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.

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.

This year let’s travel with intention. Here a few insider tips for a more meaningful 2025:

Culinary Exploration: Get hands-on with food experiences—try truffle hunting in Croatia, sushi-making workshops in Japan, or a farm-to-table feast in New Zealand.

Slow Travel Adventures: Spend more time truly exploring—like cruising on a canal boat in France, horseback riding in Patagonia, or taking a leisurely road trip around Iceland.

Give Back on Your Journey: Create a positive impact by joining local efforts, like turtle conservation in Sri Lanka or working with artisans in Guatemala.

Unique Stays, Deeper Stories: Opt for accommodations that are an experience themselves—treehouse lodges in Costa Rica, a castle on the Scottish coast, or a glass igloo in Finland.

Let’s get started planning your next big adventure!

Ever feel like your trips fly by too fast? I’m always on the lookout for how to elevate your travel experiences, and I cannot recommend slow travel enough—it’s truly a game-changer.

Instead of racing through destinations, slow travel invites you to settle in. Choose one region to explore deeply, stay in places that feel more like a home than a hotel, and let each day reveal a new layer of local life.

Insider Tip: I can recommend properties that reward longer stays and add experiences like cooking classes or art workshops that connect you to the destination's heart.

Let’s plan your next adventure, one unhurried moment at a time.

Namibia is shaping up to be one of this year’s most exciting eco-adventure destinations, and my partnerships with companies like Wilderness allow me to book private adventures you won't find anywhere else.

New Zealand isn’t just a destination—it’s a journey worth taking now.

Start your day at Rosewood Matakauri, where mornings come with coffee and sweeping views of Lake Wakatipu and snow-capped peaks. But that’s just the beginning.

I’ll design an itinerary filled with extraordinary experiences: private tastings at exclusive vineyards, picnics in the heart of the Southern Alps, and hidden waterfall hikes far from the usual trails.

I’ll arrange private guides, secure visits during quieter times, and customize every detail to turn your trip into something unforgettable.

Travel is changing in exciting ways for 2025. I’m seeing smarter booking systems, personalized wellness-focused stays, and more opportunities to connect deeply with local cultures.

But before you pack those bags, let's talk about some important travel updates and reminders. Have you checked your passport expiration date lately? And if you're heading to the UK, you'll need to apply for their Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) before your trip.

Want to learn more about travel requirements for your next destination? Just reach out! Travel should feel exciting, not overwhelming – that's why working with me makes all the difference.

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.

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.
