As the California fires continue to burn with more strong winds forecast, our hearts and prayers remain with all those affected. The loss of lives, homes, cherished belongings and destruction of farms and natural habitats is hard to fathom. For all of us, it is heart breaking to see the communities and beautiful landscapes in ashes and facing such challenges. I am in awe of the tireless work by firefighters, first responders, volunteers, caregivers and their families who support them. The volunteers and resources from Canada, Mexico and surrounding US States- kindness knows no borders. It is incredible to see the sense of community, generosity and humanity as people extend help
to displaced people and animals.
Our daughter is a student at University - Malibu is her second home and a place we love to visit regularly and have spent so many happy times. (2nd last photo taken on a recent visit). It is hard to imagine it as it is now. 💔

For all new trips booked in January, Journeys by Soldi will be donating 15 % of profits to registered charities supporting those affected by the CA Fires.

Please consider making a donation to one of the many registered organizations on the last slide.

A magical pre-Christmas whirlwind trip to London for a reunion with my husband's family.. the city was gorgeous- dressed in all her Holiday magic and it was great fun and so festive to explore the best bits in a big, crazy 3 generation crew! We watched a show in the West End, took Granny on a festive 'Bites and Lights' tour on a vintage London Bus, ate pasties to soak up the Bubbly and walked a gazillion miles to see the best of it all. We woke to up to glorious sunshine and blue skies one morning and booked the London Eye VIP Champagne spin- what a treat! Point is, London is fabulous for a festive getaway.. from Christmas markets, to fabulous dining , magnificent history and SO much more- it is easy and perfect. For the WHOLE family!!

Last minute anniversary escape? We got you! Just booked ⭐️ A special couple is heading to the dreamy tomorrow.

Anchored in the grounds of Mayan legends, this recently renovated and reimagined hideaway between jungle and sea is a secret haven.

Holistic wellness and exquisite contemporary Mexican dining are offered along with extraordinary authentic experiences and excursions - Cooking classes, star gazing, scuba diving, exploring ancient Mayan sites or swimming through the property's own cenote.. the adventures are endless.

Maroma is proud of their ground breaking sustainability initiatives. Even golf and nature go hand in hand here. Practice your best golf shots under the beautiful sunsets - each golf ball is made from biodegradable material which, upon landing in the ocean, becomes fish food. 🌍

Here at JBS, we have been incredibly busy these past few months and so grateful for it! I have not even begun to share the many adventures our many clients had over the summer - to 21 countries and several US states! We're so excited to be sharing those SOON!

Recently booked- LIZARD ISLAND on Australia's Barrier Reef, as part of an epic 4- week client adventure through New Zealand and Australia which I can't wait to share with you! (and am definitely pretty envious about!)

Secluded within the National Park, enriched with diverse Australian wildlife and bounded by private beaches, Lizard Island absolutely unique- it is the only luxury resort located directly on the Great Barrier Reef. Endless adventures await... boat trips through these incredible water, snorkeling, scuba diving, reef exploration, fishing, hiking. In between, relax poolside or enjoy holistic spa treatments, sublime food and excellent service. Sigh. What's more, our client is a biologist and incredibly excited about his visit to the Lizard Island Research Station, a coral research facility owned and operated by the Australian Museum.

Stay tuned as I highlight more of this extraordinary journey, which includes the highlights of both countries. Staying true to my passion for nature and sustainability, we've been sure to include several stunning luxury nature lodges in between the classic stays!

Oh PAROS..Clients are loving their stay here! With its white washed villages, tumbling flowers, gorgeous hotels and azure clear waters for boat cruising.. it is magical. Can you guess the top destinations for JBS clients this summer? Easy to tell from my posts, that Greece 🇬🇷 and South Africa 🇿🇦 are blazing the way- but we have so many other gorgeous destinations lined up for our summer families- from Croatia, Montenegro and Italy, to Costa Rica, Montana, Hawaii and more! Stay tuned to follow along! 🌍

CLIENT DEPARTURE, first stop: Santorini! ☀️ 🇬🇷
It is so exciting when trips we have been planning and fine tuning for so many months, eventually begin! So excited for this family who are on their way to Greece! They will be arriving just in time for lunch on at their stunning (despite a delayed international flight and a quick shuffle to get them on a later flight to Santorini- that's how we love supporting our clients!❤️)

What a place to kick off this dreamy trip! Carved into the rugged caldera cliffs, Mystique overlooks the midnight clear waters Aegean Sea - it might be hard to leave this pool terrace to embark on the fun adventures we've planned for them!

Always so thankful to my incredible partners for planning my clients' beautiful Greece adventures with me!

I love hearing from clients on their adventures! Two intrepid besties are just on their way back from gorilla, chimp and monkey trekking in Rwanda:

"Another bucket list trip and what an adventure! From hacking down trees to scaling muddy mountains, that was incredible! The trekkers, guides and porters were next level. Soldi is an amazing travel planner that didn't miss a beat for us on this trip. If you haven't been to Africa, put it on the top of your list.. words can't describe how incredible it is."

