A Fresh Look — Plus Even More Content From Us!
Well, hello there, folks! Welcome along to a brand new edition of the tabifolk newsletter. Notice anything different around here?
We’ve recently migrated to Substack, which has helped us centralise all our communication, giving you the option to not only receive our monthly newsletter, but also periodic emails when there’s a new blog post or important updates on tabifolk. If you are a Substack user, you can also, follow us in the app to like and share the content.
This week on social media, we’ve been highlighting a handful of our groups on tabifolk, hoping to remind and inspire others to not only join tabifolk but also join several of the groups that appeal to them. Whether it be the group for vicarious couch travel, hitting the high seas with some accessible cruises, or needing to know how accessible Hobbiton is in our New Zealand group, there really is something for everyone!
Which group is your favorite, and which would you recommend to a friend?
Let’s Get Social!
Are you guys following tabifolk on social media? You can find tabifolk on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and LinkedIn! Your support means a lot, and if you spot a post that resonates with you, a like, comment, or share can help keep the conversation going. 😊
