There's something magical about a resort that knows exactly where to place itself. Amanera resort sits 60 feet above Playa Grande, where just 25 casitas enjoy what might be the Caribbean's most spectacular address.

This Dominican Republic property spans 2,000 acres and features a stunning golf course – reimagined by Rees Jones from his father's original design, with more coastal holes than any course in the Western Hemisphere.

The Bay View Pool Casitas are our favorite spot to wake up (even if you sleep through sunrise - no judgment). For pure bliss, head to the spa for their signature Taíno-inspired treatments. A favorite evening ritual? Ordering a hand-rolled cigar and local rum to your private clifftop dinner.

Belmond's classic river cruises are one of the best ways to explore Europe—here's why we love them:

Small Ships, VIP Experience: Belmond's ships are designed to make you feel like a VIP from the moment you step on board. With fewer guests, you'll enjoy spacious cabins and exclusive access to areas larger ships can't reach.

Unique Itineraries & Private Excursions: Belmond's cruises feature curated itineraries that take you beyond the standard tourist spots: private vineyard tours in Burgundy to exclusive guided walks through medieval Austrian towns.

Gourmet Dining: Dine on regional specialties as you sail through some of Europe's most culinary-rich areas. Enjoy French cuisine on the Rhône, local wines in Tuscany, or discover the regional dishes of Central Europe along the Danube—all with impeccable service.

New Zealand isn’t just a destination—it’s a journey worth taking now.

Start your day at Rosewood Matakauri, where mornings come with coffee and sweeping views of Lake Wakatipu and snow-capped peaks. But that’s just the beginning.

We’ll design an itinerary filled with extraordinary experiences: private tastings at exclusive vineyards, picnics in the heart of the Southern Alps, and hidden waterfall hikes far from the usual trails.

Feeling like you need some quality 'me time' after the holiday chaos? Solo travel might be exactly what you need.

This is your chance to be delightfully selfish – in the best way possible. Sleep in or wake up at sunrise. Spend three hours in that museum or skip it entirely. No judgment, no compromises – just you living your best life.

Insider Tip: Stay at boutique hotels or luxury lodges that offer social spaces and activities. Perfect for when you want to meet people – and equally perfect for when you don't!

This year let’s travel with intention. Here a few insider tips for a more meaningful 2025:

Culinary Exploration: Get hands-on with food experiences—try truffle hunting in Croatia, sushi-making workshops in Japan, or a farm-to-table feast in New Zealand.

Slow Travel Adventures: Spend more time truly exploring—like cruising on a canal boat in France, horseback riding in Patagonia, or taking a leisurely road trip around Iceland.

Give Back on Your Journey: Create a positive impact by joining local efforts, like turtle conservation in Sri Lanka or working with artisans in Guatemala.

Unique Stays, Deeper Stories: Opt for accommodations that are an experience themselves—treehouse lodges in Costa Rica, a castle on the Scottish coast, or a glass igloo in Finland.

Here's what we're excited about for 2025: cruising is getting personal. This year, it's all about smaller ships, thoughtfully curated routes, and meaningful adventures that bring you closer to each destination.

Here's the kind of experience we're talking about:

Ha Long Bay Heritage Cruise will bring you through Vietnam's legendary islands on a boutique ship that feels more like a floating luxury home. You’ll drift across emerald waters, kayak to hidden lagoons, and spend time with local fishing villages.

The Maldives has no shortage of luxury resorts, but Patina Maldives? It's something special.

Even at full capacity, it feels like your own private island paradise – thanks to cleverly designed spaces and hidden nooks. Nine incredible restaurants, bars, and three food trucks serve up sustainable cuisine all day long. (Don't miss KŌEN: Japanese and Nordic flavors create some of the most memorable meals you'll ever have.)

But here's what really makes us smile: you can help seed coral reefs, care for rescued sea turtles, or spend your afternoon with wild dolphins.

Ever feel like your trips fly by too fast? We’re always on the lookout for how to elevate your travel experiences, and we cannot recommend slow travel enough—it’s truly a game-changer.

Instead of racing through destinations, slow travel invites you to settle in. Choose one region to explore deeply, stay in places that feel more like a home than a hotel, and let each day reveal a new layer of local life.

Insider Tip: We can recommend properties that reward longer stays and add experiences like cooking classes or art workshops that connect you to the destination's heart.

Let’s plan your next adventure, one unhurried moment at a time.

When you think of Tuscany, wine and pasta probably come to mind first. But here's a secret: it's also one of Europe's best wellness destinations!

The region is dotted with amazing natural hot springs where you can soak in healing, mineral-rich waters. Relax with spa treatments inspired by local herbs and flowers, start your mornings with yoga under olive trees, or take peaceful walks through Chianti's vineyards that feel more like exploring than exercise. Plus, you can join cooking classes to learn all about making healthy (and delicious) Tuscan dishes.

Get in touch to explore all that Tuscany has to offer or discover other trending wellness destinations for 2025!

Morning volcano hikes and afternoon snorkeling with sea lions? Yes, please! That's just a typical day at Pikaia Lodge in the Galápagos Islands. This eco-luxury lodge sits on top of an ancient volcanic crater, giving you the perfect home base for exploring one of Earth's most adventurous destinations.

The best part? You get to explore by land and sea. Hop on their private yacht to discover different islands, hike volcanic trails that look like another planet, and visit the legendary giant tortoises. After all the adventures, your spacious ocean-view room is just the retreat you need.

Insider Tip: Don't skip the educational programs - they bring the islands' unique wildlife and conservation story to life in ways that captivate both kids and adults.

Our Story...

We are AM/FM Leisure & Adventure Travel, a full service travel agency physically based in the recreational paradise that is Central Oregon, serving our clients across the US. As a team of 4 agents, we excel at hand-crafting travel itineraries, both leisure and adventure based, and bringing our client's visions to reality- on their terms. We love pairing our client's unique stories and personalities with unusual, romantic, adventurous, and unique experiences- worldwide. It's our hope that our love and passion for life, love and travel is contagious, and that we flawlessly design an experience that makes our clients as incurable as ourselves. After all, wanderlust IS our job!

About Our Owners....

We are Felix and Anneke Marchese, co-owners of AM/FM Leisure & Adventure Travel. As the parents of two special needs adopted kids, we have unique knowledge and personal experience to aid in your travel plans, no matter the obstacle. Devoted foodies and craft brew lovers, we can suggest great places to fill your belly, too. We've been a team for over 18 years, having first met each other in 1998. We've called the greater Phoenix valley area home for over 10 years, and in 2017 made the leap to relocate to Central Oregon after beginning our family's journey in Northern California. After struggling with infertility for years, we were blessed to adopt our two (not so tiny anymore) miracles! After several career path, location, and family switchbacks, we found our way down the road less traveled, and realized our dream come true- the opportunity to turn our family's love of travel and exploration into a thriving business. We've added to our team over the years, but we've stayed committed to keeping things family-run and operated. It's our hope that our love and passion for life, travel and knowledge is contagious, and that you find yourself as incurable as ourselves!