What a huge privilege it is, to plan clients' bucket list trips like this- along with every vacation- whether a special weekend away, or a family vacation and everything in between.. I am so grateful to my clients for trusting me!
For this extraordinary journey to Rwanda, I could not have done it without my partners at and the team on the ground in Rwanda - thank you for helping make this bucket list trip a reality, and for taking such incredible care of these ladies!

Back home in NY after the most incredible 9 days spent in Botswana with Wilderness ! The nights seem quiet without the grunts of hippos, hyenas, lions roaring and mysterious leaf crunching outside my tent 😳and it's hard to imagine that just a few days ago, we were in the midst of some of Africa's most untamed, remote wilderness!

More incredible bush plane and helicopter flights than I can count, and road transfers through Botswana's stunning wilderness, brought us to the most incredible camps in utterly remote corners of this diverse, wild country. It was impossible to choose just a few pictures of the spectacular adventures we've had, wildlife we saw and extraordinary camps we were lucky enough to experience!

From the channels of the Linyanti River and Savuti in the North, to the desert and starlight wonders of the Makgadikgadi Salt Pan, the Kalahari and the marshes and grasslands and gigantic herds, and the most glorious birds of the Mababe Depression- and ultimately to the incredible waterways of the Okavango Delta- one of the most spectacular wildlife sanctuaries in the world. We explored the extraordinary diversity of four ecosystems on this incredible journey.

Tracking lion families, watching elephants at eye level in a watering hole hide, elephant river crossings at sunset. Foraging with meerkats, a herd of a thousand buffalo, a desert walk with San Bushmen, quad biking across the salt pans, cocktails under endless constellations. Beautiful sunset boat rides and gliding in a'makoro' through the beautifu water lilies and reflections of the Delta.. endless African skies and heart-stirring sunsets. Wonderful people wherever we went; incredible guides, outstanding food and surprise bush brunches. Sundowner bars set up in the most gorgeous places; visiting community projects and soaking it all in. There is just too much to share!

By managing private concessions across 8 African countries, Wilderness is helping to conserve 6 million acres of pristine wilderness and empower communities. By staying at one of their incredible, intimate camps that range from 'adventure' to 'premier'- guests have access to explore some of Africa's most untamed places with extraordinary guides and make a positive impact at the same time!

I'm incredibly thankful for the opportunity to have learnt so much and experienced a stunning range of 10 camps and lodges - each so unique and special!

Armed with knowledge and first hand experience, I can't wait to book magnificent Botswana safaris for my clients, which can be easily be combined with South Africa and other Southern African countries!

Just booked! A beautiful stay at in Lamego, Portugal for a family with young adult kids.The 19th-century manor sits high on a hill overlooking vine-covered terraces with the Duoro River flowing beneath. Suites and villas are set within flourishing kitchen gardens and vineyards, some with private gardens, plunge pools or incredible Douro views. The fine restaurants celebrate the region and showcase the bounty and wines from the Valley. Six Senses resorts specialize in food experiences, such as a specially prepared chef's picnic - may it be a secret spot along the river, in a Georgian era grotto or high up in a vineyard with forever views.

And of course- after adventuring, wine tasting and cruising the Douro by day, the stunning Six Senses spa awaits to reinvigorate the soul.

January has been a month for Africa bookings! 🦓 The next in the series of very special places we selected for clients heading to South Africa.

Add to that exquisite South African cuisine and wine, in the gardens or beside the river- adventure activities and a dreamy spa, this luxury, family run property embraces wildlife conservation and sustainability - so you can travel right.

JUST BOOKED! An incredible family South African adventure to celebrate a milestone birthday. ⭐️ Safari days at Londolozi's Founders Camp - game drives and bush walks for incredible Big 5 wildlife experiences and in between, sublime relaxation at this family friendly stylish camp - in the shade of ancient Ebony and Matumi trees along the banks of the Sand River.
Founders Camp evokes the feeling of a modern stylish African home with contemporary interiors beautifully integrated with ancient elements and the deep history of Londolozi and all my those who shaped it.
Family owned and run for a century, Londolozi (which means 'protector of all living things') has a deep commitment to wildlife conservation and community upliftment- this indeed, is meaningful travel.
The word Londolozi comes from a Zulu word and means ‘Protector Of All Living Things’. Our name reflects the ambitious conservation ethic in our relationship with the natural world. The reserve has been lauded internationally for its foresight and progressive land and wildlife management practices, as well as its productive community involvement. This philosophy realizes that Londolozi is a platform for advocacy of the restoration movement and the new consciousness. It is a Futuristic African Village that should inspire a desire in all to live in deeper connection with each other and the natural world.

Recently booked my first honeymoon for a young, adventurous couple- to Belize! ❤️What a privelege to plan their very first trip as Mr & Mrs! After weighing up a few destinations, we landed on Belize as the perfect mix of romance, jungle adventure, beach lounging and exploration. Their beautiful journey will take them from the jungle to the beaches of Placencia and to end off, Ambergris Caye on the barrier reef. And always, with plenty of authentic cultural and culinary experiences sprinkled in and added here- a huge dose of romance!
