OUT OF OFFICE CURATED A Kristen Fung Travels Newsletter By Kristen Fung Advanced Travel Curator Dear Reader, I was talking to a friend who receives my newsletter, and I didn’t realize until she told me that all the Out of Office notices seemed like auto-responses/vacation replies. This might mean people aren't opening this newsletter. Thank you for letting me know. I had never thought of that when I chose this name. You will notice the title change from this point on. If you missed any...

OUT OF OFFICE CURATED Travel curation for the intentionally curious By Kristen Fung Advanced Travel Advisor Dear Reader, I hope you are surviving winter wherever you are, including the torrential rain of Hawaii, the freezing temps on the upper east coast, and the long days of winter gray that this season brings. Maybe it's time to think of a vacation. A common misconception about working with a travel advisor is that we only work with luxury clients. I want you to know that it isn’t true....

OUT OF OFFICE CURATED Let's explore the world one museum, and one plate at a time By Kristen Fung Certified travel advisor Happy Fall Reader! Raise your hand if you know what shoulder season is ✋.

OUT OF OFFICE CURATED Let's explore the world one museum, and one plate at a time By Kristen Fung Certified travel advisor I can't believe it is summer Reader, This issue was supposed to be my Rome guide, but something happened that I wasn’t expecting. I hit a milestone that I never thought I’d hit: $20,000 in travel sold this year!! I am pretty excited. Truthfully, I started 2025 pretty discouraged. I had a solid four months of cancellations, prices I couldn’t beat, and some window shopping...
