A friendly reminder from your travel advisor: here A friendly reminder from your travel advisor: here are two important rule changes to keep on your radar before your next trip:

REAL ID for U.S. Flights: Starting May 2025, a REAL ID–compliant driver’s license (or a passport) will be required to fly domestically within the U.S. Check your license for a star marking — if it’s missing, you’ll need to get a REAL ID or travel with your passport.

UK Entry Requirements: Traveling to the United Kingdom? U.S. travelers are now required to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) before entering the UK — even for short stays. It’s a quick online application, but it must be completed and approved before departure.

When you book with me, I'll make sure you’re fully prepared — documents, deadlines, and all.

Solo travel isn’t just a trend — it’s one of Solo travel isn’t just a trend — it’s one of the most rewarding ways to see the world.

There’s something powerful about exploring on my own terms, and more travelers than ever are embracing the freedom, clarity, and excitement that comes with going solo. My role? To make sure your journey feels personal, enriching, and supported every step of the way.

Maybe you're drawn to a quiet wellness retreat in Costa Rica or a mix of street food and temples in Japan. Maybe it’s hiking in Patagonia, sailing through the Greek isles, or spending a week in a city you've always wanted to get to know.

Whatever your style, I’ll design an itinerary that reflects you — with vetted guides, trusted drivers, and 24/7 support so you’re never really on your own (unless you want to be).

If you’ve ever wished a cruise felt more like a If you’ve ever wished a cruise felt more like a private yacht charter than a floating city — Windstar delivers exactly that!

With only a few hundred guests (max), their small ships and sleek sailing yachts glide into ports that the bigger ships can’t even attempt: hidden harbors, off-the-map islands, and those postcard-perfect Mediterranean villages that most travelers never reach.

Curious about routes? I know the best ones — and exactly when to go. Get in touch with me today to start planning!

If you’re craving more quality time outdoors — If you’re craving more quality time outdoors — without sacrificing comfort — ULUM Moab is one of my favorite ways to do it.

Recently awarded Two MICHELIN Keys, this desert retreat has earned global recognition for its design, service, and sense of place. And once you arrive, you’ll understand why.

Just outside Arches National Park, ULUM delivers the kind of glamping experience that actually lives up to the hype. Full beds with Parachute linens, outdoor rain showers, soaking tubs, and firepits made for stargazing. For families, it’s a chance to unplug and reconnect — with wide-open space, fresh air, and zero pressure to be anywhere but together.

Message me to start planning. I’ll take care of everything — national park passes, kid-friendly hikes, sunset dinners, and all the details in between.

Let me let you in on a little secret: the Irish co Let me let you in on a little secret: the Irish countryside is hiding one of the most beautiful retreats I’ve ever experienced.

Ballyfin Demesne is something special. With just 20 rooms and over 600 acres of gardens and forest to explore, it feels exclusive in the best way. Some of my favorite things? A quiet row across the private lake. Afternoon tea in the drawing room. Horse-drawn carriage rides through the forest. And evenings spent fireside with a glass of whiskey and a book from the library.

A true once-in-a-lifetime stay for anyone who loves history, beauty, and meaningful travel. Reach out and let’s start planning.

If you have an eye for art and design, The Whitby If you have an eye for art and design, The Whitby Hotel in New York City will steal your heart. Every corner of this boutique Midtown hotel is bursting with creativity, thanks to designer Kit Kemp’s eclectic style.

Each room is individually decorated with bold colors, playful patterns, and one-of-a-kind artwork — no two are alike! Downstairs, the common spaces are just as inspiring: there’s a giant colorful sculpture in the lobby and a light-filled Orangery perfect for afternoon tea surrounded by modern art. Even the 130-seat private cinema is stylishly decked out.

The Whitby’s chic bar and drawing room make you feel like you’re in an art gallery (with great cocktails). For design lovers, a stay here isn’t just a hotel night, it’s an experience.

Bora Bora has a brand-new luxury resort to swoon o Bora Bora has a brand-new luxury resort to swoon over! The Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa opened its doors September 2024 (the island’s first new hotel in years). And it was worth the wait.

The resort offers everything from private plunge pools to an overwater spa. As one of the first guests, you’ll enjoy that “brand new resort” sparkle along with Westin’s top-notch service.

Ready to experience Bora Bora’s newest slice of paradise? I'll reserve your overwater bungalow and plan all the details.

Start in Marrakech, where you’ll weave through spice markets and sleep in a dreamy riad with mosaic tiles and courtyard gardens. Up north, lose yourself in the blue maze of Chefchaouen. Out east, venture into the golden Sahara for a night of glamping under a sky full of stars.

