1 Year of Ticket to Sarahdise!
Reflecting on 1 year of TTS on Substack
AHH happy anniversary y’all!! 1 whole year, look at us.
I sent my first Substack newsletter on December 16, 2022 and *literally* 52 newsletters later, here we are! I’ve had such a fun time curating and writing these posts every week. Creating content for Ticket to Sarahdise (Substack + TikTok) is my creative outlet outside of my 9-5, and it’s always a treat to research, discover and share Los Angeles through my lens with this community. Thank you for being here!
Moving into year 2 of the newsletter, I hope to expand my niche and start sharing recommendations outside of the greater Los Angeles area. I dabbled with this towards the end of this year with the CA Coast + Mexico City guides and you guys seemed to enjoy that content just as much as the LA content, if not more! I’m always open to suggestions and feedback and would love to hear what you guys want to see more of for the future of TTS.
Before I enter year 2, I’m reflecting on all 52 pieces I’ve published this year - see my top 3 posts along as well as the fulllll list below!
