An acquaintance of mine (but someone I follow on Twitter) is taking 3 months off, leaving Atlanta and traveling around Europe:
01 Jun – Atlanta > Barcelona
04 Jun – Barcelona > New York (Speaking at Internet Week)
08 Jun – New York > Barcelona (Resume voyage)
22 Jun – Barcelona > (layover in Paris) > London (Wireless Festival)*
03 Jul – London > Paris (Bastille Day)*
06 Jul – Paris > Belgrade (EXIT Festival)*
14 Jul – Belgrade > Paris*
02 Aug – Paris > Oslo (Øya Festival)*
16 Aug – Oslo > Stockholm (Bus, most likely)
23 Aug – Stockholm > Dublin (Electric Picnic)*
06 Sep – Dublin > Amsterdam*
11 Sep – Amsterdam > Atlanta
Amazing. I’d love to do this. If I was still freelancing, it might have happened already. However, I really LOVE her idea of getting support via SkyMiles on Delta.
For those who have reached out to me about donating SkyMiles to my cause, THANK YOU! I am really so very grateful. I won’t have an immediate need for them but Delta is offering a limited-time offer for a 50% mileage bonus on transferred miles through June 30! That is a killer deal. If you would like to transfer miles to me, please take advantage of this promotion! (My SkyMiles # 2554638490) Please let me know if you do transfer miles to me along with your mailing address so I can send you postcards along the way!
What a great idea. I know most of my grandparents have a few miles saved up and globe trotting friends have some on Delta they may never use (500 miles here and there). I think the new college graduation gift should be miles + money especially with programs where Delta offers a 50% bonus on transferred miles. Personally, I’d love this and take huge advantage of it when booking my own travels.
Good luck Tessa and have a great time!