Let’s be honest — most of us don’t realize h Let’s be honest — most of us don’t realize how much we need a reset until we’re already running on empty.

COMO Shambhala Estate in Bali is one of those rare places that doesn’t just slow you down — it recalibrates you. It’s not about chasing steps on a retreat schedule or sipping green juice for Instagram. It’s about space. Stillness. Quiet conversations with experts who actually listen. Treatments that go beyond the surface. Meals that nourish without rules or restrictions.

If you’ve been moving at full speed for too long, this is your invitation to pause. I’ll take care of the details. You just exhale.

I've planned hundreds of luxury getaways, but this I've planned hundreds of luxury getaways, but this one still leaves me in awe.

Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise is more than a postcard view (though yes, the view is as stunning as you’ve heard). In winter, guests skate across the frozen lake, snowshoe through trails, or sip mulled wine by the fire after a day of skiing. Come summer, it’s all about early-morning canoe rides, wildflower hikes, and long dinners on the terrace.

The photos are beautiful — but being there is something else entirely. If Lake Louise is on your list, I'll help you experience it in the most memorable way.

Let’s talk about the part of Portugal that someh Let’s talk about the part of Portugal that somehow hasn’t made it to your feed yet — Alentejo.

It’s rustic, it’s real, and it’s refreshingly under-the-radar. Expect whitewashed hill towns like Monsaraz and Marvão, wine estates where the owner might pour your tasting, and olive groves that stretch for miles without a tour bus in sight. The coast is wild and untamed — perfect for scenic drives, cliffside hikes, and crowd-free beach stops.

UNESCO World Heritage Sites make up some of the mo UNESCO World Heritage Sites make up some of the most jaw-dropping places on the planet — but it’s how you experience them that makes the difference.

Think a private guide in Petra who brings the city’s stories to life, early access to the Alhambra before the crowds arrive, or a vineyard lunch in France that just happens to be part of a World Heritage landscape. I've planned it all — and I know which sites are truly worth your time. Message me to learn more!

Love your Amex Platinum perks? Me too — but here Love your Amex Platinum perks? Me too — but here’s why a personal travel advisor can offer even more:

• Personalized Attention: With me, you’re not just an account number. I know you by name, remember your travel preferences, and tailor every trip to you. Like having a travel-savvy friend, not a call center.

• Beyond Hotels: Amex can book a great hotel, but I plan your whole trip. Flights, boutique sustainable hotels or villas, private tours, restaurant reservations — I handle it all. (And yes, I secure the same VIP hotel perks Amex touts, via my own partnerships.)

• Advocacy: If something goes wrong (flight cancellation, booking mix-up), I'm on it immediately. I have direct contacts to fix issues fast. Try getting that level of help from a generic 1-800 number!

Once you travel with my help, you won’t want to go back.

Every now and then, a new property opens that inst Every now and then, a new property opens that instantly lands on my must-visit list.

The Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island opened in early 2024 — and it’s already becoming a favorite among in-the-know eco-conscious travelers. What sets it apart? Turtles nest right on the beach, the stargazing is unreal (there’s zero light pollution), and with just 50 villas (each with its own infinity pool, personal concierge, and beachfront access), privacy and pampering are a given.

If remote luxury is your style, this resort is heaven on earth. I'll handle all the logistics—from seaplane flights to special requests—so you can simply savor your private paradise.

The Caribbean just got a new dose of eco-conscious The Caribbean just got a new dose of eco-conscious ultra-luxury. The Strand, Turks & Caicos is a brand-new resort (opened late 2024) set on a secluded bay in Providenciales.

With just a handful of expansive suites and private villas, it feels more like an exclusive club than a hotel. Each villa has its own pool, butler service, and a stretch of private beachfront.

Mornings might start with yoga on the sand; afternoons could be a boat trip to explore hidden cays or a diving adventure arranged just for you. Come evening, a private chef can grill up the catch of the day for your dinner under the stars.

Want to be one of the first to experience Turks & Caicos’ newest resort? Reach out to start planning!

Ibiza has a reputation — and yes, the music scen Ibiza has a reputation — and yes, the music scene is legendary — but there’s so much more to this island than parties. Head north, and you’ll find a slower, more soulful side that locals love: pine-covered hills, artisan markets, organic farms, and secret coves.

Six Senses Ibiza is one of my top picks for soaking up that side of the island. You’ll find sustainability woven into everything, thoughtful wellness programs and some of the best Mediterranean views. It’s effortlessly cool. And the spa? Easily one of the most restorative I've seen.

Feeling inspired? Get in touch with me today! I'll help you plan every detail.
