Hello Global Traveler blog readers!
Today marks my fourteenth day as part of the Global Traveler team. So far, each day has had something new to offer — learning different software, meeting new people and listening to the company back story. Everyone has been helpful and friendly. My first few days, I felt like a tourist, adapting to my surroundings and observing the locals. Now, I feel more comfortable and excited to explore the destination.
A little bit more about me: I have lived in Bucks County my whole life, except for the time I spent at college, Fordham University in New York. I love to laugh and recently started taking improv classes at the Philly Improv Theater. If you couldn’t tell from the lack of vowels in my last name, I am Polish.
I’m very excited to be beginning my adventure with Global Traveler!
— Katie Skrzek, advertising and editorial coordinator

Nov 21, 2024Immerse in an Invigorating Thermal Journey at Scandinave Spa Whistler
The glittering green pines and burst of jasmine lake beyond almost made me forget about the aches in my legs that slowly developed after the promised hour-long hike ran into the third hour. And, oh, there were my hips, showing up to remind me I was no longer in my 20s. I didn’t mind, though, because the vision that surrounded me during our guided walk through Garibaldi Park to Cheakamus Lake in Whistler, British Columbia, with Mountain Skills Academy and Adventures proved worthy of a thousand postcards.
