✨ 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.

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.

Belmond's classic river cruises are one of the best ways to explore Europe—here's why I love them:

Small Ships, VIP Experience: Belmond's ships are designed to make you feel like a VIP from the moment you step on board. With fewer guests, you'll enjoy spacious cabins and exclusive access to areas larger ships can't reach.

Unique Itineraries & Private Excursions: Belmond's cruises feature curated itineraries that take you beyond the standard tourist spots: private vineyard tours in Burgundy to exclusive guided walks through medieval Austrian towns.

Gourmet Dining: Dine on regional specialties as you sail through some of Europe's most culinary-rich areas. Enjoy French cuisine on the Rhône, local wines in Tuscany, or discover the regional dishes of Central Europe along the Danube—all with impeccable service.

I just booked clients in at Banyan Tree Mayakoba in Mexico just in time to save them from the winter coats and the snow shovelling.

Now my clients will be soaking up sun, sipping drinks and hitting the spa!

My client her husband will be turning on the “out of office” and unplugging for a week in Mexico at the beautiful Banyan Tree Mayakoba.

And I’m handling all of the details like finding flights, matching them up to the right resort, booking some activities, so their last minute trips will feel way less chaotic.
