The pyramids of Giza are visible from the pool. Let that sink in for a second.

Built as a hunting lodge in 1869, Marriott Mena House has expanded and transformed over the following decades, and is now one of the most historically rich hotel experiences in the world. Winston Churchill, Agatha Christie, and heads of state have all been guests. I had the pleasure of enjoying lunch there in December and it it stunning.

The position at the foot of the Giza Plateau means early morning access to the site before the crowds arrive. A private sunrise at the Great Pyramid is one of the more reliable ways to shift how someone thinks about travel entirely.

"Life is short and the world is wide." — Simon Raven

One of the things I love most about travel is having something exciting on the horizon. Sometimes it’s a destination that has lived on your list for years. Sometimes it’s a beach or city waiting to be explored, or simply time set aside with the people who matter most.

The places themselves are memorable, but it’s often the feeling that stays with me.

What destination is inspiring you lately? Let’s talk about your next journey.

Switzerland goes well beyond the postcard.

The mountain views get the attention, but the experience also stays with you: lunch on a terrace while trains move through the Alps below, swimming in lakes surrounded by peaks in summer, riding panoramic rail journeys, then returning in winter for ski days and villages that feel completely transformed under fresh snow.

Peak season in Europe doesn't have to mean crowds. It means knowing where not to go.

Here are a few destinations that deliver the quality of Europe's best without the experience of its most visited:

Madeira: A subtropical island off the coast of Morocco that most travelers underestimate. Not to miss: the hiking trails along the levadas and the food scene in Funchal.

The Azores: Nine volcanic islands in the mid-Atlantic with crater lakes, whale watching, thermal springs, and landscapes that feel unlike anywhere else in Europe. Still largely under the radar.

Slovenia: Ljubljana is one of the most pleasant small capitals in Europe, and Lake Bled is the kind of destination that photographs cannot do justice to. This was one of my personal favorite trips in Europe!

Norway: The fjords in summer deliver some of the most beautiful scenery on the continent, and the quality of light at northern latitudes in June is something clients say they weren't prepared for.

Vienna. Consistently overlooked in favor of Prague and Budapest. The museums, the coffee house culture, the concert season, and the food scene are all at a level that Vienna's reputation doesn't fully convey.

Today we honor the courage, sacrifice, and extraordinary determination of the Allied forces who landed on the beaches of Normandy 82 years ago. Their actions changed the course of history and secured freedoms that we enjoy today.

One of the most moving experiences I’ve had while traveling is visiting the D-Day beaches and memorial in Normandy. Standing on those shores brings history to life in a way that books and movies just can’t.

As part of my 2027 group river cruise through France, we’ll have the opportunity to visit Normandy and pay our respects to those who served and sacrificed during World War II. It is a moving reminder that travel shouldn’t just be about seeing beautiful places, but also about connecting with the stories that shaped our world.
