🌎 Cyber Whatday? Last chance on a couple of sale items we never travel without


This issue of our newsletter brought to you by the Daily Drop Pro Newsletter​

Hello Reader,

🧭 Where in the World?

As you read this, we're in the air flying home to Minneapolis from Paris after a nearly two month-jaunt around Europe, mostly on our Eurail passes. To sum up, we visited Rome, Florence, Venice and Padua, Italy; Ljubljana, Slovenia; Zagreb, Croatia; Graz and Salzburg, Austria; Bratislava, Slovakia; Nuremberg, Germany; and Strasbourg, France. Exhausting and exhilarating all at once. Watch our Facebook page and the blog for more on this trip. We'll start writing more once we take a nap.

πŸ’Έ This Week's Best Deals in Travel (It's Cyber Monday!)

  • As you just read, we spent almost two months traveling around Europe, living out of one roller bag each. One of the keys to that packing magic is that we each got along with only two (yes only 2!) undershirts from Unbound Merino. It's our favorite travel brand for packing light. If you don't own the very best travel clothing, now is the time because today and tomorrow are the last two days of Unbound Merino's only sale of the year. Aside from the sale prices, there are also coupon codes that will give an even bigger discount: BF10 (spend $100, save $10); BF25 (spend $200, save $25); BF35 (spend $300, save $35). You get the idea – and these are on top of the sale pricing. Don't miss this.
  • Another key to our packing light success is Xero Shoes. They're having their end of the year sale with up to 50 percent off some styles.
  • Finally, a great travel deal for you that will help you save big on your next adventure: Daily Drop Pro is offering $50 off plus a free set of packing cubes to new Pro members. As a Pro member, you get access to flight deals, miles and points searches, personalized support to help you land your next travel deal, and more. But, our friends over at Daily Drop just let us know that more than half of the packing cubes are gone! So if you want great travel deals and some nice packing cubes, check out Daily Drop Pro here.

πŸ“– What We're Reading

Spurred by our visit to Nuremberg, Germany last week, Tom is reading The Nazi and the Psychiatrist by our friend and college classmate Jack El-Hai, about the Nuremberg trials of the Nazi war criminals after World War II. The book is currently being made into a movie called Nuremberg starring Russell Crowe.
