Experience Turks and Caicos is thrilled to announce a significant surge in air arrivals from the United Kingdom to the Turks and Caicos Islands, marking a positive turn in our tourism landscape. While the United States remains our primary tourism source, the rise in visitors from the UK during the initial months of this year is truly encouraging. From January to March 2024, we welcomed 3,946 arrivals from the UK and Europe, representing a remarkable 105.4% increase compared to the same period in 2023. This surge can largely be attributed to the launch of Virgin Atlantic’s non-stop flight from Heathrow, London to Providenciales on November 4th, 2023.
This Memoir By Helene Sula May Inspire Travel And Major Life Changes
08.04.2024 - 06:11 / forbes.com
Helene Sula is perhaps best known for her very successful travel blog, Helene in Between, which she runs with her husband Michael Sula. The two travel the world and share their adventures with hundreds of thousands of people who read their blog and follow them on social media.
Helene has now written a travel memoir, Two O’Clock on a Tuesday at Trevi Fountain: A Search for an Unconventional Life Abroad. She shared with me, “Writing a book has always been a huge dream of mine. But if I'm honest, I always imagined it would be fiction. Then when I started sharing my story of moving abroad to Germany and starting a business as a content creator more and more online, my Instagram kind of exploded, I started realizing that my story could help others. Not just if they are interested in moving abroad, but going for their dreams, starting a business, traveling, or taking risks.”
Helene’s husband Michael told me, “I admire the honesty and vulnerability with which the story is told, and I know it will resonate with anyone looking for inspiration to make bold choices in life. I see it as a testament to our journey together, filled with challenges, triumphs, and the lessons learned along the way.”
Helene has always been passionate about not only storytelling but also about helping others, and it shines through in her blog and her new book. Here’s what else she shared with me about her riveting memoir.
What would you say is your true passion and how does that inform all the work you do?
I'd say my largest passion is telling stories and being able to teach and encourage others to tell theirs. I find that travel, for me, makes for incredible storytelling and it helps me to step outside of my comfort zone.
What do you think might surprise readers about your new book?
The number of failures I had, including getting fired, failed businesses, and failed visas. Life is about failing, and then picking yourself up and to just keep trying.
If you were to write a "Dear Reader" note to those who read your book, what is one piece of advice you'd like to give them?
Your dreams matter, but you won't achieve any of them if you don't at least try. I am a fearful person. I don't like change. I always thought I'd stay in my hometown of Dallas, Texas. But when I left, I realized it wasn't that scary. The same goes for starting a business. Scary things are worth it, especially when you take a calculated risk. I thought to live abroad I'd need to give everything up. I didn't! You can have stability and adventure.
How has it surprised you?
Through writing, I really was able to realize how many experiences I never digested. We moved right after my husband lost his mother to cancer. We are high school sweethearts, so she'd been

This Major U.S. Airport Was Just Named the Busiest in the World
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) has once again been crowned the busiest airport in the world, serving a whopping 104.6 million travelers in 2023. The Airports Council International (ACI), the trade association of the world’s airports, published its annual rankings on Monday. Most notably, Atlanta’s international airport saw an 11.7% increase in traffic from the previous year when it also ranked as the busiest airport in the world. The demand for domestic flights remained robust, with ACI’s report indicating a recovery of 96.8% of the 2019 passenger traffic level. However, the most encouraging trend was the resurgence of international air travel, which experienced a robust 36.5% growth and welcomed 90.4% of passengers from pre-pandemic numbers in 2019.
