If you’re like me, you sometimes get travel insp If you’re like me, you sometimes get travel inspiration from TV shows and movies.

Case in point: White Lotus Season 3. It’s already put Thailand on the map for travelers in a whole new way. While the drama is pure fiction, the dreamy resorts and postcard-perfect islands are very real.

Even if you’re not into that show, traveling based on pop culture can be so much fun. Want to visit film locations from your favorite movie or the setting of a beloved novel? I love planning those types of trips!

A safari is not just a vacation — it’s a life- A safari is not just a vacation — it’s a life-changing journey into nature’s heart.

I know the best lodges (be it ultra-luxe camps or eco-chic bush tents), the expert guides who can find the Big Five like magic, and how to add special touches — a hot air balloon ride at dawn or a visit with Maasai villagers.

If a safari is on your bucket list, get in touch.

Montage Palmetto Bluff in South Carolina might jus Montage Palmetto Bluff in South Carolina might just be the perfect summer spot—equally amazing for family fun or a girls’ weekend.

Set on a sprawling riverside estate in the Lowcountry, this resort feels like its own little world — peaceful, charming, and full of things to do. Bringing the kids? They’ll love kayaking on the May River, biking under oak trees draped in Spanish moss, and roasting s’mores by the fire pit each night. (Meanwhile, parents can sneak off to the spa or hit the golf course.)

Girls’ trip instead? Enjoy spa days (sweet tea body scrubs, anyone?), afternoon rosé on the porch, and boutique shopping in the Inn’s quaint village. Montage Palmetto Bluff truly has something for everyone in your crew. I'll tailor every detail—summer memories await!

Ever tasted oysters you just pulled from the sea, Ever tasted oysters you just pulled from the sea, paired with Tasmanian wine in the bay itself? At Saffire Freycinet, moments like this are the norm.

Set on Tasmania’s east coast, this intimate eco-conscious lodge (just 20 suites) overlooks the blue waters of Wineglass Bay. The design is sleek and modern, but the atmosphere is as welcoming as it is refined. From guided hikes in Freycinet National Park to indulgent honey-and-lavender spa treatments, Saffire creates a perfect balance between connection to nature and thoughtful luxury.

This wasn’t just a vacation. It was a reawakening.

Flamenco, tapas, and Andalusian magic—welcome to Flamenco, tapas, and Andalusian magic—welcome to Seville!

Having lived and worked in Southern Spain, I love helping clients experience it like an insider, with the kind of details that make all the difference.

Catch a private flamenco performance in Triana—it’s where the locals go, and the energy is unforgettable. Walk through orange-scented plazas, pop into tucked-away tapas bars, and save time for a rooftop cocktail with Giralda views (we know a few perfect spots).

This city invites you to slow down and soak it all in. Let’s plan a trip that captures the magic.

I don’t throw the word “transformative” arou I don’t throw the word “transformative” around lightly, but Kasbah Tamadot earns it.

Tucked in the foothills of Morocco’s Atlas Mountains and owned by Sir Richard Branson, this eco-friendly property feels like a well-kept secret passed between people who truly know how to travel.

The hotel itself is stunning—Berber tents with private plunge pools, mosaic-tiled courtyards, and mountain views from nearly every angle.

I can build this into an itinerary for clients who want a deeper connection to Morocco—somewhere to relax after exploring the souks of Marrakech or trekking through the desert.

Looking for a Mexico escape that feels truly diffe Looking for a Mexico escape that feels truly different? Paradero Todos Santos is a design-forward retreat just an hour from Cabo—yet worlds away in energy.

With only 35 suites, this design-forward eco-friendly boutique hotel trades the usual resort scene for something far more special: cactus-lined hiking trails, surf breaks with no crowds, sea safaris along the Baja coastline, and rooftop hammocks made for stargazing. The desert-meets-ocean setting is unforgettable, and the experience feels both grounding and indulgent.

This is Mexico with a slower rhythm—and it stays with you long after you’ve returned. Ready to experience it? Let’s start planning

Fairytale charm, cutting-edge cuisine, and hygge c Fairytale charm, cutting-edge cuisine, and hygge coziness on every corner – that's Copenhagen for you!

I'm here to help you explore Copenhagen in style! Stroll through Nyhavn with its iconic waterfront houses, stop by a trendy café for a cinnamon roll break, and spend an afternoon biking like a local (Copenhageners love their bicycles!).

Advisor Tip: I always recommend exploring the Torvehallerne food market to taste a smørrebrød or two, and of course, visiting Tivoli Gardens for that old-world magic.

Is Denmark’s capital on your travel list? If not, it should be! Let's plan your Copenhagen getaway with all my insider tips and VIP perks included.

