Quick change: tonight's live session is now 6pm Central, not 7. Same link, same topic — what's on the calendar for the rest of 2026, how roommate matching kills the single supplement, and where the New Orleans and other trips stand right now. If you've been on the fence about this fall, come ask your questions live. 👉 https://www.skool.com/live/2S3RrV37SqZ See you in a few.

Once a month I run a live walkthrough of the whole OSAT community, no pitch, just the full picture: - Where everything lives - Premier members get inside their classroom, which trips are open right now and why members keep choosing to travel with us, and how Roommate Match works if going solo's been the holdup. Every 2nd Weds of each month: Next one is July 1 2026 , 7pm Central | 8 pm EST | 5 pm PST (Click the link to get your time zone) · [link] https://www.skool.com/live/2S3RrV37SqZ New here or just never made it to one of these, drop a comment and I'll save you a seat.

Dropping into a live Trip Planning session today at 6:00–7:30 PM Central. No presentation, no pitch. I'm just working on upcoming trips out loud — New Orleans, Santa Fe, what's next — and you're welcome to sit in, ask questions, or just listen. Come and go anytime during the window. If you've got a destination on your mind, a question about how group trips work, or you're just curious what goes into building one of these from scratch, this is the spot. 🔗 Join here: https://www.skool.com/live/SYdJpwHPMtK It's live under the Calendar tab too — look for "Trip Planning" today at 6 PM. See you in a couple hours. https://www.skool.com/one-step-away-travelers-2702/the-trip-ideas-lab-where-our-next-trips-get-born?p=2be03032

I have wanted to visit southern France—Occitanie and Provence—for awhile now. My home base will be either Beziers or Avignon. Ideally, I would like to visit these regions for 10 days September/October and then again April 2027 for 4 weeks. But the expense and logistics may make both trips impractical. There is also the uncertainty of flights at present. I can do the April trip, especially with the help of a local guide who would provide planning advice in advance of my visit. I have checked international tours for the area for September/October but they are very expensive, and I believe I would be fine on my own. The extra expense would not provide more value and I would have more flexibility. I would fly to DeGaulle Airport Paris from Boston and then a fast train to Beziers or Avignon. On return I would spend a few days in Paris.

This community is free. That's not changing. You're not getting kicked out, nothing is getting taken away, and I'm not about to hit you with a bait and switch. But I did just open something for people who are ready to actually go. Not research. Not save the post. Not "I'll think about it." Go. It's called the Founding Member tier. And the reason I'm mentioning it now is because the first 10 people who join lock in $9 a month for life. That's not a typo. When it fills, the price goes up. The founding rate closes permanently. What's inside: roommate matching so you're not paying the single supplement, early access to every trip before it opens to the community, and direct access to me for trip questions. If you've been sitting in this community wondering if a real trip is actually possible for you that's exactly who this is for. Still happy to have you here either way. Where are you right now honestly?
