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.

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 me smile: you can help seed coral reefs, care for rescued sea turtles, or spend your afternoon with wild dolphins.

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!

Ready to plan your solo escape? Let's make it unforgettable.

Rio Sagrado is your perfect base for exploring Peru’s Sacred Valley—and just wait until you see the setting. Along the banks of the Urubamba River and surrounded by the Andes, this incredible property lets you experience the magic of the region in style.

Start your day with a scenic train ride to Machu Picchu, a true bucket-list adventure. Explore the ancient ruins, take in the views, and enjoy the quiet moments that make this place unforgettable. Back at Rio Sagrado, relax by the river, enjoy Peruvian dishes made with fresh, local ingredients, or just take in the peaceful beauty of the valley.

Anyone can visit Sicily—but I’ll help you experience it. With insider access to places like Villa Sant’Andrea, my clients enjoy perks and personal touches no online booking site can provide.

Wake up to ocean views at Villa Sant’Andrea in Taormina, dine at Michelin-starred restaurants or rustic osterias, explore vineyards on Mount Etna, or spend the day boating along Sicily’s stunning coastline.

Travel is changing in exciting ways for 2025. I’m seeing smarter booking systems, personalized wellness-focused stays, and more opportunities to connect deeply with local cultures.

But before you pack those bags, let's talk about some important travel updates and reminders. Have you checked your passport expiration date lately? And if you're heading to the UK, you'll need to apply for their Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) before your trip.

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.

There’s no better way to invest in your relationship than by traveling together. From honeymoons to anniversaries, consider these top destinations for romance this year:

Find a Beach: Seychelles offers luxury resorts and beaches that will take your breath away. Arrive in early May for the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup on Mahé! Closer to home, Hawaii offers something special for every couple.

Go North: Treat yourselves to a five-star lodge in Banff National Park, Alberta. Hike, bike, or ski, then relax in the Banff hot springs. For something truly unique, head to Churchill, Manitoba to spot polar bears or go beluga boarding in Hudson’s Bay.

Go Overwater: Nothing says romance quite like an overwater bungalow. You’ll find these in the Maldives, French Polynesia, and Fiji.

Here's what I’m 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 I’m 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 Cyclades are stealing the spotlight in 2025, and the iconic Mykonos Blu Hotel (reopening this May) is the perfect spot to soak up this must-visit destination.

I can book you a VIP trip to experience this Greek island paradise. Their Island Bungalows offer unbelievable views, and I love recommending special touches like the Floating Breakfast - served right in your private villa's pool.

Another insider tip? Let me arrange for the hotel's signature 6-hour private driving tour. It's a great way to explore the island!

Belmond's classic river cruises are one of the best ways to explore Europe—here's why I 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.
