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.

There's something magical about a resort that knows exactly where to place itself. Amanera resort sits 60 feet above Playa Grande, where just 25 casitas enjoy what might be the Caribbean's most spectacular address.

This Dominican Republic property spans 2,000 acres and features a stunning golf course – reimagined by Rees Jones from his father's original design, with more coastal holes than any course in the Western Hemisphere.

The Bay View Pool Casitas is my favorite spot to wake up (even if you sleep through sunrise - no judgment). For pure bliss, head to the spa for their signature Taíno-inspired treatments. A favorite evening ritual? Ordering a hand-rolled cigar and local rum to your private clifftop dinner.

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!

Morning volcano hikes and afternoon snorkeling with sea lions? Yes, please! That's just a typical day at Pikaia Lodge in the Galápagos Islands. This eco-luxury lodge sits on top of an ancient volcanic crater, giving you the perfect home base for exploring one of Earth's most adventurous destinations.

The best part? You get to explore by land and sea. Hop on their private yacht to discover different islands, hike volcanic trails that look like another planet, and visit the legendary giant tortoises. After all the adventures, your spacious ocean-view room is just the retreat you need.

Insider Tip: Don't skip the educational programs - they bring the islands' unique wildlife and conservation story to life in ways that captivate both kids and adults.

The secret to securing the perfect summer escape? Planning ahead for Ocean House Rhode Island. This Watch Hill retreat has everything I love about New England summers – beautiful private beaches, classic sailing adventures, and some of the best fresh seafood – with top-level services that keep guests coming back year after year.

And when I say top-level, we mean it: Ocean House is the first and only AAA Five Diamond and Forbes Five-Star hotel in Rhode Island.

January might feel early to plan your summer escape, but the best rooms always book up early so let's start planning!

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.

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.

Feeling like you need some quality 'me time' after the holiday chaos? Solo travel might be exactly what you need.

This is your chance to be delightfully selfish – in the best way possible. Sleep in or wake up at sunrise. Spend three hours in that museum or skip it entirely. No judgment, no compromises – just you living your best life.

Insider Tip: Stay at boutique hotels or luxury lodges that offer social spaces and activities. Perfect for when you want to meet people – and equally perfect for when you don't!

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.

Anyone can visit Sicily—but I’ll help you experience it. With insider access to places like Villa Sant’Andrea, my clients enjoy perks and personal touches no online booking site can provide.

Wake up to ocean views at Villa Sant’Andrea in Taormina, dine at Michelin-starred restaurants or rustic osterias, explore vineyards on Mount Etna, or spend the day boating along Sicily’s stunning coastline.

When you work with me, you’re getting so much more than a vacation—you’re getting an adventure designed just for you. Let’s plan your perfect Sicilian escape.

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.

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.

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.

The Cyclades are stealing the spotlight in 2025, and the iconic Mykonos Blu Hotel (reopening this May) is the perfect spot to soak up this must-visit destination.

I can book you a VIP trip to experience this Greek island paradise. Their Island Bungalows offer unbelievable views, and I love recommending special touches like the Floating Breakfast - served right in your private villa's pool.

Another insider tip? Let me arrange for the hotel's signature 6-hour private driving tour. It's a great way to explore the island!

Wellness travel has never been more exciting or accessible. In 2025, it’s about moving beyond the traditional and stepping into destinations that feel custom-built for your personal journey.

Because in 2025, it's not about following someone else's wellness rules – it's about creating your own perfect escape.
