Although I’m not able to attend this year, I love the work that Kelly Lewis and team are doing with the Women’s Travel Fest and we’re thrilled to be a media partner again this year.
The event is fast approaching — tickets are on sale here so if you’re in the New York City area this weekend (March 9-11, 2018), be sure to grab a ticket and attend for some or all of it.
