Where Autumn is King

Autumn + Garrotxa, an exquisite combination. We still have a few spots left for this journey.

Garrotxa's Finest Season

Some places on this planet just do yellow woods and rustling leaves better. The forests turn with more ochre and fire. The hearth crackles with finer meats. The air fills the lungs fresher, the wine warms the soul deeper. You get the picture: it's Autumn, and when it's good, it's very very good.
 
Introducing: Garrotxa. A supreme cut of Catalunya located between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean, Garrotxa in October is Peak Autumn. Light scarf and smug smile Autumn. Goat cheese and botifarra Autumn. Cover image of that calendar hanging in your kitchen Autumn.
 
Our League of Traveler's trip to Catalunya—October 2-9, 2022—still has a small number of spots available for Fall wanderers. Garrotxa is the heart of Catalunya, and the heart of our trip, where we will wrap the season around our shoulders like a shawl. Think open-fire cooking. Thinks wines as bright and red as a falling leaf. Think a hot-air balloon ride at dawn over amber hills. Think charcuterie and cheese from some of Spain's finest producers, in the valleys of their ancestors.

Garrotxa is also where our co-host Matt Goulding goes to write when he needs a place of supreme peace and even inspiration. Once you see Garrotxa through our eyes, with our friends and connections, you may also start imagining an extended retreat for yourself, perhaps next year in this, its finest season.
 
We can't guarantee space, but if you raise your hand soon we should still have room. Email us at league@roadsandkingdoms.com, or by SMS at 201-754-8548, to start your journey.

I'm Back—With a Giveaway Worth $10,000 in Free Travel!

I'm still in the midst of my "fourth" trimester—adjusting to this new life as a mom.

We could not be more in love with Oliver, our little almost-3-months-old-already peanut.

I still need to write up my birth story. But, I've shared a bit about it, as well as our feeding struggles, on Instagram along the way. Despite a lot of challenges, I feel like we've finally found our happy place.

Postpartum is a wild ride, but I'm learning to give myself grace and have been focusing on my mental health. It definitely wasn't easy to sign off, but I took my first real break from work and social media since I first started blogging over ten years ago.

I'm finding joy in my work again. And, I'm excited to be back creating and sharing more about this journey with you all.

Thanks for your love and support fr me and my family as we enter this new chapter in our lives!

Now, read on for an EPIC giveaway that my friends Kara and Nate are hosting...
