Clients Checking ✅ In at the jaw-dropping “One & Only Cape Town.” 🇿🇦
I can’t think of a better way to start your dream safari 🐘 trip to South Africa, Botswana & Victoria Falls- Zimbabwe than checking in to the “One & Only Cape Town” in the heart of the city’s waterfront district with the famous “Table Mountain” as a backdrop. The resort style pool and Nobu restaurant rounds it all out perfectly. Oh, and then their finishing this amazing holiday in the stunning South African wine country, which is conveniently only 60 minutes from the Cape Town airport.

Obsessed with this stunning in Santorini 🇬🇷 for a client’s 10th Anniversary. Vora is comprised of only 3 award winning seaside villas, all with their own private outdoor lounge and whirlpool bath. FYI, You can get Greece at a bargain if you go in May & October… with less crowds and ideal weather ☀️

I didn’t realize I’d be booking so many European 🇪🇺 trips this Fall🍁, but it’s been lovely collaborating with some Chicago clients on this upcoming Paris & Amsterdam combo 🚊
Stop 🛑 1 Paris- “Hôtel Barrière Le Fouquet's” on one of the worlds’s finest Avenues, the Champs Elysees. Where are they going to hang out first? The Indoor Garden (photo 1), the classic Parisian sidewalk cafe (photo 2), or the rooftop (photo 3).
These guys loved the extra attention my Virtuoso property’s gave them
in Ireland 🇮🇪 this August by being welcomed with🥂, daily breakfast, room upgrades and room € credits. I’m Looking forward to “WOWing” they again in a few weeks.

Planning an autumn 🍂 Castle road-trip throughout England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 & Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 for this sun-spoiled Southern Cal couple that misses the fall seasons of their childhood. I’ve been able to hook them at multiple 5 Star Virtuoso properties including “Glenapp Castle (photos 1-3)” and “Ellenborough Park (photos 3-6)” in the Cotswolds…. And now I’m trying to figure out some dates to do this trip myself!

What am I’m Curating 🎨 for Clients Right Now!? Beachfront Villas in Turks & Caicos 🇹🇨 and Cabo San Lucas over the Holidays and Winter-break. Hey friends, there’s a lot more “short-term” Villa rental companies that have been around much longer than Airbnb & VRBO.
These companies help us coordinate stocked kitchens, baby-sitting, rental-car delivery and anything else you could want.

Busy testing out the over-water bungalows in the Mexican 🇲🇽 Caribbean for my clients. Thankfully, 🏨 is showing me there’s much more to Cozumel than a cruise-port. I’ve been here twice on a cruise 🛳 but never left the boat. FYI, Chicago has direct flights to this island.

Met with 15 vendors from Ecuador 🇪🇨 and cannot wait to check it out in February! I didn’t realize we get the Galápagos Islands 🐢 Pacific Coast, the Andes 🏔 and Amazon Rainforest all in a country the size of Colorado. So much unforgettable landscape AND 12+ thriving indigenous cultures. Oh yeah, and then theres the two thriving Unesco Heritage cities of Quito & Cuenca!
