If You Want to Be Luckier In Life...

If You Want to Be Luckier in Life, Start Increasing Your Surface Area

Hi Friends!

In honor of St. Patrick's Day, I felt it was only right to write a post about...well...LUCK!

You know how there are those people who just seem like they're luckier than others? Some people just seemed to stumble into the right opportunities, meet the right people, or be in the right place at the right time. Meanwhile, the rest of us are just…waiting.

It all seems somewhat unfair. But recently, I came across a concept that completely changed how I think about all of it: increasing your surface area for luck.

The idea is simple, yet life-changing. The more you put yourself out there, try new things, and share what you’re doing with others, the more opportunities you create for “lucky” moments to find you. (In other words…maybe luck isn’t so random after all!)

In this post, you'll read about:

  • What “surface area for luck” actually means
  • How I’ve unintentionally used this concept in my own travels and life
  • Simple ways you can start increasing your own surface area (starting now!)

Wishing you a little extra luck today!

Oh hi! I'm Gina. I create aesthetic travel guides and itineraries for women who want to see the world (and look good doing it). Additionally, I also coach solo female travelers to feel confident exploring the world on their own. I plan the kind of trips where every stop feels like a main character moment—equal parts iconic, effortless, and very well-documented. Consider me your unofficial travel planner, hype girl, and “should we get another glass?” enabler.

I took my first trip Japan last month with my friend Rachel and was absolutely mind-blown. Between the food, the culture, and the people, it's safe to say Japan is a country I will definitely be returning to in the future. Rachel and I started our trip in Kyoto, the Japanese city with the most temples. Visiting the temples and shrines and learning about...
