TRAVEL OPINIONS I WILL STAND BEHIND. ✈️

I plan a lot of travel. I take a lot of travel. And yes, I have opinions. 😂

1. A great hotel in the wrong location is the wrong hotel.

2. Carry-on whenever you can. You need less than you think.

3. Nonstop flights are worth paying for. Within reason. 😉

4. A fantastic meal is absolutely an activity.

5. Spend on the experiences you’ll remember. That’s where it matters.

6. Learn a few words in the local language. Always.

7. If there’s a boat involved, I’m probably going.

8. Take the photo. Get in the photo.

Okay, your turn.

What’s a travel opinion YOU will stand behind? 👇

Good travel has breathing room. Enough room to wander through a market, buy a fig, and eat it right there!

But what “good travel” looks like is different for everyone.

Some people want to get up early and GO. Some want a slow morning and really good coffee. Some could spend hours in a museum. Others would much rather wander a neighborhood, find a market, hike to a view, or settle in somewhere for a long lunch.

There isn’t one right way to travel.

That’s why I start by listening.

What are you curious about? What do you love? How do you actually like to spend your days? What makes you tired? What gets you excited? What would make you come home thinking, that was exactly our kind of trip?

From there, I build the anchors: the experiences, places and reservations that give the trip shape and reflect what matters to you.

Leaving room for the market. Room for the fig. Room to change your mind, follow your curiosity, or simply enjoy the place you worked so hard to get to.

Because there should always be room for the fig.

What place do you keep dreaming about? ✈️

You know the one.

The trip you and your friends keep talking about. The place you keep saying, “We HAVE to go there someday.”

Maybe someday should be 2027. 😊

You bring me the daydream. I’ll help turn it into a trip that feels completely yours, from where to stay and what to experience to how it all fits together.

No hundreds of open tabs. No wondering if you’re doing it right. Just a thoughtfully planned trip built around the way you want to travel.

So tell me...

Where are you dreaming of going? 🌎

This little guy has the right idea.

Find the good stuff. Stay awhile.

That’s pretty much how I want you to feel when you travel, too.

Not wondering if you booked the right train. Not trying to figure out how to get from the airport to the hotel. Not realizing halfway through the day that you planned three things that are nowhere near each other.

That’s my job.

I think about the timing, logistics, reservations, neighborhoods, great places to stay and what actually makes sense together. And just as importantly, I make sure there’s room in your trip to enjoy it.

You should be looking up. Wandering. Eating. Laughing. Lingering. And, actually being on vacation.

I’ll worry about the rest.

Spring breaks, graduations, anniversaries, family adventures or simply somewhere you’ve been dreaming about for years. If 2027 has a trip in it, this is a very good time to start talking.

Have something in mind for 2027? Tell me where you want to go and let's make it magical.

🍂 LET’S FALL TOGETHER 🍂

And, let’s do this a little closer to home.

Join me Saturday, November 7 from 5–7ish at Forestry Camp in Asheville for a casual fall gathering of friends, travelers, adventurers and wonderful people.

No agenda. Just drinks, stories, laughter, catching up and probably a little dreaming about where we might go next.

Come to just to visit. Come if we’ve traveled together. Come if I’ve planned a trip for you. Come if you just want to meet some fun people.

I’d love to see you. Send me a message if you can make it! 🍂

November 7 | 5–7ish | Forestry Camp, Asheville

The best parts of a trip rarely make it onto the itinerary.

They’re the inside jokes that start on day two. The lunch that runs long because no one wants to leave. The swim you almost skipped. The tiny place you stumble into and talk about for the rest of the trip.

That’s what I love most about traveling with a small group.

Yes, I plan the beautiful hotels, great meals, local guides and experiences worth getting excited about. But as the trip to unfolds - people to connect and something unexpected becomes the thing everyone remembers.

We always come home with plenty of beautiful photos, but even better stories.

Maybe this is your kind of travel, too. ❤️

A trip often sits in the “someday” category. Sometimes, you realize someday is actually this March.

I’m taking a very small group to Barcelona + Catalonia, March 14–20, 2027, for a week filled with art, architecture, incredible food, beautiful landscapes and plenty of time to enjoy one of my favorite cities.

If you’ve been watching this trip and thinking, “I would love to do that…”
This is your nudge. Sign up ends November 30, 2026 so hop on now.

BARCELONA + CATALONIA�MARCH 14–20, 2027

10/21/2026

Come for Barcelona - then let Catalonia surprise you.
One of the reasons I designed this trip as Barcelona + Catalonia is because I don’t want us to experience the city in isolation. We’ll explore Barcelona’s neighborhoods, architecture and food, but we’ll also get beyond the city.

Beyond Barcelona itself - let's explore.....
Girona + Dalí. Montserrat + Penedès.
Culture + countryside.
Extraordinary food + w**e.

One hotel. No constant packing and unpacking. A wonderful home base and a week of very different experiences.
That balance is intentional.

There’s something special that happens when the right people come together in the right place.

It’s one of the reasons I keep my groups small.
Small enough to sit around one table.
Small enough to move through a neighborhood easily.
Small enough to know one another, laugh together, and share the experience, while still having the freedom to wander off and do your own thing.

Sardinia reminded me all over again how much the people you travel with become part of the story. Travel can be personal AND shared. That’s exactly what I want these trips to be.

Next up: Barcelona + Catalonia, March 14–21, 2027. And yes, there’s still time to come with me. Trip details in the first comment. ↓
