A few hotels we are really excited about after meeting with our preferred partners this week.

There’s been a rise in interest for these types of travel experiences, particularly among women who are now starting to travel solo. As I mentioned in my article about group travel, groups can be ideal for solo travelers - especially if you have never traveled alone before. Rather than embarking on an adventure totally on your own, you can find camaraderie in a group and have the added benefit of the safety and security of an organized group trip. As more and more seek out these types of experiences, there is a trend of our travel partners offering itineraries only for women. 

Ideas for your own family adventure. I love helping families craft these incredible trips that will have a lasting impact on them for years to come. And it’s a reminder that family travel doesn’t have to be theme parks and all-inclusive resorts - taking your family on a true adventure can be so life-changing for everyone. 

Some destinations are best seen from the water and on a cruise ship. Read about our favorite places to see on a cruise and what you can expect to experience.

Whether or not you like Valentine’s Day, you can beat a romantic escape with your loved one (even if that loved one is yourself!).

We plan many anniversary and couples trips, and it’s so much fun to brainstorm new ideas for places couples can travel to that aren’t the most obvious destinations. Here are just a few ideas to inspire your next romantic getaway…

Everything you need to know about 2025’s travel requirements.

A few of our new favorite hotels around the East Coast and Southeast, great for a weeklong family retreat or a long weekend in the city.

Chicago is an incredible city, and during certain times of the year, it’s the best city in the US (in my biased opinion). And while you could visit Chicago year-round, I’d highly recommend visiting during late Spring into early Fall. Not only will the weather be at its best, you will also have access to so many things to do around the city and you will also likely fall in love with The Windy City. 

Nestled between Europe and North Africa, Malta offers travelers an enchanting Mediterranean destination that blends rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning natural beauty. Read more about why you should consider this island nation as an alternative to Italy, Greece, or Croatia.

As we kick off the beginning of 2025, there are a lot of exciting things happening in the travel world for this year, including for cruises. Some of our favorite cruise partners are launching new ships with new itineraries, while others are launching totally new cruise itineraries focused on specific interests that go beyond the Christmas markets and wine cruises you may be familiar with. 

One of my favorite feelings when traveling is being totally overwhelmed and in awe of the history and the majesty of the place where I am. Whether it's an incredibly beautiful destination or an awe-inspiring landmark that totally exceeds my expectations, I love feeling blown away by a new place or experience. Here are a few of my own favorite wonders of the world and the places that made my jaw drop. Remember, working with a travel advisor can take these experiences from awesome to extraordinary.

Somehow 2025 has become the year of cruising - so excited to take my first river and ocean cruises next year!

If you haven’t already started planning your 2025 travel yet, let this week’s post be your inspiration. While many of the world’s most popular destinations are still expected to be very popular next year (Italy, France, Japan…), there are some up and coming destinations that are starting to draw crowds, particularly from the US. We’ve picked a few favorites from around the world to share with you.

Travel trends we’re seeing for 2025 including set jetting, more solo travel, and the resurgence of luxury train travel.

It’s that time of year when we’re thinking about what gifts to give our friends and family - and if you’ve got someone in your life who loves to travel (or needs to travel more), then I’ve got a few ideas for you! 

I work with many clients who love traveling for food and wine (as do I!) and there is one small, but important culinary destination that comes up over and over again with clients - San Sebastian. This city on the northern coast of Spain is a food (and wine) lover’s dream - it has the highest number of Michelin-starred restaurants per capita in the world (11 in a city of less than 200,000 people). Have I piqued your interest now in this tiny corner of the world, straddling Spain and France? 

If you’ve had Malbec from Argentina, it was likely from Mendoza. While there are other wine-producing regions in Argentina, Mendoza is the largest and most well-known. And it’s become a very popular destination for tourists to visit for wine-tasting and a bit of relaxation. 

Recapping our fantastic honeymoon trip to Buenos Aires - what to do, what we loved, and where we ate.

Traveling during harvest season provides a unique opportunity for visitors to see the wine making process in action. .It’s also a time of celebration - there are local festivals throughout the season that feature local wines, foods, music, and dancing so this can be a wonderful time to travel and experience the local culture. 

A few hotels that recently opened or are planned for 2025 in some of our favorite destinations!
