We’re working on Terra Ignota lll right now! It’s one of my favorite projects at Pomelo: a travel and art magazine, expertly designed by @gmusashi and edited by a small team of friends. It’s something you want to keep forever on your coffee table, not the kind of magazine you throw away.
If you want to see your work published, submit your writing, art, poetry, photos right now! The submission period is open until November 2nd. All entries will be considered, submit something! Link on our profile if you want more info about what to submit

Every year in Bali, the sky fills with thousands of vibrant kites—each one more than just a playful creation, but a deeply spiritual offering. These beautifully crafted kites are believed to bring harmony between the people and the divine, with the sound of their movement carrying messages to the gods. 🪁
In Balinese culture, this simple tradition becomes a powerful bridge between heaven and earth, connecting the community to something far greater.

You’ll save hundreds or thousands of dollars. That’s not an exaggeration.
A few months ago, hundreds of subscribers booked $199 round trip flights to Europe, and the flights were nonstop!
JetBlue accidentally sold some fares at an ultra discounted price and we were the first to let people know. Our Premium subscribers saved over $1000 on their flights.
With that deal (and all Pomelo deals) there is no catch. No points or miles. I didn’t have to use a special credit card. I just booked the flights on Priceline.
The secret? *mistake fares*. Sometimes airlines make mistakes and sell flights at deep discounts… up to 90% off regular prices. But you never hear about it! They pop up and only last a few minutes, or a few hours. They are rare and happen at random.
Because they are rare, we almost never send them out to free subscribers like you. Want to be alerted the next time this happens? Sign up for our flight alerts! We’re having a Labor Day Sale of our own. Link in bio!
Since starting Pomelo in 2014 I’ve booked dozens of mistake fares:
Auckland, New Zealand $335 round trip
Oslo, Norway $173 round trip
Cairo, Egypt $277 round trip
Paris, France $157 round trip
and more...
Only a little while left to get Premium alerts at a discount! PREMIUM subscribers get all the mistake fare alerts, and often times they are gone before free subscribers even get a chance to book them. They are rare, but just one could save you thousands of dollars. Hit reply to this email and ask any questions you have about mistake fares, we’re happy to answer them.

“In 2017 my wife and I witnessed a lava “waterfall” flowing into the ocean in Hawaii and since that time we have been waiting for our next chance to see lava up close. When the Fagradalsfjall volcano in Iceland began erupting, we knew we had to see it. We waited and watched but Iceland was not permitting US visitors and it seemed like our chance wouldn’t come. As a premium subscriber I was notified immediately when flights to Iceland resumed for US visitors and was also sent an amazing deal of $450 per person! We immediately booked and were on our way to Iceland a few weeks later. We could see the volcano erupting on our descent into Reykjavik as the sun was rising after our redeye flight. We booked a small plane to fly us over top the volcano and were amazed how each time the volcano would erupt it would jolt our plane 30 feet up in the air. From above we could see just how massive the volcano had become. There were lakes and rivers of lava all around the crater. We later hiked up to the eruption site and walked along the lava flows. We ended up staying all night long and saw 30-40 eruptions. It was a truly incredible experience and one that we may not have had without the help of Pomelo!”
