Hi, I’m Christy. I plan the trips, make the arrangements, and — more often than I’d like to admit — take a few wrong turns along the way.

This space is where travel stories meet business detours. Some are funny, some are humbling, and all come with a lesson tucked inside. Think: missed trains that turned into better adventures, or business missteps that eventually led to smarter strategies.

Why share them? Because I’ve learned that the best stories — and often the best opportunities — happen when things don’t go as planned. If you’ve ever booked the wrong hotel, packed the wrong shoes, or taken a career leap that felt more like a face-plant, you’ll fit right in here.

So welcome to My Wrong Turns. Pull up a chair. Subscribe for free to get full access to the newsletter and publication archives. And join me as I turn missteps into lessons, one detour at a time.
