Flamenco, tapas, and Andalusian magic—welcome to Seville!

I love helping clients experience it like an insider, with the kind of details that make all the difference.

Catch a private flamenco performance in Triana—it’s where the locals go, and the energy is unforgettable. Walk through orange-scented plazas, pop into tucked-away tapas bars, and save time for a rooftop cocktail with Giralda views (we know a few perfect spots).

This city invites you to slow down and soak it all in. Let’s plan a trip that captures the magic.

Have you heard of noctotourism? 🌙 It's all about one-of-a-kind travel experiences that come alive at night. Here's a glimpse at one of the coolest travel trends I'm seeing lately:

✨ Chasing the Northern Lights above the Arctic Circle – nature's most dazzling light show.

✨ Stargazing at Sun City Camp in Jordan’s Wadi Rum – luxury desert camping with skies so clear, the Milky Way feels close enough to touch.

✨ Firefly festivals in Japan – watch thousands of tiny lanterns (yes, fireflies!) light up summer nights

✨ Wine tasting by moonlight in Athens – sip Greek wines under the stars with the Acropolis in the background.

✨ Hot air balloons glowing against the night sky in Cappadocia, Turkey – yes, the magic doesn’t stop at sunrise.

✨ Gliding through New Zealand's Waitomo Caves – drift on an underground river as glowworms create a galaxy on the cave ceiling.

Which of these nocturnal wonders would you try first? Tell me your pick or ask how I can get you there – I'm here to plan your after-dark adventure.

Looking for a Mexico escape that feels truly different? Paradero Todos Santos is a design-forward retreat just an hour from Cabo—yet worlds away in energy.

With only 35 suites, this design-forward boutique hotel trades the usual resort scene for something far more special: cactus-lined hiking trails, surf breaks with no crowds, sea safaris along the Baja coastline, and rooftop hammocks made for stargazing. The desert-meets-ocean setting is unforgettable, and the experience feels both grounding and indulgent.

This is Mexico with a slower rhythm—and it stays with you long after you’ve returned. Ready to experience it? Let’s start planning.

Clients often ask me how they can incorporate wellness into their travels, and I love telling them about India:

• Sunrise Yoga in the Himalayas – Fresh mountain air, golden light, and a view that makes Warrior II feel like an entirely new experience.

• Canoeing Through Kerala’s Backwaters – Slow travel at its best—drift past greenery and floating villages.

• Meditation in a Rajasthani Palace – Trade distractions for tranquility in a regal setting that feels designed for stillness and clarity.

• Holi in Full Color – India’s most joyful festival, where the only rule is to embrace the chaos (and maybe wear clothes you don’t mind turning rainbow).

It’s a joy to see travelers return from India not only with amazing memories, but also feeling refreshed and inspired. If you’re looking for a journey that nurtures your well-being, let’s start planning your trip to India!

I don’t throw the word “transformative” around lightly, but Kasbah Tamadot earns it.

Tucked in the foothills of Morocco’s Atlas Mountains and owned by Sir Richard Branson, this property feels like a well-kept secret passed between people who truly know how to travel.

The hotel itself is stunning—Berber tents with private plunge pools, mosaic-tiled courtyards, and mountain views from nearly every angle.

I can build this into an itinerary for clients who want a deeper connection to Morocco—somewhere to relax after exploring the souks of Marrakech or trekking through the desert. Let’s start planning!

When couples think “romantic getaway,” beach destinations usually come to mind—but some of the most unforgettable escapes happen far from the shoreline. If you're dreaming of something a little different, here are a few spots that set the mood in their own magical way:

🏞 Scottish Highlands – Storybook castles, moody lochs, and countryside retreats perfect for sharing a fireside whisky and slowing down together.
🌾 Provence, France – Strolls through lavender fields, market mornings, and dinners under the stars in a rustic château.
🍷 Napa Valley – Vineyard picnics, wine tastings, and firelit evenings at charming boutique inns.
🎨 San Miguel de Allende, Mexico – Cobblestone streets, art, and rooftop dinners overlooking glowing pink churches.
⛩ Petra, Jordan – Ancient history and unforgettable sunsets—pair it with a night at a luxury camp nearby.
🌄 Sedona, Arizona – Red rock hikes, spa days, and desert sunsets that feel like pure magic.

Romance looks a little different in each of these places—and that’s what makes them so special. Let’s plan a love-filled escape that’s anything but ordinary.
