Hey There!

It's been a while since I posted a newsletter and for those of you that are new here - welcome! I've got some travel news and tips to share and at the bottom sharing an update on where this newsletter is heading.

Let's get started ⬇

✈️ TRAVEL FEATURE : Hiking the Cotswold Way

This past month, I finally checked something major off my bucket list: walking the entire Cotswold Way — 102 miles from Chipping Campden to Bath. It was a dream hike through rolling hills, storybook villages, ancient monuments, and more sheep than I could count.

I put together a full guide to help you plan your own walk (or just take a dreamy virtual stroll). It includes:
✔️ My 12-day itinerary
✔️ Accommodation reviews
✔️ Highlights from each day
✔️ What to pack
✔️ Tips for booking and navigating the trail

🎒 GEAR RECOMMENDATION: Scrubba Wash Bag

My newest piece of gear on my 100 mile hike was the Scrubba Wash Bag. A friend of mine has one and loves it so I figured this was the perfect trip to try it out.

It allowed me to do laundry easily and efficiently a couple times while hiking and worked out great! It's super lightweight, folds up nicely, and helps you get a good "scrub" on your clothes. I made a video showing how easy it was to use it. So if you're looking for a quick and simple laundry solution while you're hiking a trail or just on the road for a while check out The Scrubba!​

📍 WHERE TO NEXT?

My next trip is booked and I'm headed to Puerto Escondido, Mexico 🇲🇽

Puerto Escondido has been a well known destination among nomads for years, but is really starting to grow into a popular tourist destination. I'm really looking forward to visiting here for the first time and experiencing Mexico's west coast.

I'll be documenting my journey on TikTok if you want to come along!

🧡 IMPORTANT UPDATE 🧡

Probably to no surprise, this will be my last publication of Nomad Navigations.

I appreciate everyone who subscribed but if I'm being honest, I haven't felt aligned to continue this newsletter for some time. I've grown and changed as a travel creator, and like many, craving more community, which I don't feel I can do with a weekly email newsletter.

Which is why I've created a Substack and along with my regular video content (on TikTok and YouTube), will be publishing over there! I'm excited to be creating in this new space, connecting with my subscribers more regularly, and building a new library of travel content. I really feel like Substack will give me the freedom to create and connect in new ways and allow me to keep growing.

No pressure to join me there, but if you want to, you can subscribe here for free!​

I hope you'll choose to connect with me on one of my platforms and until then

Happy Travels!
