Some of my best memories in life have stemmed from my travels. One of the reasons why I started my blog was to encourage and inspire people to get out and explore. I always knew that I wanted to host a workshop to talk about travel and I'm so glad that Cindy at Foreign Fresh Fierce and I were able to come together to make it a reality. 

We recently held our Travel Talk Dallas workshop and it was such a success. I had a ball sharing my travel tips and tricks and it was so nice to be able to talk all things travel with our guests. Cafe Express provided the perfect space for our event and delicious mimosas and bites for the attendees. The space was very cozy and inviting.

During the workshop, Cindy and I had the opportunity to demo luggage from Delsey. I've always been a fan of Delsey due their durability and style.

I'm a proud member of #TeamHardShell and I was so excited to show everyone the in's and outs of my Chromimum Lite carry on. Our guests were shocked by how spacious the suitcases were in addition to the USB port technology. 

After the demo, we invited our travel panel AJ from Diary of Ambam and Jennifer from Sassy Teacher Chic to share their top travel hacks. It was great hearing their advice on everything ranging from how to budget for travel, favorite sites for airfare, and traveling with children. 

I'm so grateful for all our sponsors that made the event a success. As you already know, one I my favorite things about hosting events is making sure that the guests leave with great swag. I was so excited that our guests were able to go home with goodies from some of our favorite brands. 

Thank you so much to ZENTS for providing fantastic body sprays, Country Archer for the delicious beef jerky, Belovir Fruit Farms for the refreshing lemonades, OSEA Malibu for the fantastic cleansers, and Bucky for the wonderful eye masks that are essential for travel! I was so excited to see that our guests loved the items in our swag bags. If you weren't able to attend the workshop but would like to purchase an eye mask be sure to use code TRAVELTALK for 15% off your purchase at Bucky.com! 

Last but not least, our giveaways were a huge success! Special thanks to all of our giveaway sponsors, Omni Frisco, Tepwireless, Joy Mangano @prettylittlepassports @wandpdesign, Walkabout Travel Gear, and Vinrella who contributed amazing prizes!
