Ever tasted oysters you just pulled from the sea, paired with Tasmanian wine in the bay itself? At Saffire Freycinet, moments like this are the norm.

Set on Tasmania’s east coast, this intimate lodge (just 20 suites) overlooks the blue waters of Wineglass Bay. The design is sleek and modern, but the atmosphere is as welcoming as it is refined. From guided hikes in Freycinet National Park to indulgent honey-and-lavender spa treatments, Saffire creates a perfect balance between connection to nature and thoughtful luxury.

Every year, a few under-the-radar destinations start to catch more attention. Right now, these lesser-known spots are making waves for those in the know:

🧂 Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia – A surreal salt flat that becomes a giant mirror after the rain. Otherworldly doesn’t even begin to describe it.
🌾 Comporta, Spain – Quiet, stylish, and effortlessly cool. With wild beaches, pine forests, and boutique hotels, it’s coastal Europe at its most relaxed.
🌊 Faroe Islands – Rugged cliffs, rolling fog, and a wild sense of remoteness. It feels like the edge of the world—in the best way.
⛰ Julian Alps, Slovenia – Alpine lakes, mountain huts, and scenic trails without the heavy crowds.
🌴 Koh Kood, Thailand – A peaceful island escape with waterfalls, soft sands, and laid-back luxury.

These places still feel like discoveries—and that’s exactly why I love them. Curious about one of these destinations? Let’s start planning!

Looking for a Mexico escape that feels truly different? Paradero Todos Santos is a design-forward retreat just an hour from Cabo—yet worlds away in energy.

With only 35 suites, this design-forward boutique hotel trades the usual resort scene for something far more special: cactus-lined hiking trails, surf breaks with no crowds, sea safaris along the Baja coastline, and rooftop hammocks made for stargazing. The desert-meets-ocean setting is unforgettable, and the experience feels both grounding and indulgent.

This is Mexico with a slower rhythm—and it stays with you long after you’ve returned. Ready to experience it? Let’s start planning.

Clients have been asking about the best way to see the Canadian Rockies, and I always light up when I talk about the Banff to Lake Louise route.

It’s a breathtaking stretch packed with outdoor adventure and natural beauty—far beyond just the scenic drive. Soak in natural hot springs, paddle across glacier-fed lakes, hike through alpine meadows, or try stand-up paddleboarding with the mountains as your backdrop. Into biking? There are plenty of scenic trails for that too.

With charming lodges, luxury stays, and jaw-dropping views around every turn, it’s the kind of trip that makes you want to stay just a little longer.

If I could bottle that “relaxed and totally taken care of” feeling, it would look a lot like Coral Reef Club in Barbados. This family-run boutique resort has been welcoming guests for decades—and it shows in all the best ways. Here’s what makes it special:

The Rooms: Colonial-style cottages tucked into tropical greenery give this place the feel of a Caribbean storybook.

Personal Touch: It's the kind of place where you instantly relax, and by the end of your stay everyone knows your name. (You’re not just a room number here!)

Beach & Spa Bliss: Stroll from a white-sand beach to an award-winning spa hidden in the tropical foliage. Total paradise found.

Some safari experiences leave a lasting impression—and Singita Sabi Sand in South Africa is one of them.

Evenings might include watching elephants stroll past your private plunge pool as the sky turns gold, or spotting a leopard on the move just before dusk. This private reserve is known for its remarkable wildlife encounters, led by expert guides who know the land inside and out.

Each suite features a panoramic deck and plunge pool, ideal for taking in the view with a glass of South African wine in hand.

It’s the kind of place that feels too incredible to be real—until you’re there. Curious to learn more? Let’s chat.

Clients often ask me how they can incorporate wellness into their travels, and I love telling them about India:

• Sunrise Yoga in the Himalayas – Fresh mountain air, golden light, and a view that makes Warrior II feel like an entirely new experience.

• Canoeing Through Kerala’s Backwaters – Slow travel at its best—drift past greenery and floating villages.

• Meditation in a Rajasthani Palace – Trade distractions for tranquility in a regal setting that feels designed for stillness and clarity.

• Holi in Full Color – India’s most joyful festival, where the only rule is to embrace the chaos (and maybe wear clothes you don’t mind turning rainbow).

It’s a joy to see travelers return from India not only with amazing memories, but also feeling refreshed and inspired. If you’re looking for a journey that nurtures your well-being, let’s start planning your trip to India!

When clients want something luxurious, peaceful, and completely off the grid—I point them to Six Senses Krabey Island.

This private island resort in Cambodia features villas with private plunge pools, outdoor showers, and floor-to-ceiling jungle or ocean views. Wellness is a major focus here, with luxurious spa journeys, organic dining, and a menu of restorative experiences that go far beyond a typical resort stay.

I can also craft a custom itinerary that takes you from the beaches of Krabey Island to the ancient temples of Angkor—because Cambodia deserves to be explored.

Have you heard of noctotourism? 🌙 It's all about one-of-a-kind travel experiences that come alive at night. Here's a glimpse at one of the coolest travel trends I'm seeing lately:

✨ Chasing the Northern Lights above the Arctic Circle – nature's most dazzling light show.

✨ Stargazing at Sun City Camp in Jordan’s Wadi Rum – luxury desert camping with skies so clear, the Milky Way feels close enough to touch.

✨ Firefly festivals in Japan – watch thousands of tiny lanterns (yes, fireflies!) light up summer nights

✨ Wine tasting by moonlight in Athens – sip Greek wines under the stars with the Acropolis in the background.

