I'm letting you in on a secret—Mainland Greece needs to be on your radar!

While the islands tend to steal the spotlight, Arcadia on Mainland Greece offers something completely unique. Just two hours from Athens, this peaceful region is all about connecting with nature and slowing down.

At the heart of it all is Manna Arcadia, a stunning retreat that redefines what it means to relax. From its hammam and cave pool to the deck perfect for yoga or stargazing, the wellness hub alone is worth the trip.

If you’re ready to experience a side of Greece that’s completely different—and completely unforgettable—let’s start planning.

Italy continues to be a dream destination year after year. If you’re planning a visit, I highly recommend booking early—and I’ve got the inside track on the best places to stay (and yes, some even have rooftop pools!).

One honorable mention: Anantara Palazzo Naiadi! This 19th-century marble palace on Piazza della Repubblica has it all: spacious rooms with high ceilings, a rooftop pool (a rarity in Rome!), and incredible views. With iconic landmarks like the Trevi Fountain and Colosseum just a short walk away, it’s the perfect base for exploring.

Adventure travel should be as unique as you are, and one size definitely doesn’t fit all.

Working with me means access to private guides, curated itineraries, and tailored experiences that make every moment unforgettable.

Adventure has never felt so seamless or rewarding. Let’s start planning!

Special-event travel is having its moment.

Taylor Swift may have reignited the excitement of planning trips around events, but the idea of turning fixed-date occasions into unforgettable adventures is nothing new to me, and I’ve got some incredible recommendations for your next getaway:

✨ Monaco F1 Grand Prix: Stay aboard the luxury Explora II cruise ship for race week and enjoy Monaco’s glamour in style.

✨ Osaka World’s Fair 2025: Discover groundbreaking innovation, then extend your journey to Kyoto.

With White Lotus’s Season 3 premiere this month, it’s no surprise that Thailand will be topping travel lists everywhere.

I love Thailand – but if you’re interested in Southeast Asia, consider these destinations that are just as fabulous, less crowded, and offer incredible luxury-hotel options:

✨ Laos: Explore Luang Prabang’s temples, cruise the Mekong, and enjoy Laotian-French fusion cuisine.

✨ Cambodia: Catch the sunrise at Angkor Wat, relax on Koh Rong’s beaches, or unwind at one of the many luxury resorts.

✨ Malaysia: Escape to Langkawi’s beaches or experience the culture of Kuala Lumpur.

✨ Indonesia: I’ll show you the best of this iconic destination.

Planning a trip is personal, and when you work with me, it’s about more than just booking flights and hotels. It’s about creating an experience that feels uniquely yours (plus all the extra special touches- room upgrades, resort credits, and perks you won’t find online).

Dreaming of a one-of-a-kind dining experience? I can arrange a private beachfront dinner, a table at a Michelin-starred restaurant, or even a culinary adventure with a local chef.

My job is to take the stress out of travel and turn it into something seamless, meaningful, and unforgettable. Where to next? Let’s make it your best trip yet.

There's something magical about a resort that knows exactly where to place itself. Amanera resort sits 60 feet above Playa Grande, where just 25 casitas enjoy what might be the Caribbean's most spectacular address.

This Dominican Republic property spans 2,000 acres and features a stunning golf course – reimagined by Rees Jones from his father's original design, with more coastal holes than any course in the Western Hemisphere.

The Bay View Pool Casitas is my favorite spot to wake up (even if you sleep through sunrise - no judgment). For pure bliss, head to the spa for their signature Taíno-inspired treatments. A favorite evening ritual? Ordering a hand-rolled cigar and local rum to your private clifftop dinner.

Rio Sagrado is your perfect base for exploring Peru’s Sacred Valley—and just wait until you see the setting. Along the banks of the Urubamba River and surrounded by the Andes, this incredible property lets you experience the magic of the region in style.

Start your day with a scenic train ride to Machu Picchu, a true bucket-list adventure. Explore the ancient ruins, take in the views, and enjoy the quiet moments that make this place unforgettable. Back at Rio Sagrado, relax by the river, enjoy Peruvian dishes made with fresh, local ingredients, or just take in the peaceful beauty of the valley.

The Maldives has no shortage of luxury resorts, but Patina Maldives? It's something special.

Even at full capacity, it feels like your own private island paradise – thanks to cleverly designed spaces and hidden nooks. Nine incredible restaurants, bars, and three food trucks serve up sustainable cuisine all day long. (Don't miss KŌEN: Japanese and Nordic flavors create some of the most memorable meals you'll ever have.)

But here's what really makes me smile: you can help seed coral reefs, care for rescued sea turtles, or spend your afternoon with wild dolphins.

Anyone can visit Sicily—but I’ll help you experience it. With insider access to places like Villa Sant’Andrea, my clients enjoy perks and personal touches no online booking site can provide.

Wake up to ocean views at Villa Sant’Andrea in Taormina, dine at Michelin-starred restaurants or rustic osterias, explore vineyards on Mount Etna, or spend the day boating along Sicily’s stunning coastline.

When you work with me, you’re getting so much more than a vacation—you’re getting an adventure designed just for you. Let’s plan your perfect Sicilian escape.

The Cyclades are stealing the spotlight in 2025, and the iconic Mykonos Blu Hotel (reopening this May) is the perfect spot to soak up this must-visit destination.

I can book you a VIP trip to experience this Greek island paradise. Their Island Bungalows offer unbelievable views, and I love recommending special touches like the Floating Breakfast - served right in your private villa's pool.

Another insider tip? Let me arrange for the hotel's signature 6-hour private driving tour. It's a great way to explore the island!

Here's what I’m excited about for 2025: cruising is getting personal. This year, it's all about smaller ships, thoughtfully curated routes, and meaningful adventures that bring you closer to each destination.

Here's the kind of experience I’m talking about:

Ha Long Bay Heritage Cruise will bring you through Vietnam's legendary islands on a boutique ship that feels more like a floating luxury home. You’ll drift across emerald waters, kayak to hidden lagoons, and spend time with local fishing villages.

Interested in cruising this year? Reach out to explore your options!

Morning volcano hikes and afternoon snorkeling with sea lions? Yes, please! That's just a typical day at Pikaia Lodge in the Galápagos Islands. This eco-luxury lodge sits on top of an ancient volcanic crater, giving you the perfect home base for exploring one of Earth's most adventurous destinations.

The best part? You get to explore by land and sea. Hop on their private yacht to discover different islands, hike volcanic trails that look like another planet, and visit the legendary giant tortoises. After all the adventures, your spacious ocean-view room is just the retreat you need.

Insider Tip: Don't skip the educational programs - they bring the islands' unique wildlife and conservation story to life in ways that captivate both kids and adults.
