So wonderful to be quoted by CNBC as we discuss trips that are booking up WELL in advance, including African safaris.

Anyone who knows me will tell you that I'd be on safari at pretty much any opportunity. We've made trips to Africa a priority, visiting once per year - from Tanzania and Kenya to South Africa and the Congo - for the past 7 years. It's simply the best, and it's an experience I recommend to everyone (also, gorilla trekking is a must in my book). If you're considering Africa in 2023, let's get the convo rolling now - many amazing small camps see bookings 12 - 18+ months in advance. 🌍

If you could hop on a plane to Africa, where would you pick as your safari destination?

This week we celebrated National Plan for Vacation Day but you guys... shouldn't that be every day?! Part of the fun of travel is daydreaming about a destination, getting excited about the details and moments to come, plus it's always motivating to have something to look forward to in the future. ✨

Which destinations are on your list this year? ⇣

LET'S TALK 2022 TRAVEL! 🛫

Which destinations are getting lots of love this year? Here's a glimpse into what we're seeing on the travel front:

🧿 GREECE 〰️ Greece had a major moment last year and it's popping up again as a must-visit in 2022 for many travelers seeking a European sun + sand vacay this summer. The beauty is that an island-hopping itinerary can take many forms so a trip to the Greek Isles can really be uniquely yours.

🐠 MALDIVES + SEYCHELLES 〰️ Those bucket list romantic escapes, including honeymoons + anniversaries, have been waylayed for many travelers over the past couple of years. It's no wonder dreamy far-flung island escapes are top of mind!

🍝 ITALY 〰️ Who are we kidding? Italy is always top of mind and is constantly one of the most requested regions I work with. Whether it's the Amalfi Coast + Capri for a summery beach getaway, a food and wine-fueled adventure through Tuscany, or an expedition into a new-to-you region (hello Puglia and Piemonte), Italy has SO much on offer within its unique 20 regions.

🌿 SRI LANKA 〰️ Lush escapes that blend nature, wildlife, wellness and culture bring together the best of everything, and Sri Lanka is amongst the faves for those looking for a destination that inspires and fuels travelers looking for something off-the-beaten-path.

🧘🏼‍♀️ WELLNESS AROUND THE GLOBE 〰️ A topic that is border-free, wellness-focused travel has taken root in a major way as travelers look to refuel mentally and physically. For those looking to stick closer to home this year, there are some stunning domestic escapes to add to your list for some much-needed self-care.

Are any of the above on your wishlist for 2022? Which destinations are you looking to add to your itinerary this year? 👇🏼

Okay, okay, I know talking about insurance seems like the world's most boring topic but in today's world, it's a critical convo. One of the biggest concerns I see from travelers is testing positive abroad and getting stuck internationally. Honestly? It's a legit concern.

Up now, I'm sharing the solution I propose to almost all of my international clients: it allows you to be airlifted home after a positive test without needing to be hospitalized. Even if you've booked your trip on your own, I'm happy to help with more info for this coverage as I think it's *such* a game-changer for peace of mind for travelers.

〰️ ᴀғʀɪᴄᴀ ᴛʀᴀᴠᴇʟ ᴛᴀʟᴋ 〰️

I just finished putting together an itinerary for a family heading out to Kenya + Uganda in 2022 and I’m simultaneously excited and jealous! I ADORE my visits to Africa - anywhere, anytime! - but this journey includes the Masai Mara for the Great Migration and gorilla trekking in Uganda. It’s a hard combo to beat!

If Africa is on your wishlist, in last week’s newsletter I shared insight on Africa travel planning including info on seasonality, which destinations are right for you, how long to allocate and… drumroll… what to budget!

Wandering the streets of Orvieto. 💕

If you’re on my mailing list, you saw this week’s email where I spoke a bit about Tuscany and its many faces, from traditional countryside to city to seaside. One of the things that keeps me coming back to Italy in general — this is a common sentiment from you guys, too — is how regionally diverse this country is. With 20 regions to uncover, there’s enough to keep you coming back on the regular with new experiences each time.

Umbria is one of Italy’s 20 regions and is on the rise in popularity with towns like Assisi, Perugia, Spoleto, and Orvieto topping the list.

Italy’s diversity makes it super tempting to be on the go constantly to take it all in but if time permits, try to linger longer to get a feel for each region. A week between Umbria + Tuscany allows for dreamy countryside experiences with historic towns, gorgeous architecture, great wine, regional cuisine, and views for days. ✨

Where are my wine lovers at?! 🍷

We landed in Italy on Tuesday and headed straight up to Tuscany to explore the southern part of the region where Brunello and Vino Nobile dominate the scene. One thing that I love about Tuscany as a wine destination is that it goes far beyond vino: charming hilltop towns, stunning vistas, warm and genuine hospitality, rich history, and incredible cuisine and traditions.

Interested in a Tuscan getaway? For couples, there are some beautiful properties designed for romantic escapes. For families, groups and multigen trips, we can look at villas for a home away from home for your crew in the Tuscan countryside.

Is Tuscany on your wishlist for 2022? Shoot me a message so we can brainstorm your escape! 📧

GREECE IS THE WORD. 🇬🇷

I have had so much fun designing + planning Greece itineraries for getaways this season! Whether it’s a family trip, a getaway with friends, or a romantic escape, Greece really offers something for everyone and continues to be one of my all-time favorite destinations.

For summer, it’s hard to beat the islands! Once we’ve picked the islands that are right for you and your travel style, we’ll start weaving in experiences. There are boat trips, cooking classes, wine tastings, historic tours, and so much more to consider incorporating to round out your trip. Is Greece on your list for this summer? Send me a message so we can start planning your adventure!

It's !

If spotting wildlife on a future trip is on your radar, let’s chat! I’ve always found my wildlife interactions some of the most powerful and inspiring. A few trips we can plan for a future getaway:

🐆 Safari in East or Southern Africa - observe these amazing animals in the wild with game drives, walking safaris, balloon rides, and horseback riding safaris. The Great Migration gets lots of love (and it IS spectacular) but there are amazing opportunities year-round.

🦍 Gorilla trekking in Uganda, Rwanda, or the DRC - my favorite wildlife experience ever, and the #1 thing I recommend to everyone!

🐘 Walk with elephants in northern Thailand - there are a number of sanctuaries working with wildlife in a sustainable way.

🧜🏼‍♀️ If you’re focused on life under the sea, we can plan a trip focused on snorkeling and diving, plus there are great opportunities to get involved with turtle and shark tagging with researchers!

Where are my wildlife lovers at? Shoot me a message if you’d like to start chatting about your upcoming adventure!
