The Golden Thread: Stories that Connect
Not just guides. Not just lists. Real stories.
For 15 years, I’ve shared where to go, what to do, and how to make the most of your travels — whether across the globe with yTravel Blog or here at home in Raleigh.
But behind every itinerary, every coffee shop, and every adventure, there’s a golden thread — a hidden connection that ties travel, place, and life together.
The Golden Thread is where I share those stories.
It’s not a blog post or a list of things to do. It’s a more personal letter from me to you — reflections on travel, life, money, motherhood, entrepreneurship, and the deeper lessons I’ve learned along the way.
Because everything is connected. Sometimes we just need someone to point out the thread to help us rise above the chaos and believe in something purer and more certain.
When we see and understand the threads, we’re better able to tap into greater purpose, joy, and miracles (where the real GOLD lies).
I want to shine a light on how easy it is for you to find the golden thread in all the moments of your life, not just those that take us to foreign lands.
Inside The Golden Thread, you’ll get:
🌍 Stories behind the guides — the personal moments I don’t always share publicly.
🧵 Hidden connections — lessons from travel, place, and purpose, woven together.
💡 A spark of insight — something to reflect on and apply in your own journey.
✨ Invitations to go deeper — with your own life or with me as a guide on your journey,
Why join?
If you love my travel guides and Raleigh stories but sometimes wish for something more personal, more reflective, more real… this is for you.
Think of it as sitting down for coffee with me once a week — where I tell you the story behind the story.