When couples think “romantic getaway,” beach d When couples think “romantic getaway,” beach destinations usually come to mind—but some of the most unforgettable escapes happen far from the shoreline. If you're dreaming of something a little different, here are a few spots that set the mood in their own magical way:

🏞 Scottish Highlands – Storybook castles, moody lochs, and countryside retreats perfect for sharing a fireside whisky and slowing down together.
🌾 Provence, France – Strolls through lavender fields, market mornings, and dinners under the stars in a rustic château.
🍷 Napa Valley – Vineyard picnics, wine tastings, and firelit evenings at charming boutique inns.
🎨 San Miguel de Allende, Mexico – Cobblestone streets, art, and rooftop dinners overlooking glowing pink churches.
⛩ Petra, Jordan – Ancient history and unforgettable sunsets—pair it with a night at a luxury camp nearby.
🌄 Sedona, Arizona – Red rock hikes, spa days, and desert sunsets that feel like pure magic.

Romance looks a little different in each of these places—and that’s what makes them so special. Let’s plan a love-filled escape that’s anything but ordinary.

🌍 Happy Earth Day from Travel By Hart 💚 Tod 🌍 Happy Earth Day from Travel By Hart 💚

Today, I’m holding space for the places that have shaped me—the wild landscapes, the vibrant cultures, and the kind souls I’ve met around the world.

Every journey we take is a chance to give back. To tread a little lighter. To honor the earth and the communities who call it home. 🌿✨

At Travel By Hart, sustainable travel isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the heartbeat of every trip I design. It’s staying in locally owned lodges, supporting artisans, and choosing experiences that protect, rather than exploit, what’s precious.

This Earth Day, I invite you to travel with purpose. With awe. With intention.
Because when we love the planet, she loves us back. 💫

If I could bottle that “relaxed and totally take If I could bottle that “relaxed and totally taken care of” feeling, it would look a lot like Coral Reef Club in Barbados. This family-run boutique resort has been welcoming guests for decades—and it shows in all the best ways. Here’s what makes it special:

The Rooms: Colonial-style cottages tucked into tropical greenery give this place the feel of a Caribbean storybook.

Personal Touch: It's the kind of place where you instantly relax, and by the end of your stay everyone knows your name. (You’re not just a room number here!)

Beach & Spa Bliss: Stroll from a white-sand beach to an award-winning spa hidden in the tropical foliage. Total paradise found.

Craving some Caribbean sunshine? Let's plan your Barbados getaway!

Safari isn't a one-size-fits-all adventure; there Safari isn't a one-size-fits-all adventure; there are so many ways to experience the African wilderness beyond the classic jeep ride. Here are a few safari styles travelers often rave about:

🐘 Classic Safari: Stay in a luxury lodge & spot the Big Five in open-air game drives.
🌄 Walking Safari: Set out on foot with expert guides for a slower, more immersive look at the bush.
🌊 Water Safari: Canoe through Botswana’s Okavango Delta for an up-close look at wildlife.
🌋 Gorilla Trekking: Hike through Rwanda’s misty mountains to meet these gentle giants.

Each type of safari offers something unique, and part of my job is matching you with the experience that will make your wilderness adventure truly unforgettable. Which one is on your list?

Luxury isn’t just about where you stay — it’ Luxury isn’t just about where you stay — it’s about how you show up. 💫
⁣
Travel has transformed me in so many ways — it’s opened my heart, expanded my perspective, and connected me to cultures and people I never would have met otherwise.
⁣
But over time, I began asking myself a deeper question: Is the way I travel giving back as much as it gives to me? 🌍
⁣
That’s when I redefined what luxury means to me — and to my clients. For me, it’s no longer just about comfort or exclusivity.
⁣
✨ It’s about impact.
✨ It’s about community.
✨ It’s about choosing beauty with responsibility.
⁣
In my latest blog post, I’m sharing why sustainable luxury travel isn’t just a value I believe in — it’s the foundation of every journey I plan.

Think booking direct is the best deal? Think again Think booking direct is the best deal? Think again. Here’s why working with a luxury travel advisor takes your hotel stay to the next level:

• You pay the same rate (or sometimes even less), but get more – like complimentary breakfast, spa credits, or a welcome gift waiting in your room.

• I have personal relationships with hotels, so we can request the best rooms or views for you and ensure the staff knows you’re a valued guest.

• If anything goes wrong (flight delays, lost reservations), I'll handle it, so you’re never on your own to fix issues.

Bottom line: Booking with me turns an ordinary hotel stay into a special experience and costs you nothing extra.

Ready to love your journey?
