As an ultra luxury travel advisor, there’s nothing more satisfying than crafting the perfect getaway for my VIP clients. Harbour Island is convenient for those flying private while having their motor yacht delivered prior to arrival for private daily excursions. Harbour Island has long been the Bahamas’ capital of cool, but The Dunmore, the iconic beach resort on Pink Sand Beach, takes hipness to a whole new level with playful mix of chill and sophistication. Harbour Island is an island off an island—Eleuthera, to be exact. The inaccessibility is the selling point. That’s why a select few billionaires have homes here. Traffic? Not a chance. You zip around in golf carts. With a population of just 1,800, Harbour Island and its sole town, Dunmore Town, make Saint Barts (population 11,000) look like Tokyo at rush hour. #thedunmore #harbourisland #nanknowstravel #spanishwellsbahamas #manisland #luxurytravel #privatejetlife
In Hoonah, Alaska, at Icy Strait Point, I braved what claims to be the World’s Longest Zipline, the Ziprider. I’d say it was also the world’s coldest that day—I felt so frozen, could have passed for an ice sculpture by the end! #ZipRider #hoonahalaska #icystraitpoint #silverseacruises
Picture this: You’re soaring high above Vancouver on the Grouse Mountain gondola. As you take in the breathtaking views, the panoramic vistas of lush forests, sparkling cityscapes, and maybe even a bear or two waving hello from below, you can’t help but feel like you’re living in a real-life fairy tale – with an owl as your wise and feathered sidekick. #vancouver #grousemountain #grizzlybear #adventuretravels
Picture this: You’re gliding through the skies above Vancouver BC on the Grouse Mountain gondola you glide up the mountain, you’re treated to panoramic vistas of lush forests, sparkling cityscapes, and maybe even a bear or two waving hello from below. While on the mountain a pre-arranged owl swoops in on my shoulder, like I am the chosen one in some magical forest tale! Then a grizzly bear pops by to give me a friendly wave from behind the safety of a graby duty fence. It’s like you’ve stumbled into your own wildlife fairy tale. #grousemountain #vancouver #grizzlybear
Ah, Haines, Alaska—Picture this: a place where eagles rule the skies and the rivers flow smoother than a fresh cup of morning coffee.
I joined the “Haines through the Lens” cruise excursion, which was a one-on-one course on I-Phone photography—I picked up some new tricks, like cleaning your lens before snapping a shot. The eagles, bears, moose are the town’s VIPs, acting like they own the place.

UnAlaska Check this out: Dutch Harbor, on Amaknak Island in Unalaska finds itself in the Aleutian Island chain, between Russia and Alaska. Why Unalaska? Maybe they’re giving Alaska the silent treatment like it’s a bad breakup they’d rather forget! Picture this: frolicking in the snow, making snow angels, crafting a snowman, and getting that sensation of fresh snow smacking your face.
Ah, life on the Silversea Silver Shadow World Cruise? Picture this: it's like stepping into a whirlwind of luxury, pampering, exploration, and entertainment while traveling around the globe aboard a floating palace. Imagine waking up each day to lectures on history, the brain, cooking, world affairs, and filmmaking. Ah, your butler with a sixth sense, anticipating your every whim—it's like having your very own member of the royal household! Ah, live performances! One night, it's Broadway; the next, you're mesmerized by a world-class opera baritone whose voice brings tears to your eyes; then add a comedian so funny, you'll laugh until you cry. Then there are the geisha dolls—my quiet confidantes, teaching me the wonders of Japan. #geisha #Japan #aoyama #butler#Silversea #nanknowstravel #luxurytravel #japantravel #worldcruise #luxurytraveladvisor
Japan is a captivating destination with its stunning temples and exquisite gardens that leave a lasting impression. The sights captured in photos and videos truly tell the story of its beauty and grandeur. It’s simply splendid! #nanknowstravel #Japantravel #travelelevates
Tianjin, China: where tradition meets modernity in a clash of epic proportions! This bustling, friendly port city serves as the gateway to Beijing—just a breezy three-hour drive inland (whoever designed that route must’ve had a good laugh!). Tianjin itself has a stunning art museum, charming avenues dubbed the “Fabulous Five,” and the iconic Ancient Culture Street. History- Opium Wars to… the Shi mansion built by a runaway concubine? This place has seen it all! Loved the friendly residents. #tianjin #shimansion #nanknowstravel #luxurytraveladvisor
Picture this: every evening, in Shanghai China the Huangpu River waterfront puts on a show that would make even a disco ball jealous! Dazzling lights dancing across the night sky. The colors switch up like they’re playing musical chairs. I was hypnotized by this technicolor wonderland. #shanghai #nanknowstravel #silverseaworldcruise
