Hello, Hidden Baggage followers & readers!

First and foremost, thank you for being here! We’ve “unpacked” a lot of stories since we launched three weeks ago, and we hope to unpack a lot more as time goes on. So keep sending in your submissions (more on that below).

Although there are a few main Hidden Baggage categories, nothing is off limits (within reason).

Your reading cheat sheet:

— For Mental Health Monday, we talked about the importance of practicing self-care (even in unexpected moments, like unclogging a shower drain).

— On Travel Tuesday, we took a trip to a local park in Prague — after all, you don’t have to go far to see someplace new — and also read Alice Toneatto’s account of what she learned about the UK while living there.

Wallet/Work Wednesday taught us things like how a “free” trial never has to cost you money again … it’s true!

Togetherness Thursday, about relationships of all kinds, reminded us how to be happy for a friend when you’re actually jealous.

— And Galit Birk’s haiku on letting go rounded out Free-For-All-Fridays.

Some posts have already been curated, too, so hopefully we’re doing something right. 😉

Want to submit? Just check out our submission guidelines — we can’t wait to see what kind of stories you “unpack”!

Or think a friend may be interested in reading HB or writing for us? Feel free to share Hidden Baggage with everybody!

Until next time,

Hidden Baggage Editors