✨ Hot air balloons glowing against the night sky in Cappadocia, Turkey – yes, the magic doesn’t stop at sunrise.

✨ Gliding through New Zealand's Waitomo Caves – drift on an underground river as glowworms create a galaxy on the cave ceiling.

Which of these nocturnal wonders would you try first? Tell me your pick or ask how I can get you there – I'm here to plan your after-dark adventure.

Small ship, big adventure. Kontiki Expedition Cruises is redefining luxury cruising, sailing to off-the-radar destinations along Ecuador’s coast. What makes it special?

• Just 18 guests on board for an intimate, yacht-style experience.

• Sustainable luxury—this isn't mass tourism, it's eco-conscious travel at its finest.

• Wildlife encounters like marine reserves, whale watching, and untouched beaches.

If you love the idea of cruising but prefer something more exclusive and immersive, Kontiki is the answer. Let’s plan your luxury expedition!

If it seems like everyone is talking about Japan—it’s probably because they are.

Where else can you enjoy sushi prepared by a Michelin-starred chef one night, then meditate with monks the next morning? With the right itinerary, you can move effortlessly from the electric energy of Tokyo to the quiet elegance of Kyoto’s temples—all in one trip.

Japan is one of those rare destinations where cutting-edge innovation and deep-rooted cultural traditions live side by side. With expert planning, it’s easy to experience the best of both in a way that feels seamless and immersive.

I get asked all the time if there’s a secret to scoring a flight upgrade. The truth? Having a travel advisor in your corner makes all the difference.

Not all business-class seats are created equal. Before you book, let me help you choose the airline that offers the best experience for your route—because flying should feel like part of the vacation. Here are a few ways I can elevate your time in the air:

✔️ Lounge Access That’s Actually Worth It – Some lounges are next-level, others not so much. I’ll make sure you get access to the best.
✔️ Meet & Greet Services – Breeze through customs and security with fast-track help, perfect for tricky connections or arriving fresh in Europe.
✔️ Semi-Private & Private Flights – Ditch the crowds and enjoy personal service from boarding to landing—no checked baggage fees, no chaos.

Flying can be a whole lot more enjoyable—with the right advisor in your corner. Let’s talk strategy for your next trip!

Fairytale charm, cutting-edge cuisine, and hygge coziness on every corner – that's Copenhagen for you!

I'm here to help you explore Copenhagen in style! Stroll through Nyhavn with its iconic waterfront houses, stop by a trendy café for a cinnamon roll break, and spend an afternoon biking like a local (Copenhageners love their bicycles!).

Advisor Tip: I always recommend exploring the Torvehallerne food market to taste a smørrebrød or two, and of course, visiting Tivoli Gardens for that old-world magic.

Is Denmark’s capital on your travel list? If not, it should be! Let's plan your Copenhagen getaway with all my insider tips and VIP perks included.

One&Only Reethi Rah is a bucket-list favorite for good reason.

This private island resort in the Maldives is pure fantasy come to life: overwater villas with steps right into crystal-clear lagoons, personal butlers delivering coconut cocktails to your hammock, and 12 powder-white beaches to explore. It's that magical.

Sometimes you have to see it to believe it, and this is one of those places. Ready to cross the Maldives off your list in style? Let's start planning your overwater escape!

When couples think “romantic getaway,” beach destinations usually come to mind—but some of the most unforgettable escapes happen far from the shoreline. If you're dreaming of something a little different, here are a few spots that set the mood in their own magical way:

🏞 Scottish Highlands – Storybook castles, moody lochs, and countryside retreats perfect for sharing a fireside whisky and slowing down together.
🌾 Provence, France – Strolls through lavender fields, market mornings, and dinners under the stars in a rustic château.
🍷 Napa Valley – Vineyard picnics, wine tastings, and firelit evenings at charming boutique inns.
🎨 San Miguel de Allende, Mexico – Cobblestone streets, art, and rooftop dinners overlooking glowing pink churches.
⛩ Petra, Jordan – Ancient history and unforgettable sunsets—pair it with a night at a luxury camp nearby.
🌄 Sedona, Arizona – Red rock hikes, spa days, and desert sunsets that feel like pure magic.

Romance looks a little different in each of these places—and that’s what makes them so special. Let’s plan a love-filled escape that’s anything but ordinary.

Think booking direct is the best deal? Think again. Here’s why working with a luxury travel advisor takes your hotel stay to the next level:

• You pay the same rate (or sometimes even less), but get more – like complimentary breakfast, spa credits, or a welcome gift waiting in your room.

• I have personal relationships with hotels, so we can request the best rooms or views for you and ensure the staff knows you’re a valued guest.

• If anything goes wrong (flight delays, lost reservations), I'll handle it, so you’re never on your own to fix issues.

Bottom line: Booking with me turns an ordinary hotel stay into a special experience and costs you nothing extra.

04/03/2025

Safari isn't a one-size-fits-all adventure; there are so many ways to experience the African wilderness beyond the classic jeep ride. Here are a few safari styles travelers often rave about:

🐘 Classic Safari: Stay in a luxury lodge & spot the Big Five in open-air game drives.
🌄 Walking Safari: Set out on foot with expert guides for a slower, more immersive look at the bush.
🌊 Water Safari: Canoe through Botswana’s Okavango Delta for an up-close look at wildlife.
🌋 Gorilla Trekking: Hike through Rwanda’s misty mountains to meet these gentle giants.

Each type of safari offers something unique, and part of my job is matching you with the experience that will make your wilderness adventure truly unforgettable. Which one is on your list?
