I Left One Girl Behind… and Found a Few More in Paris

FROM ONE BIG ADVENTURE TO ANOTHER: Turns out dropping your daughter at college and hopping a plane to Paris in the same week is… a lot.

I have officially landed in Paris. 🇫🇷 But before I start flooding your inbox with café tables and croissants, I have some pretty exciting AOP updates to share!

But first, I need to tell you how I got here.

I just dropped my baby girl off at college. ❤️ Sigh. If you've ever done that drive away from campus, you know. It's exciting. It's wonderful. It's exactly what is supposed to happen. And oof.

Then (by design of avoiding the sadness), I got on a plane, flew across the ocean, and landed in Paris to begin two incredible weeks hosting our women's trips. Talk about emotional whiplash. 😂

But there's something kind of perfect about being here right now. I just watched my daughter step into this huge new chapter of her life. And now I'm here, getting ready to watch another group of women step off a plane and into an adventure of their own. Different chapter. Same reminder: our lives are meant to evolve.

"Travel has a way of changing us in the very best ways. New places, new people, new ways of seeing things. And somehow, we come home seeing our own lives a little differently too." — Sydney

SO… A FEW UPDATES! 🎉

First: our brand-new website is LIVE. Go poke around at abroadonpurpose.com. You may spot a few things we haven't even officially announced yet. 👀

Second: Paris 2027 is coming. 🇫🇷 In 2027, we're adding more Paris weeks, making a few new additions to our itinerary, and bringing back all the little details and experiences our travelers love most. More dates, more options, more chances to come do Paris with us. Oui!

The best news? $500 reserves your spot and payment plans are available. Because saying "I'M GOING TO PARIS" should be the exciting part. We'll make the rest easy. 😁

"Champagne-filled dinners, a sunset cruise along the Seine, gypsy jazz drifting through Paris evenings. The entire trip felt effortless, intimate, and unforgettable." — AOP Traveler

That's what I want. Not just a beautiful itinerary. I want you to come home with stories. The dinner that went too long. The thing we stumbled upon. The women you didn't know six days ago who somehow feel like old friends.

And for the next two weeks, I get to do it all over again. 🎉

The best part about a new chapter? You have no idea what might be waiting for you in it. Go find out… (maybe in Paris 😁)

From a mom with a slightly tender heart + a very full Paris itinerary,
Sydney
P.S. I'm starting my croissant count today. Let's see how many I can reach in 15 days! What's your guess?
