Hola desde Uruguay!For the first time in a long time, I haven’t been on a plane in over a month. But in about two weeks I’m headed back to Europe for two epic press trips and some personal travels.

Thank you for subscribing to my monthly newsletter highlighting my recently published articles, upcoming calls for sources, and a peek into my travels.

As the name implies, Dr. Wilkinson’s is more than a resort — it’s a mineral hot spring oasis.
