Why I Created a Printed Travel Newspaper in the Age of AI
This was one hundred percent my husband's idea. I want to be clear about that.
He said I needed something physical. Something people could hold. Something for the clients who aren't constantly on Instagram or opening every email. Something that reminds them I exist — in a way that doesn't feel like noise.
And he was right. So I did what I do: I took the idea and executed it.
That's how Wanderlist was born — a quarterly printed travel newspaper that goes out to clients, friends, and people who still love having something to flip through over coffee.
Here's the honest reason print made sense for me specifically: my business has never been about speed. It's about doing things well. AI can write a travel itinerary in thirty seconds. It cannot tell you which cabin on an AmaWaterways ship is worth upgrading, or that the Douro Valley road is genuinely rough if you get carsick, or that three days in Prague before your Danube cruise will change the whole trip.
That stuff comes from actually going. From relationships with the people on the ground. From booking this stuff over and over and learning what works.
Print slows things down in the best way. It invites you to linger, to dream, to imagine yourself somewhere. Travel should feel like that.
Wanderlist comes out quarterly — intentionally. I already send monthly emails and I didn't want to add another thing competing for your attention. Quarterly felt right. Enough time to make it thoughtful. Enough space to tell real stories and focus on what you should actually be booking next — not just what looks good online.
Each issue is focused on seasonality. I'm always planning about six months ahead so you don't have to. January focuses on Italian summers. April highlights the Adriatic in fall. Future issues will cover Costa Rica, African safaris, Portugal, and Alaska.
It's not a brochure. It's not an ad. It's just how I actually think about travel — and a way to share that with people who want to plan trips that feel intentional rather than chaotic.
If you want to be on the list for future issues — reach out and I'll make sure you're on it. And if a trip from one of the issues has been sitting on your list — that's what I'm here for.
