❌ Don’t write off a cruise just yet — because this might be EXACTLY the trip you need right now. Hear me out:

A cruise is so much more than a ride on a big ship – it’s the only option where you can wake up in a new destination every day, without dealing with airports, packing and unpacking, or sprinting to catch a connection.

Plus, we’re talking amazing food, endless things to do onboard, and the chance to completely unplug from the chaos of everyday life.

And guess what: just got my hands on an amazing cruise deal that you do not want to miss.

Here’s the details:
⛴4 Night Bahamas Cruise on Wonder of the Seas-September 8th-Oceanview Stateroom for $508 per person

Spring is when nature shows off, and some places take it to a whole new level.

Think cherry blossoms so stunning they don’t look real, tulip fields that stretch for miles, and hidden spots where spring flowers steal the show.
I help my clients lock in the best stays and experiences for these once-a-year spectacles, and if you want front-row seats to the magic, it’s not too late to plan.

Here are my top recommendations for this year:

🌸 Kyoto, Japan – Kyoto in cherry blossom season? Unreal. Ancient temples framed in pink, lantern-lit festivals, and hanami picnics under the petals. Timing is everything—I make sure my clients hit peak bloom for the most breathtaking views.

🌷 Amsterdam & Keukenhof, Netherlands – Tulip season is legendary here, but there’s a difference between seeing the flowers and experiencing them. I arrange private bike rides through the fields, VIP Keukenhof access, and the best boutique stays away from the crowds.

🌼 Washington, D.C., USA – The National Cherry Blossom Festival is stunning, but if you want picture-perfect views without the tourist chaos, location and timing are key. I help my clients score the best spots, from festival events to exclusive hotels near the Tidal Basin.

🌺 Provence, France – Spring in Provence means rolling fields of wildflowers, early lavender blooms, and the most scenic vineyard road trips. Add in boutique stays and incredible food, and it’s a spring dream done right.

These springtime moments don’t last long so prepping ahead of time is key. It’s not too late to lock in an adventure for this year, or if you want in for 2026, let’s get it locked in now.

DM me, and I’ll handle the details!

Iceland in the summer feels like a cheat code for adventure. From late May to early August, the sun never fully sets.

No rushing to squeeze everything in before dark, no cutting your day short—just endless golden light stretching way past midnight.

That means you can be standing under Seljalandsfoss at 11 PM, hiking a volcanic trail long after dinner, or floating in a geothermal lagoon while the sky glows in shades of pink and gold.

It’s not just about seeing Iceland, it’s about experiencing it without the usual time constraints.

But fair warning, this is the kind of trip you don’t want to wing.

The best experiences happen when you know where to go, when to go, and how to make the most of those extra hours of daylight.

That’s where I come in. I plan Iceland trips that aren’t just about ticking off sights, they’re about getting you in the right place at the right time for the most unreal moments.

So if you’re into the idea of exploring one of the most otherworldly places on Earth — at literally any hour of the day — let’s talk. DM me, and let’s make Iceland happen.

Spring flings aren’t just about romance. Sometimes they’re about falling in love with a place.

You know the feeling. That moment when you step off the plane, take a deep breath, and instantly know — this place is special. Maybe it’s the way the sun hits the water, the charm of a little café tucked on a quiet street, or the way the locals make you feel like you belong.

Have you ever fallen head over heels for a destination? The kind that lingers in your mind like a great love story? Share in the comments!

The Greek Island to visit when you want all the beauty but none of the chaos👇
That would be (drumroll please)..... Naxos.

When most people think of the Greek Islands they picture a Santorini sunset or nightlife in Mykonos, but let me tell you a little bit more about Naxos, because I’m in love!

Naxos has golden beaches to kick back and relax on, cute little mountain villages to stroll through, and of course, all of the gorgeous sunsets and delicious Greek food like the other islands.

When clients want to hop through the Greek Islands but want a bit more of a peaceful experience, I always recommend Naxos as a pitstop.

✅ Beachfront dinners.
✅ Peaceful hikes.
✅ Sunday strolls to mountain villages.
✅ Olive oil tasting.

It’s perfect!

As far as planning goes, I can help with laying out your itinerary and getting the logistics booked (things like hotels, rental cars, ferry tickets, etc).

Have you been to Naxos? What did you think of the island?

POV: It’s five years from now, and you’re thinking about the trip you almost took, but didn’t.

The kids were “too young.” Work was too “hectic.” Life was too busy.

But here’s the thing: life will always be busy.

The kids won’t always be little.

And the perfect time? It’s a myth.

The moments that stick with you aren’t on your to-do list. They’re in the sandcastle-building competitions, the belly laughs over melting ice cream, and the way their little hands reach for yours on an adventure far from home.

So if you’ve been waiting for a sign — this is it. Book the trip. Make the memory. Because one day, when they’re all grown up, you’ll be so grateful you did.

What’s one trip you’ve always wanted to take with the kids? ⬇️

Italy? No thanks ✋Here’s where I’m recommending instead ⬇️

Sometimes, skipping the “it” destination of the year is the best move you can make.

Take Italy — stunning, yes, but it’s bracing for massive crowds this season thanks to the Italian Jubilee.

Instead, I’m pointing my clients to equally enchanting spots like Croatia.

From crystal-clear waters to charming coastal towns, Croatia is a dream destination waiting to be explored 🌊✨ Whether you're soaking up history in ancient cities, relaxing on sun-kissed beaches, or hiking through stunning national parks, this hidden gem has something for every kind of traveler.

Travel should feel like you’re making one of your dreams come true, not like you‘re stuck in the human version of Tetris.

