Journey into Japan's Soul: Zen Gardens of Kamakura 🍃 Find peace among the meticulously raked gravel and carefully pruned trees at Engaku-ji Temple. Each rock and plant placement tells a story, creating a living artwork that changes with the seasons. Visit early morning to experience the gardens in meditative silence, then warm up with a bowl of temple-made vegetarian shojin ryori.

Sushi secrets unveiled at Tokyo's Tsukiji Outer Market! 🍣 Start your day at 8 AM when the market comes alive. Watch artisan knife makers at work, sample fresh uni (sea urchin), and learn why the wasabi here tastes different from anywhere else in the world. Pro tip: Join a local guide to discover hidden stalls where third-generation vendors serve traditional dishes you won't find in guidebooks.

Here's a quick overview of what you should expect for that luxury cruise to celebrate your big milestone. ➡️ Ultra-Luxury Cruise Lines (like Regent Seven Seas, Seabourn, or Silversea): These start from around $5,000 per person for a 7-day cruise, with more exclusive suites and longer itineraries easily going up to $15,000-$30,000+ per person. ➡️ Luxury Ocean Cruises (like Oceania, Viking Ocean, or Azamara): Expect to budget $3,000-$8,000 per person for a 7- to 10-day cruise, with higher prices for suites or longer voyages. Things like cabin type, destinations, shore excursions, and spa days will also impact how much you should budget. Now, I'm all about making sure my clients' cruise experience maximizes their budget, so if you're looking to splurge in 2025 for that big celebration and want help picking the right cruise line, ship and sailing, get in touch, I'd love to help!

Your vacation time is WAY too valuable to be disappointed when you get there. So many things affect whether your vacation is good or bad: → The resort/hotel and where it's located. → The quality of the room you're staying in. → The local experiences and tours you book. → Amenities available at your hotel. → The local food and wine you get to experience. And this is only the start of what I consider when I make recommendations and plan an itinerary for a client. Let's not leave your level of satisfaction with your next getaway to chance!

Sometimes, the solution is as simple as getting out of your head and your environment and seeing another part of the world. But can we talk for a minute about the quality of your Holiday? It could be a quick 4-night getaway to Napa or Mexico or a two-week stay in Greece. Here are a few things I've found make all the difference in whether my trips (and the trips of my clients) are great instead of just average. Personalization - This one is totally underestimated, but there are so many places you can go to and hundreds of thousands of hotels and resorts where you can stay. My picks and recommendations are based on all of the information I file away about my clients and how they specifically like to travel. Pre-Planning - It's a total dream when you can arrive at the destination with the little details already taken care of. The airport transport company is waiting, or the rental car company; your tours and experiences are taken care of, so you can breathe easily. An Advocate - When flights get moved or canceled, or you decide you want to stay longer, it's nice to have someone who can step in and move mountains to make things happen quicker for you so you can enjoy your time, not spend it on hold or at the front desk. Just a few things to consider to elevate your next Holiday ✨ #TravelPlanning #travelPlanner #VacationIdeas #TravelWithPersonalization #EffortlessVacations #HassleFreeTrips #TailoredToYou #LuxuryTravelExperience #NexTrekTravel
