Castles, countryside, and a bit of Irish magic🍀

I just returned from Ireland with my local partners at Crafted Ireland, where we discovered the best of the Emerald Isle. One morning was spent on a walk with Ashford Castle’s hawks and wolfhounds. One night we learned traditional Irish dance steps in a local pub with a pint of Guinness. Another day our guide sang “Danny Boy” as we stood in the Wicklow Mountains. Best of all, we sat down with local artisans who showcased the crafts their families have practiced for generations against the backdrop of rolling hills and stunning lochs.

Add stays at iconic hotels like Adare Manor, Ballyfin, The Killarney Park, Ashford Castle, and more, and I came home with a full heart and a notebook of ideas.

Thank you for showing us the gems of Ireland!

There's a reason Bora Bora shows up on so many bucket lists: perfectly blue water, pristine beaches, and 360 views that don’t seem real. 🌴🌊

One of my go-to stays here is the St. Regis Bora Bora, with its overwater villas, private plunge pools, and Mount Otemanu in the distance. It’s the kind of place made for taking it all in, and it never disappoints.

This one's for the honeymooners, the anniversary trips, the ""we've been dreaming about this for years"" travelers. If slow mornings and impossibly clear water sound like your kind of trip, let's talk about getting you there.

The 2026 MICHELIN Key Hotels were recently announced, and of course, several favorites made the list. Here are a few picks that will leave a lasting impression on your travels:

Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, Costa Rica - Tucked into the Papagayo Peninsula, this resort feels like your own private treehouse above the tropics, with suites overlooking the waterscape and an 18-hole Ocean Course.

Las Casitas, a Belmond Hotel, Peru - A property in the heart of the Andes, with 20 cottages and days spent hiking, riding, and spotting wildlife across the peaks.

Borgo Santandrea, Italy - Experience the Amalfi Coast in luxurious Mediterranean style through relaxing on the private beach and feasting on delicious coastal cuisine.

One&Only Gorilla’s Nest, Rwanda - Discover an immersive African rainforest experience, stay in treehouses, dine farm-to-table with produce grown just steps away, and unwind at their Jungle Spa.

Aman Tokyo, Japan - One of the world's most sought-after destinations, Japan offers impeccable views of Tokyo and once-in-a-lifetime experiences, from Iaido swordsmanship sessions to river cruises, sumo matches, and handcrafted sushi.

Rosewood Matakauri, New Zealand - On Lake Wakatipu, take in gorgeous mountain views by stargazing, heliskiing, or helicopter ride.

Which will you explore next?

There's a version of France you only meet when you're not rushing to see it. One that unfolds slowly, from the deck of a boat drifting through Burgundy at a pace made for lingering.

My partners at Belmond are bringing that kind of France to life aboard their reimagined barge, Marguerite, and the days are yours to shape. Enjoy a private mustard workshop in Dijon, explore historic châteaux at your own pace, and sample local wines alongside a private chef.

There’s nothing to rush or check off. It’s just Burgundy, at your own speed. If that sounds like your kind of trip, let’s chat!

Some hotels are simply places to stay in between your adventures. Yet these three properties are made for slowing down and settling in.

At , wellness and cuisine are central to this working ranch. Their spa pairs you with specialists who tailor everything from sleep to movement, and the culinary program follows the same philosophy, drawing on what's grown just outside the door.

At , the pace is set by the coastline itself. Along Puerto Los Cabos, days move gently between ancestral rituals at Spa Alkemia, quiet walks through native gardens, a round of golf, or a few hours by the waves if that's what the day calls for.

takes a different kind of slow: 22 acres tucked between mountains and vineyards, where you can enjoy seasonal cuisine at Solbar, head out to experience the charm of Napa Valley, or sink into one of five geothermal pools at Spa Solage until the day just dissolves.

A hotel shouldn't just be where you land between activities. These three are made for slow days and a pace that's entirely yours. Let's talk about which one fits your next getaway.

The Mediterranean in winter is a version few travelers see, yet it's one of my favorite times to visit.

My partners at Explora Journeys just opened new sailings through the region from November through March, and they're built for exactly this season. Think mild days by heated pools, fewer crowds, and ports that stay quiet enough to actually explore. And new stops like La Gomera, Algiers, and Palamós give travelers the chance to explore places that mainstream voyages skip over, leaving them practically untouched.

If exploring the Mediterranean in the slow season has been on your mind, why not experience it from your own floating hotel? Reach out and let’s set sail!

Sun Valley just became the first DarkSky Certified Resort in the U.S., and the timing couldn't be better. Resort-wide dark sky compliance means places like Bald Mountain, Trail Creek, and even the village itself now offer some of the clearest night sky viewing in the country.

And this November, Sun Valley's first new luxury hotel since 1928 opens right in the middle of it. The Observatory Sun Valley, A Viceroy Resort sits at the gateway to downtown Ketchum, with a rooftop observatory and active telescope built to take full advantage of the Central Idaho Dark Sky Reserve. Add a full-service spa, hydrotherapy circuit, and sweeping Rocky Mountain views, and it's shaping up to be one of my favorite openings of the year.

Stargazing, skiing, and a brand-new luxury address, all in one trip? Sun Valley is officially on my radar this winter.

Some trips you take, but an African safari is one that takes you. The seemingly endless sky, herds moving across open plains, and the way everyone goes quiet the second an animal comes into view is a feeling you really can't prepare for. But the key to a truly unforgettable safari is someone who knows all of the ins and outs of the details, such as knowing where the Great Migration's herds are likely to be on any given day. That’s why I work with my partners at Exeter Safari Company, who can help make it happen for my clients, ensuring every detail is taken care of. The end result? A safari you'll be talking about for years.
