacking cities) Examples: “Rome, Italy” “Tulum, Mexico” “Sedona, Arizona” Why we’re doing this: I want to start building a trusted travel network inside this group — real places, real people, real experiences. This helps: People planning trips know who to talk to Me connect you with the right people Surface real recommendations (not Google noise) Optional (if you want to add more): Reply to your own comment with: What you loved What surprised you What you’d skip Let’s see how deep this group really goes 👇

...🎷 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?
