    TRAVEL CLASSICS 2024 👩🏽‍💻🌵✨ 30 ye TRAVEL CLASSICS 2024 👩🏽‍💻🌵✨

30 years ago, the amazing Maren Rudolph started Travel Classics—a small, selective networking event designed to unite some of the country’s top travel journalists and editors for a few days of connection, collaboration, and community.

This weekend was my second year attending what has become my favourite conference, and I’ve left feeling full of gratitude for the welcoming group of talented writers and inspiring editors who I had the honour of meeting (or reuniting with) over the past few days.

Thank you Maren for bringing us all together, and thank you to the editors who took the time to meet with us! 💛

If you’re an aspiring travel journalist, Travel Classics offers a scholarship for emerging travel writers to attend the conference! Check out travelclassics.com > Contests > Scholarship to learn more and apply! 💸

(Pictured: Enjoying a rooftop sunset dinner with the group at @hotelvalleyho / a beautiful custom print created for the conference attendees by an artist from the @scottsdaleariz Cattle Track Arts Compound / just some of a handful of magazines from the inspiring editors who I met with at the event)
