Juliana Dever Instagram – How was your summer?
.
I count myself as one of the luckiest people I know.
Yes, I got to spend my summer traveling and enjoying new experiences, but EVEN BETTER??
.
I spent time with some of you – my smart, delightful, kind, generous, adventurous readers!
.
Oh the fun we had!
.
⛵️From sailing across the Baltic Bay in Poland to
.
💃🏻Wearing matching Georgian socks at our impromptu dance party in the mountains,
.
🏰to dining in a castle overlooking Ljubljana, Slovenia…
.
Is this real life???
.
.
But travel can also be tough.
.
After three back to back tours and some time in Albania I tried to get some rest in Montenegro/Croatia/Austria before coming home.
.
What happened?
.
🤮I got food poisoning in Montenegro that knocked me out for 3 days (get yourself a BFF who takes care of you in the grossest of times like @rachelleahcohen ).
.

🫠 Barely made it outside during a really tough heat wave in Europe.
.
🏃🏻‍♀️ Ran around like an Amazing Race contestant in Vienna inspecting hotels, restaurants, walking routes, and meeting with vendors for my upcoming 2023 Christmas Market tour (more on that soon).
.
.
Then I got home after 2 1/2 months only to have hubs book a job and leave for Canada for two weeks
.
So I did what any exhausted, sane person would do… I got on a plane and followed him lol.
.
🇨🇦 Canada started out lovely and then I developed a severe illness. Abroad. Again.
.
After a couple days of agony I got back to the US and saw three different doctors. Without going into boring details they thought it was either a bladder infection, kidney stones, a burst ovarian cyst, or appendicitis.
.
Even though I did ultrasounds, blood tests, and a CT scan nothing was conclusive.
.
This past Wednesday marks the first day I could get out of bed or even look at my phone.
.
I’m sharing all of this because hey, I’ve missed being here and interacting with you all. Life constantly throws unexpected situations at you.
.
I’m ready to get back to work and bring you more juicy travel hacks and the best cultural immersion tours you’ll ever take.
.
So thanks for your patience in my time of silence.
.
