I recently landed in Oslo, Norway so I fgured why not take you on a quick walk through this popular, walkable city! 🇳🇴

I always arrive a few days early before a cruise—this time, before heading to the Arctic with Silversea on one of their Expedition ship. This is one of my top tips:

✔️ Avoid delays & lost bags
✔️ Beat jet lag
✔️ Explore more!

Come stroll with me and get a glimpse of Oslo + some real-time travel tips from the road. 🎥🌍

✈️ Just posted a new video from my recent flight experience—this time flying Business Class with Edelweiss Air.

I filmed bits from the Uber ride to the airport all the way to my hotel room in Oslo, Norway, so you’re getting the full picture—jet lag and all 😅

In the video, I cover:

Lounge access at the airport

Seat setup (yes, I tested the flatbed)

Food and service onboard

What you do and don’t get in terms of amenities

And yep… the 2-hour delay drama in Zurich—and how Edelweiss actually handled it really well

If you're flying to Europe and Edelweiss shows up as an option, this might help you decide if they're worth booking.

🎥 When’s the BEST Time to Book Your Cruise, Safari, or Tauck Tour? 🛳️🦁🌍

It’s one of the most common questions I get: “Should I book early or wait for a last-minute deal?” 🤔

In this new video, I dive into what 20+ years in the travel industry have taught me—and why booking early is almost always the smartest move. ✅

Whether you're eyeing a small ship ocean cruise, a Tauck or AMA Waterways river adventure, a Silversea or Seabourn expedition, or an iconic Tauck land tour or Safari, this video offers practical tips to help you plan your dream trip without the stress. 🙌

🔍 What you’ll learn:

• Why early booking locks in the best price & room
• How fixed pricing works with companies like Tauck
• Why you should book airfare early—especially with points
• When last-minute deals can work (and when they backfire)
• Passport tips for last-minute travellers
• Real examples of trips that sell out FAST (like Antarctica, Japan during cherry blossoms season & Africa river cruises)

🌊 Tauck Small Ship Ocean Cruises — One Of The Best-Kept Secret in Travel? 🛳️

Most travellers know Tauck for their incredible land tours and river cruises… but did you know they also offer immersive, all-inclusive small ship ocean cruises?

In this video, I break down what makes Tauck’s ocean cruises so unique — from chartered ships (like Ponant, Silversea & Windstar), to next-level shore excursions and truly no-nickel-and-diming pricing.

You’ll discover:

✅ Why Tauck doesn’t own ships — and why that’s actually a good thing
✅ What’s included (spoiler: more than any other cruise line)
✅ Real examples from my Tauck cruises in Iceland and Antarctica and the Dalmatian Coast
✅ Who these cruises are perfect for — and who they’re not

✅ Maximize your time
✅ Cut down on flights & jet lag
