People We Meet on Vacation

About

Poppy Wright never expected a love story to happen between airports. She grew up believing that joy lived in departure gates, hotel balconies, rooftop bars, and the strangers who shared their stories over cheap wine and borrowed swimsuits. She built a career out of writing about vacation — but somewhere between flight itineraries and travel deadlines, she stumbled into something she didn’t know how to write about at all. It started as friendship — a quiet, persistent kind — stretched across summers, cities, and the rituals of travel that blurred the lines between adventure and intimacy. One year it was Greece, the next was Austin, then the California coast, where a hotel mix-up turned into a night too honest to forget. Every new destination made the unspoken harder to ignore, and every return flight made it harder to admit what everyone else could already see. People We Meet on Vacation traces the years before anyone said the word love, and the fallout after someone finally did. Told through travel notes, messages, and glimpses of two lives too busy running to pause for clarity, it reveals that the most important journeys do not require passports — only timing, courage, and someone worth arriving for.
