    Hi There,

    We are two Australian who are booked in and ready for our first Burning Man.

    We would love to join a group, however, with the exception of reading everything possible, don’t know how to join or what the process is, or even if it’s possible.

    Can you help?

    Regards,
    Anthony

    • You can research Theme Camps you might be interested in joining and reach out to see their requirements for contributions and if they have space or are taking “virgins.” Your own network is typically best for finding cool camps that are excited to welcome first-timers. It looks like there’s a regional Australia community that might be a good resource to reach out to https://regionals.burningman.org/regionals/australasia/australia/ My friends run camp Bang Bang and there are a lot of Australians so they might also be a good camp to reach out to http://www.campbangbang.com/

    FYI- you absolutely CAN NOT skydive INTO burning man.

    If you are a liscenced skydiver woth 200+ jumps you can register with Burning Sky- the skydiver camp. To skydive AT burning man you must drive in, through the gate, with all your gear and a ticket and can then (once you check in at camp with all your skydiving credentials and a valid in date FAA reserve card) take off from the burning man airport and then jump over burning man and land back at the event. Once you land, you can expect rangers to possibly ask for your ticket to make sure you are legitamitaly allows to be there. 🙂

      Hi Cyn, thank you for the comment! I’ve updated the post—I missed that part when chatting with the folks that did it!

Here’s how we spent a weekend in Philadelphia #MarriottHotelsPartner 
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••⁠
We were lucky enough to stay at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, located right in the heart of the city! From there, we made sure to see the best the city had to offer families:

🥞 Breakfast at The Pantry (inside the Marriott!)
🖐️ Please Touch Museum
🔔 The Liberty Bell + Independence Hall
🍲 Lunch at Reading Terminal Market
💦 Splash time at Sister Cities Park
🧬 Visit the Franklin Institute
🏮 Chinese Lantern Festival in Franklin Square (annual summer event)

There’s so much for families to do in Philadelphia and being a Marriott Bonvoy member makes it so much more accessible. 

From the location to having toddler amenities on-hand and staff who actually understand what traveling with a toddler is like — it’s those small comforts that make a huge difference on family trips.

Thank you for the stay @MarriottHotels!

I wanted to make history come alive for Ollie and what better place than in Philadelphia, USA? #MarriottHotelsPartner

Our stay at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown created the perfect opportunity to really explore the heart of this historical city. From the Liberty Bell to Franklin Square, we really dove into the heart and culture of Philadelphia.

After a day of exploring, we were treated with some of Philadelphia’s finest delicacies at Marriott’s Thirteen Restaurant.

We stayed cool on our trip by bowling a few games at Liberty Lanes, the hotel’s on-site, retro bowling alley. Did I mention there was even an arcade??

And after a long day, we were soothed by the many comforts and amenities Marriott has to offer.

Traveling with little ones isn’t always easy, but being a Marriott Bonvoy member truly
makes it so much smoother.

From comfy cribs already in the room to friendly staff who actually get what traveling with a toddler is like, Marriott Hotels takes so much stress off our trips. It’s the little things that make a big difference when you’re on the go with a little one!

Thank you for the stay @MarriottHotels!

Did you know that 1 in 4 flights are delayed or canceled? It’s enough to make you go mad… unless of course you have @airhelp!

AirHelp is a flight & claim tracker app that is a complete lifesaver on travel days helping me...

✔️ Track unlimited flights (no ads, no limits)
✔️ Get real-time updates for gates, terminals, and baggage claim details
✔️ Receive automatic alerts if I’m eligible for flight compensation
✔️ See my travel history log with a built-in travel map (my favorite part)

Honestly, I wish I had this app sooner! It would’ve been a game-changer on long-haul flights with my toddler. Whether you’re a frequent flyer or just planning your next adventure, this is one of the smartest tools you can have on your phone.

Download the @airhelp app today and fly with peace of mind.
