Vietnam is not a one-stop trip. Basket boats, river valleys, limestone bays, temples, rice terraces, and a very good bowl of noodles all belong to the same country! 🇻🇳

The range is the appeal, but it is also the planning challenge. A coast-and-culture trip moves differently from one built around the north, and adding every famous stop can create more transit than experience.

I start by deciding which version of Vietnam matters most to the client. Then I connect landscapes, cities, food, and time on the water at a pace that leaves room to enjoy them. Good routing matters as much here as the hotel list.

Vietnam keeps climbing client wish lists for a reason. Reach out to start planning! ✨

Chileno Bay is one of the few resorts I book twice for the same clients: once for the honeymoon, and again a few years later when the kids come along.

It works both times for the same reasons. The resort fronts a protected cove with calm, clear water and coral just off the sand, with paddleboards and snorkel gear waiting at the beach. Glass-walled rooms and villas keep the view everywhere you look, and a three-tier pool spills down toward the water.

Guests rave about Comal, where Baja-Mediterranean dinners arrive with the sunset, but it's TnT, the casual taco-and-tequila spot, that you shouldn't leave without trying.

Advisor tip: if you visit in winter, watch the horizon at breakfast for gray whales passing through.

This is the Cabo resort my clients grow up with. Reach out to start planning.

Planning Portugal and only thinking about Lisbon? Allow me to make the case for the north.

Porto is one of Europe’s great second cities, and Infante Sagres is its grande dame.

Opened in 1951 as the city’s first luxury hotel, it has hosted royalty, heads of state, and film stars ever since. The stained-glass staircase alone is worth walking up and down twice.

The location is the other reason I book it: you’re in the heart of downtown, an easy walk to Livraria Lello, the Ribeira riverfront, and the port wine lodges across the river in Gaia.

Insider tip: pair Porto with the Douro Valley, about 90 minutes away, for wine country after the city. Reach out to start planning.

The number one resort in Southeast Asia, according to Travel + Leisure, is ten villas on a Philippine surf island most travelers can't find on a map. Allow me to introduce you! 🏝️

Nay Palad Hideaway is all-inclusive in a way that makes other all-inclusives look like they're holding back. Condé Nast Traveler just added it to its Gold List, and Michelin gave it a Key. Every massage on the spa menu, every island-hopping boat, every surf lesson near the famous Cloud 9 break is included before you even think to ask.

The setting matches the service. Ten villas between an ancient mangrove forest and a private white-sand bay, wrapped in sculptural woven architecture, with hanging nest pods in the palms and an infinity pool facing the Pacific ✨

Ten villas, one island. Reach out, and I'll get you one of them! 😎

“Is a Nile cruise actually worth it?” I get this question constantly. My answer: on the right boat, it might be the best hotel in Egypt. And it moves!

Historia Boutique Nile River Cruise sails between Luxor and Aswan, designed around the glamour of 1920s river travel with a fully contemporary interior. Around 40 cabins, floor-to-ceiling windows facing the water, a rooftop pool deck, and a spa on board.

The real luxury is the format. You unpack once, and the temples come to you. Karnak and the Valley of the Kings, then Edfu, Kom Ombo, and Philae, each visited with expert Egyptologist guides while the boat handles every mile in between.

Advisor tip: itineraries run three, four, or seven nights, and the direction you sail changes the pacing. I’ll help you pick the right one. I absolutely loved my Nile River Cruise! Let’s start planning 🇪🇬

Did you know one of Africa's greatest safaris happens almost entirely on water?

Eagle Island Lodge, a Belmond property, occupies a private island deep in the Okavango Delta, one of the most remarkable ecosystems on Earth: a desert that floods every year into a maze of channels, lagoons, and islands teeming with wildlife.

The safari itself is unlike anywhere else in Africa. Gliding through the reeds in a mokoro, the traditional dugout canoe. Boat safaris through papyrus channels. And the lodge's signature: helicopter flights over the Delta with the doors off, which clients consistently call the highlight of their entire trip.

Water, wildlife, and almost no one else around. Reach out to start planning! 🐘

Want three unique trips for the price of one flight? That’s Thailand 🇹🇭

Bangkok first: rooftop dinners, riverside hotels, street food that outperforms restaurants triple the price.

Then north to Chiang Mai for temples, artisan villages, and ethical elephant encounters in the hills 🐘

Then the islands. Powder beaches, limestone cliffs rising out of green water, and some of the best beach resorts in Asia! 🏝️

The routing between regions is where a trip gets made or broken. That’s my job. If Thailand is on your list, message me I'd love to help!

to sipping rosé all day aboard a stunning Alaska cruise! 🥂🛳️

There are SO many reasons to explore Alaska by cruise ship, but here are my top 5:

🏔️ Stunning Scenery — Cruise past towering glaciers, snow-capped mountains, dramatic coastlines, and breathtaking wilderness!

🐋 Amazing Wildlife — Spot whales, bald eagles, bears, sea otters, and other incredible wildlife in their natural habitat from the comfort of your own balcony (while sipping coffee or wine)

🧊 See Glaciers Up Close — Experience massive glaciers calving into the sea and get a front-row view of Alaska’s icy wonders.

🛶 Unforgettable Adventures — Take a seaplane to remote fjords, kayak on pristine lakes, hike across glaciers, or fish for wild salmon—to name just a few! The options are endless.

🚢 The Best of Alaska, All in One Trip — Explore multiple destinations while unpacking just once, with incredible views and the comforts of your cruise ship along the way!

Considering an Alaska cruise? Reach out, I’m happy to help!

“Wellness travel isn’t really for me.” I hear it constantly, usually right before I change someone’s mind. A few myths worth clearing up:

Myth one: it’s just spa days. Modern wellness travel includes sleep programs, longevity diagnostics, fitness retreats, and medical-grade health assessments at some of the world’s top resorts.

Myth two: you have to give things up. Plenty of programs come with exceptional food, wine with dinner, and zero judgment. Wellness and enjoyment are not opposites.

Myth three: it requires a dedicated trip. Some of my best results come as a layer: two spa days built into a safari, a sleep program at the start of a long Asia itinerary, a few days of movement and recovery after a busy city stretch.

Myth four: it’s only for wellness people. The skeptics tend to come back the most converted.

Curious what this could look like on your next trip? That’s a conversation I’d love to have.

Dreaming of Kyoto but dreading the crowds? Same. This is my answer.

Aman Kyoto occupies a hidden forest garden in the hills of northern Kyoto, assembled decades ago by a textile collector and closed to the public ever since. It's the rarest kind of real estate in this city: total privacy, minutes from the icons 🙌

Why I book it:
• Location without the chaos. The Golden Pavilion is minutes away, yet the property feels like a private national park. No lines, no tour groups, no noise.
• A true onsen. The bathhouse is fed by natural hot springs, something almost impossible to find within Kyoto itself.
• Space, finally. Kyoto hotel rooms are famously tight. These pavilions are among the largest in the city, with forest views from every window.
• The Aman guides. Private access and after-hours temple experiences that guests can't arrange on their own.

Advisor tip: November here is astonishing. The maples turn, and the whole garden glows red and gold! 🍁

Kyoto is the trip everyone wants right now. Reach out to start planning! 😎
