Lonely Planet

I’m an avid hiker, and love how when you’re out on the trail you’re truly traveling: being somewhere new, escaping the crowds, and having an experience that’s unique to you in that moment.  That's why I'm so excited that Lonely Planet is partnering with my long-time favorite hiking planning app AllTrails. Together, we're combining Lonely Planet's destination expertise with AllTrails' trusted trail intelligence. It's a partnership built around a simple idea: spend less time researching and more time making memories outdoors. The partnership features a co-branded editorial series on LonelyPlanet.com and custom social content designed to connect travelers with their next great trail.  Each recommended trail pairs AllTrails' member reviews and on-trail details, like trailhead directions, parking recommendations, and timing tips, with Lonely Planet's local knowledge on best places to eat, stay, and things to see. I hope it inspires more people to lace up their boots, venture somewhere new, and experience the joy of exploring on foot.

Next week I'm headed to Portland, OR for Destinations International with Lonely Planet and I'm excited to connect with and learn from so many leaders in global travel at such an interesting moment for the industry. If you're going to be there, drop me a line here and we can connect during the show. Today, Lonely Planet remains the top travel guide and trusted source for trip planning. We're finding new ways we can influence and connect discerning travelers, from social coverage with a locals POV, trip bookings through Lonely Planet Journeys, our new app, and our visibility across LLMs. It's an interesting time and looking to learn how destinations are telling their stories of place in new ways. I’ll have some copies a of a special Lonely Planet zine to hand out, launched at SXSW, so come find me while supplies last. Thanks for hosting Travel Portland! 🌏 🌎 🌏

I was delighted to chat with Yitzi Weiner at Authority Magazine (https://lnkd.in/gnW6Bunp) about the future of travel, our work at Lonely Planet and some fun stories from my career journey. It was a great way to mark the continued success of the Lonely Planet app (https://lnkd.in/gWSDMq3e), which has performed strongly since release, been featured as a best new app by Apple, and spotlighted by PC Mag as one of their favorite travel apps.  Hoping you all have a fantastic summer of travel - and that Lonely Planet can guide you to the best places and experiences, wherever you’re headed.

Only a few months after Lonely Planet chose #Sardinia as one our Best in Travel 2026 destinations, Delta Air Lines announced their new seasonal nonstop flight to from New York City JFK to Olbia Costa Smeralda. Now we've partnered with Visit Sardinia to spread the word about this majestic island paradise. Sardinia feels like another world: separate from mainland Italy, with its own distinct identity yet similarly warm, welcoming and beautiful. I love their unique pastas, like su filindeu, their charming locally-owned agriturismi and disappearing into the turquoise blue of the sea. (Be sure spend a day on a boat exploring and snorkeling around the Golfo di Orosei.) I couldn't think of a better time to go! https://lnkd.in/gAa4pjAZ

I've been hiking for as long as I can remember. As a California native (and former Girl Scout!) some of my favorite memories started on a trail and for years, AllTrails has been the app I've been using to pick my next spot. So seeing Lonely Planet x AllTrails come together feels like such a perfect fit. These two brands are making it easier than ever to get inspired and get going on a new adventure. Not only will my fellow trail-lovers find a great hike, but you'll find all the best things to do in the area to make this an experience you'll never forget. This is one of those partnerships that just makes sense, and I'm excited to see two brands I genuinely love helping more people find their next adventure. 🥾🌲 #AllTrails #LonelyPlanet #Hiking #Travel https://lnkd.in/gJTpT8cP
