Thank you so much for joining us! Please introduce yourself in the comments. Tell us a little bit about yourself and what you are looking forward to and/or hoping to see from our posts. If you have any questions or feedback, we would love to hear from you.
We dabbled with a newsletter a few years ago and just couldn’t seem to make it feel like it fit our way of communicating. We are very excited to now connect with our followers on Substack in a more personal way, with a less “fussy” format and bring you into our unique world and love of unique travel.
Not sure exactly who we are? Head on over to the “About Us” page.
What to Expect from Us
Our “pitch” is that we are, “Sharing our lives as travel addicts and DINKWADs. Shutterbugs seeking out everything out of the ordinary. ✈️”
What’s a DINKWAD? If you haven’t already Googled it, it stands for, ‘dual income, no kids, with a dog.’