Let’s brainstorm ideas about where you should go this year. Let me know what‘s high on your travel list for 2025 in the comments.

Five family-focused resorts in the Caribbean and Mexico that, in my opinion, get it right.

These are picks I love recommending to my clients because they always deliver for kids, parents, and everyone in between.

➡️ Beaches Negril, Jamaica – This is the resort that understands family vacations. Kids get a waterpark, an Xbox lounge, and non-stop activities, while parents get a spa, an adults-only pool, and a beachfront setting that’s actually relaxing. It’s that rare all-inclusive where everyone, from toddlers to teens to adults, is happy.

➡️ The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman – If you want a family getaway without sacrificing luxury, this is where you go. The kids’ club keeps little ones entertained with treasure hunts and kayaking lessons, while parents unwind at the adults-only pool or world-class spa. And let’s not forget: it’s on Seven Mile Beach, one of the most stunning stretches of sand in the Caribbean.

➡️ Atlantis Paradise Island, Bahamas – If your kids dream of a vacation where they never say “I’m bored,” Atlantis is the answer. The Aquaventure water park, marine habitat, and endless activities mean they’re always entertained, while parents can sneak away to the private beaches, fine dining, or the massive Mandara Spa.

➡️ The Fives Beach Hotel & Residences, Riviera Maya, Mexico – A hidden gem for families who want a mix of all-inclusive ease and spacious, family-friendly suites. The supervised kids’ club keeps little ones entertained, while parents can escape to the adults-only beach club or gourmet dining experiences. It’s low-key, stylish, and perfect for families who want options.

➡️ Franklyn D. Resort & Spa, Jamaica – This is the only resort where every family gets their own vacation nanny—yes, really. That means parents get built-in help while kids have a blast with activities, watersports, and supervised fun.

And a huge bonus when you book any of these resorts? Planning the trip doesn’t have to become a second job.

Remember the freedom of spring break when we were kids when life was all about sandcastles, ice cream, and staying up late with your siblings?

Makes you feel a little nostalgic, doesn‘t it?

Now, as adults, spring break looks a little different — it’s more about unplugging, reconnecting, and finding a slice of calm in the chaos of life (in between buying the ice cream and finding the shovels for the sandcastles).

And speaking of spring break, it’s just around the corner. Are you escaping anywhere or staying put?

03/19/2025

You know that first perfect spring day?

The one where you step outside, and the sun actually feels warm? It’s like the world is waking up, and suddenly, you remember what it’s like to sit outside with a coffee, take a walk just because, or plan something fun for the months ahead.

That feeling?

It’s the same one I get when I help people plan their next getaway. The kind of trip that makes you excited just thinking about it. The kind that reminds you how good it feels to break out of routine and just go.

So, let’s play a game—if you could be anywhere in the world right now, soaking up that sunshine, where would it be? Drop it in the comments! ☀️

What’s the REAL Difference Between a three, four, and five-star hotel?
Let me break it down for you:

⭐ 3-Star Hotels – Think Holiday Inn, Courtyard by Marriott.
Three-star hotels major on being the comfortable & functional option for travelers. Expect on-site dining, standard rooms, and solid service, but don’t count on luxury perks like room service or spas.

⭐ 4-Star Hotels – Think Westin, Hyatt Regency, Kimpton.
Four-star hotels are a step up in style, service & amenities. You’ll find upscale décor, concierge service, multiple dining options, pools & fitness centers. Rooms are typically more spacious with premium bedding.

⭐ 5-Star Hotels – Think Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis.
This is the ultimate luxury experience. Expect personalized service, Michelin-star dining, designer interiors, world-class spas, and exclusive experiences. The difference? Every detail is crafted around your comfort, privacy, and experience

Pro Tip: Star ratings aren’t always universal.
A 4-star hotel in Europe might feel more like a 3.5-star in the U.S. (or vice versa). That’s where expert guidance truly does come in to help you find the right fit for you.

If you’ve been on the fence about a certain hotel, send me a DM and let’s chat about how I can match you to the best properties for your style and budget.

Everyone’s crammed into the same hotspots, fighting for the best photo angles and dinner reservations. But you? You’re sipping wine at a quiet seaside café, wandering cobblestone streets all to yourself.

Let’s talk about my favorite spots this year that’ll give you that European summer, but without the overpriced cocktails and shoulder-to-shoulder crowds.

➡️ Tavira, Portugal
If the Algarve is on your radar but the packed beaches aren’t, Tavira is your spot. It’s got all the euro charm — cobblestone streets, a medieval castle, flamingos (!) in the salt marshes, and quiet, golden-sand beaches like Praia do Barril. Plus, your budget will go so much further here than in the typical Algarve hotspots.

➡️ Kotor, Montenegro
While everyone flocks to Dubrovnik, Kotor quietly sits on one of the most stunning bays in Europe. Picture dramatic mountain backdrops, winding medieval streets, and scenic hikes that reward you with jaw-dropping views over the Bay of Kotor, without the Game of Thrones crowds. Bonus: it’s super affordable compared to Croatia.

➡️ Castellina in Chianti, Italy
Everyone rushes to Florence and Siena, but Castellina in Chianti is one of those hilltop towns where you can still enjoy a glass of wine without battling selfie sticks. Surrounded by rolling vineyards, medieval walls, and some of the best Tuscan food you’ll ever eat, it’s a quiet little escape in the heart of Chianti wine country.

➡️ Šibenik, Croatia
Dubrovnik might get all the attention, but Šibenik? So underrated. Šibenik has a thriving food scene, with fresh seafood and local wines that rival its more famous neighbors. Plus, it’s the perfect base for taking a boat trip through Krka National Park, where you can actually swim under waterfalls.
