Inside the Travel Lab

If you only read three things this week...

Hello hello!

Happy Birthday to Me! 🥂

I've been quieter than usual on social media lately, but I haven’t been idle.

I’ve spent the first part of the year taking a look at all the AI inspired changes in the digital world and it's made me rethink a few things.

I'm realising that the best travel stories - the ones that are a little more poetic, a little more thought provoking - need a new home.

So that's what I've been working on behind the scenes. If you're even a little bit intrigued, sign up via the link here and I'll send you the details when it's all ready.

Until then - a huge, heartfelt thank you for supporting Inside the Travel Lab (and me!) through another journey around the sun.

Inside the Travel Lab itself will be eighteen years old very soon.

And, er, so am I, if you double it and throw another load of numbers after that...

Cheers,

Abi
