Officially āIn My Bridgerton Era.ā š«š¬š§ Thereās no place thatās the epitome of British tradition and elegance than The Ritz London. And thereās no experience that is more quintessentially British than their afternoon tea experience. Yes, thereās plenty of hotels that offer afternoon tea, but none compare to sitting in the ornate and opulent surroundings of The Palm Court at The Ritz. This is a timeless tradition sought after by Londoners, and you surprisingly wonāt find many tourists here besides locals and the lucky guests who are staying at the hotel.Itās also the perfect excuse to get classy. You dress to impress when you come here, (which I love) because itās one of the few places who have actually kept with tradition. As you nibble on an array of sandwiches, delicate pastries, and loose-leaf tea served in fine china, youāre memorized by all the grandeur, the flawlessly coordinated service, and soothing melodies of a live pianist. A huge thank you to the team at The Ritz for hosting us for this special experience. š« š„Ŗ š®

Cap Juluca, A Belmond Hotel always delivers with the WOW factor on arrival. Itās the perfect choice for honeymooners or anyone seeking luxury and beachfront seclusion. I personally think Anguilla has some of the top beaches in all of the Caribbean, and thatās coming from someone who has been all over.Letās get you to this secret paradise asap! āļø šļø
If you havenāt figured it out already, Iām a bit of a boutique hotel addict, and I absolutely love discovering those tucked away hidden spots that no one else seems to know about. Luckily for you, I stay āin the knowā and can help you find those special secret gems! For me, itās not about the star rating as much as the full experience you get, starting with the moment you step onto the property. A recent favorite is this chic and cozy spot nestled in Torrent, Spain. Only an hour and a half from Barcelona, you can retreat to this farmhouse-vibe hotel and have access to countless wineries, charming cities like Girona and Figueres, and the beaches of the Costa Brava all at your fingertips. You can make yourself at home and relax at the spa on-site and take in the pretty views of your garden or private plunge pool right from your room. You can also count on the gastronomy being delicious as this is a Relais & Chateaux affiliated hotel. Itās a real pearl waiting to be discovered in Catalonia!
Walking into 2024 likeā¦ š¶ āØ 2023 was an epic year of travel and growth. I built upon my luxury expertise, forged many new partnerships, and gained even more first-hand experience. My business has continued to skyrocket in year two, and Iām excited to see whatās in store this year.š Iām not going to throw out numbers cause thatās not my style, but my favorite places for 2023 were Costa Rica, Africa, Turks & Caicos, Anguilla, Lake Como and Paris/South of France. š My clients were quite the world travelers and took trips to Thailand, South Africa, Turks & Caicos, Spain, Italy, Hawaii, Mexicoā¦ to name a few!TBH, this past year wore me out! My overachiever self took on way too much (per usual š), and Iām frankly exhausted. Iām determined to be better this year with saying No. Ha. š I hope to find more balance, reconnect and travel more with friends and family, and just slow down and be present. I miss my people, and I want to focus on nurturing relationships that Iāve let slide. šOne thing Iām done with is wasted time. This means improving my work flow, setting clearer boundaries and expectations, and working harder to vet clients. Your time is valuable, and so is mine. Iād rather take on less trips with the right clients than more with the wrong ones. I want to focus on what I do best- which is being your luxury travel expert and curating those personalized experiences. š One of my other goals is to encourage people to visit more hidden gems and off the beaten path places. I also hope to bring more transformative experiences to my clients. Africa was such a life-changing trip for me, and I want to lead others to have similar and more impactful experiences.šFor personal goals, I want to read more books and write more in some capacity. Writing was always my other passion, and Iāve let it slip away. I hope to find my way back to it.š2024, Iām ready for you!!! š
Well this one was easy. Africa was indeed my most epic trip of the year. You think you know an amazing view until you see Africa. From the Coast, to the Winelands, to Victoria Falls, to the sights on safari, and all those incredible elephant momentsš, Africa wins it all hands down! Africa is an experience, and itās one that deeply hits your soul. Honestly just thinking about it and revisiting my videos makes me emotional š„¹. I know that sounds cheesy, but those of you who have been there understand this. You take a piece of it home with you. If thereās one place everyone should visit, it should šÆ be Africa. Iād love to help get you on Safari and design your trip of a lifetime. This is a trip that requires very advanced planning, and Iām here and ready to help you get started.
Choosing the Best Beach Destination is tough, but for me, Anguilla takes the cake this year. It is all about the beach on Anguilla, and honestly it may be one of the Caribbeanās best kept secrets. šļøšļøšļøIt has some of the most pristine and secluded beaches in the entire Caribbean and also some of the best luxury resorts. And this is coming from someone who is the biggest beach snob youāll ever meet! If youāre looking for a āscene,ā this would not be the place. But if you love chilling on endless stretches of white powdery sand with the backdrop of the prettiest turquoise water, then Anguilla would be up your alley. For my beach lovers out there, Anguilla is calling your name! And I know just the girl to help get you there. šš»āāļø@belmondcapjuluca @malliouhana @zemibeachhouse @auroraanguilla
Did you know Costa Rica was named Destination of the Year 2024 by Travel + Leisure? And I have to agree! Costa Rica is just magical in every way. Itās a place that really ticks every box, especially for adventure and nature lovers! It also wins with its number of luxury boutique gems. There are some truly special and intimate hideaways nestled throughout the country. If you love adventure and boutique hotels, then you are seriously missing out if you havenāt made it to this incredible destination. Put it on your list and give me a call when youāre ready to start planning!
To wrap up this epic year of traveling, I wanted to highlight some of my favorite destinations and why that particular place wins a medal in my book for 2023. Starting with the Award for the Best All-Inclusive Private Island Resortā¦(drumroll)ā¦Ambergris Cay! š“š“š“Turks and Caicos is my top choice for the Caribbean, but where it really shines is with its private islands. Ambergris is a secret haven, and everyone who visits this resort falls in love with its laidback, barefoot luxury vibes. When your clients tell you consistently āit was the best vacation theyāve ever taken,ā that truly says it all. This is a different type of all-inclusive where you have access to a full premium a la carte menu, and I can personally attest that the dining is phenomenal! A visit to the floating tiki bar also canāt be missed!You canāt beat the exclusive feel of this place and with their stunning villas and beachfront bungalows, you feel like you have this special island retreat all to yourself. Ambergris Cay is Paradise Found. š šļø
Everyone has their favorite fall destinations, but I can bet thereās one that hasnāt crossed your mind. Costa Rica! šØš· It may not be the first place you think about for a fall getaway, but it should be.The fall months are peak green season on the Pacific side of Costa Rica. Itās a great time to take advantage of fewer crowds and lower hotel rates. While it is more humid, the mornings are sunny and perfect for excursions, while the rain showers in the afternoons cool things off and allow time for a siesta. With the rainier season comes more lush surroundings and fuller waterfalls and rivers, and it brings the rainforest alive with even more wildlife. This is why itās also called wildlife season. There are special sightings during this time, such as turtles nesting on the beaches and the migration of humpback whales. If youāre an adventure and wildlife lover looking for a chill fall getaway that wonāt break the bank, then I highly recommend visiting Costa Rica. You really canāt go wrong visiting any time of the year though.
