Upcoming Travel
My next adventure is in August, I'll be hopping across the pond to London for a concert. I’m a firm believer that concerts make an excellent excuse to travel. Sometimes I choose destinations for history, food, culture, and sometimes I choose them because my favorite artist is playing there. In the meantime, I have been taking mini adventures every Friday and exploring within a 3-hour drive from my home. I call it the Summer of Fridays. If you follow along on castle and quill travels, social media pages, you may have seen these.
The After Supper Club
How many times have we said, "We should get together sometime"?
The After Supper Club is for people who want to do more than catch up. It's a community built around making new memories, discovering new places, sharing books, trying new experiences, and building genuine friendships.
Think book discussions, local adventures, day trips, travel opportunities, museums, concerts, coffee meetups, and the occasional spontaneous adventure.
Because making friends as an adult is hard, and life is too short to keep waiting for "someday."
