Over the past two months, my inbox has been full of:
\n“Did you quit?”
\n“Are you alive?”
\n“Lexi. WHERE 👏 IS 👏 THE 👏 PODCAST 👏”
\n
🚨 Here’s the deal: Emilia and I realized something.
\nTrue Crime Travelers and The Solo Girl’s Travel Guide have grown faster and bigger than we ever imagined. And honestly? It’s just gotten too big for just the two of us to handle on our own.
\n
\n✨✨ So… we started having some big conversations with some big people. Like, bigger-than-we-ever-expected kind of conversations. The kind that could change everything.
\n
\nBut for now… we can’t say much. 👀
\n
\nSo yes — True Crime Travelers is alive, and it’s evolving.
\n
\nThere are changes coming (in the best way), and today’s episode has a couple important announcements. 💌
\n
\nSo here's what you've been asking for: Episode 15 of True Crime Travelers.
\n\n On Episode 15:\nTrigger Warning: today's episode covers a case of a young child. \n \nMadeleine McCann was just three years old when she vanished from her family’s vacation apartment in Portugal. \n \nOne minute she was there—tucked into bed. The next? Gone. \n
\n |
Meanwhile… Emilia and I have been working our butts off for over a year straight, so we’re finally taking a break and playing tourist in Bali.
Snorkeling, eating everything, sweating through spiritual ceremonies—it’s a whole thing.
