If you’re opening this newsletter today, Merry Christmas x
I know not many people read newsletters on Christmas Day, so I thought I’d treat those who do to a special edition of Help I’m TRAppe-d!
Instead of the usual, I wanted to share something more personal today. Below is a list of places I discovered on my travels this year. Quiet stays, meaningful experiences and locally owned spots that are kind to the planet and good to its people ✌🏻
Enjoy ت
