🌍 Overseas Intercontinental Travel + Event Planning

🟢 Status: Early planning for summer 2026
🟡 Goal: Prepare for my next overseas journey that combines travel with a weekend intercontinental West Coast Swing event.
⏭️ Next Steps:

  • Identify potential event opportunities abroad

  • Research destinations that align with both travel and event timing

  • Budget for flights, lodging, event passes, and local exploration

📝 Notes: I love blending event weekends with cultural exploration. It makes the trip both purposeful and adventurous.

Travel Project Updates


📌 September 2025 Status

  • I’ve narrowed down a few weeks next summer that I will be traveling overseas.

  • Only a few WCS events have updated their websites so I’m going to prioritize/reinforce those.

  • Also low-key hoping I can crash my friends’ relocated place in the UK for more travel intent and purpose. They haven’t even moved yet 🤞🏽

🎯 Goals for This Phase

  1. Track flights and pricing details

  2. Keep tabs on the WSDC events calendar

  3. Start saving for expenses

✅ Progress Since Update

Realized many WCS events don’t update next year’s events with a save-the-date. Shout out to these international events on top of their stuff:

🔜 Next Steps

  • Research the event’s local social dances before/after the weekend event

  • Connect with my newlywed friends who may be relocating to the UK in 2026 so I can crash visit!
