🍸If your favourite cocktail could book you a plane ticket… where would you go first?

From mojitos in Havana to Aperol Spritzes on the Amalfi Coast, every destination has a flavour, a vibe, and a story waiting to be experienced.

Travel isn’t just about seeing the world — it’s about tasting it, feeling it, and creating memories you’ll talk about long after the last sip.

So tell me… 👇

One of the most valuable parts of this conference isn’t just the ship… it’s the connections 🤝

Tonight I had the opportunity to have dinner with the Club Med BDM — a chance to have real conversations about their product and get to know each other beyond emails

These relationships matter more than most people realize — they help me better match my clients to the right experiences and advocate for you when it counts

This is the behind-the-scenes side of travel planning 💼✨

Did you know we have an all-inclusive Club Med Mountain Resort in Quebec Charlevoix Canada? Perfect for family skiing in the winter (and parents don’t have to do any of the work 🙌) or hiking in the summer.

Or how about Club Med Cancun, being renovated in time for next years winter getaway?

Have you ever stayed at a Club Med resort? Once your kids experience it, they’ll never want to all-inclusive anywhere else!

Officially onboard the Celebrity Silhouette with Celebrity Cruises 🚢

This week I’m attending the TTAND Travel Advisor Conference at sea — connecting with top travel suppliers, learning what’s new, developing friendships with travel advisors from across Canada and experiencing Celebrity Cruises firsthand.

It’s one thing to research a trip… it’s another to actually be here

That’s how I make sure I’m recommending the right experiences for my clients — not just what looks good online

First impressions of Celebrity… already impressed 👀

Today I toured Wonder of the Seas — one of the largest cruise ships in the world 🤯

This is exactly the kind of firsthand experience I bring to my clients when helping you choose the right cruise

Not all ships are created equal 👀

Travel has changed what gratitude means to me.

The more I explore outside my own corner of the world, the more I realize it’s often the smallest moments that stay with me the longest.

🍷 Drinking wine with friends shoulder to shoulder on a bridge in Germany, taking in the views of castles, rivers, and architecture that have been there for centuries.

🌧 Dancing in the rain on a catamaran off the coast of Jamaica, rum punch in hand, vibing to reggae music with people who were strangers just hours earlier but made a huge impact in my life.

☕ Experiencing “fika” in Sweden — the idea that you should pause your day for coffee, something sweet, and good conversation … and bonus if it’s with your favourite people.

Moments like these are a big part of why I love travel — and why I love helping others experience it too.

What travel moment changed your perspective?

River cruising has quietly become one of my favourite ways to experience Europe.

You wake up, grab a coffee, and the scenery just keeps changing outside your window.

A few itineraries I’ve been loving lately:

🎄Christmas Markets — sailing past castles and storybook towns while hopping between Europe’s most magical Christmas markets.

🏰 Rhine & Moselle: Canals, Vineyards & Castles — winding through vineyard valleys and tiny medieval villages most travelers never see.

🍷 Burgundy & Provence — southern France, wine villages, markets, and time on the French Riviera.

Small ships. Dock right in town. No packing and unpacking.

Just Europe drifting by outside your window.

If river cruising through Europe is on your wish list, you can start our conversation using cruise inquiry form in my bio.

Thank you, Olympics, for the reminder that while some people watch the Games and feel inspired to work out, I watch and immediately start planning my next trip to Italy. 😍

Because the Dolomites are spectacular in every sense, and I could absolutely spend a week doing nothing but staring at mountains, eating well, and rotating between spa treatments.🧖🏼‍♀️

If you’ve caught yourself googling the Dolomites mid-commercial break… same.
So let’s channel that inspiration properly 👇

These are the kinds of places you bookmark when you’re dreaming big (or manifesting hard):

✨ Forestis – Ultra-minimalist, adults-only calm with jaw-dropping mountain views and a spa that feels almost spiritual. Peak “disappear from real life” energy.

✨ COMO Alpina Dolomites – Sleek alpine design, ski-in/ski-out access, and one of the most stunning high-altitude settings in Europe. Cozy, chic, and very quiet luxury.

✨ Lefay Resort & Spa Dolomiti – Wellness-focused, nature-immersed, and perfect if your ideal vacation includes spa circuits, slow mornings, and zero guilt about doing absolutely nothing.

➡️ Saving this for later? Which one are you choosing — Forestis, COMO Alpina, or Lefay?

When you’re ready to turn the daydream into a real trip, I’ve got you.

Playing favourites for just a minute.
Swipe for some of the trips I’m planning for clients this year that truly live up to the buzz.

Thoughtful pacing, intentional details, and experiences that go beyond the highlight reel.

I may not be taking these trips — but I love being the one behind the scenes making them unforgettable.

Which one would you steal for yourself? 👀
