Is Portugal on your radar? If not, then let me tempt you with something sweet: the famous Pastel de Nata — a warm, flaky pastry filled with creamy custard. You’ll find them everywhere in Portugal, but the ones from Belém in Lisbon? Absolutely legendary.

Portugal is a beautiful destination you can explore in just a week — from cobblestone streets to seaside towns. You can even enjoy it while cruising the Douro on a River Cruise, where every detail is handled for you.🍷

It’s not every day I get to say “first time for everything” in my travel planning world—but today’s one of those days! 🌍

I just helped a client plan a trip to Georgia—and no, not the one with peaches and pecans. I’m talking about the country of Georgia, where ancient monasteries meet stunning mountain landscapes. In my research I learned that it has some of the oldest wine traditions in the world (who knew??).

This was my first time booking this destination—and though I’ve never been, it’s always exciting when I get to explore new corners of the globe right alongside my adventurous clients.
