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!

Nov 9, 2026Versatile and Vibrant, Modern Asti Spumante Is Not the Simple Party Fizz of the Past
I recall attending a New Year’s Eve party in my early 20s during which our host walked around at midnight filling guests’ flutes with celebratory toasts of “Champagne” or Asti Spumante. Now, the former wasn’t actually Champagne, just a cheaply made domestic Brut more suited to the budgets of people just entering the workforce. But those of us who liked our bubbly on the drier side preferred it to what we viewed as a sweet, simple Italian quaffer.
