I've had more than a few clients light up at the idea of the Northern Lights, and I love steering them toward Norway to find them.

Above the Arctic Circle, Alta stays remote enough that the sky and the wilderness take over completely, which is exactly why Norwegian Adventures has been chasing the aurora here for over 20 years. With private guides who track weather patterns rather than settling for a fixed viewpoint, plus dog sledding and ice fishing between hunts, it's a trip built for clients who want more than a single photo of green light in the sky.

For those who want to go a layer deeper, I can also arrange a day with a Sámi reindeer herder, tracking his herd by snowmobile, learning to throw a lasso, and sharing a meal while he talks about a life still lived this way today. There's no script and no set time, just the herd, the weather, and a day that unfolds as it will.

If you have the Northern Lights on your list, Norway is where I'd send you. 📩

Few things in travel are as exciting as a new hotel opening in a city you already love. Here are two on my radar:

has just arrived in Charleston, SC, which feels as charming and unhurried as the city itself. Across the Atlantic, in Florence is set to open in one of Italy's most soul-stirring landscapes where Renaissance beauty meets natural serenity.

Different cities, yet offering the same promise: that the places we return to again and again can still surprise us.

The Arctic isn't a place you simply visit; it’s a vast landscape that stays with you long after the ice has faded from view. ❄️🚢

While the high Arctic beckons, there is a particular magic to be found in the dramatic volcanic reaches of Iceland and the crystalline waters of Greenland.

Handpicked naturalists, expert guides, and world-class photographers on board will help you interpret every glacier and capture every frame, ensuring the story of the destination is told with the depth it deserves.

If you think river cruising is just for retirees… it may be time to change the conversation. Today’s travelers are looking for something different — more freedom, more flexibility, and experiences that feel effortless rather than over-scheduled.

That’s exactly where Roam by Tauck comes in. Roam is Tauck’s new collection of small-group journeys designed for active, culturally curious travelers who want the ease and service of guided travel, without a rigid, hour-by-hour script. Think longer stays, fewer hotel moves, standout food and wine, active experiences, and time to truly recharge, all while traveling with like-minded guests.

And for those who love the simplicity of unpacking once, select Roam by Tauck river itineraries bring this same philosophy to Europe’s iconic waterways, blending immersive shore experiences with the comfort of river cruising. From guided hikes in Austria to cooking classes in Budapest and biking through Portugal’s vineyards, these journeys keep the focus on exploration, not just the ship.

Some of the most romantic escapes aren’t about grand gestures; they’re about slowing down, unplugging, and being together. Here are my top picks for romantic retreats around the world:

🫶🏻 A hidden, soulful side of Mykonos where sunset rituals, secluded coves, and insider-only experiences reveal the island beyond the scene.

💕 Ultra-private hillside villas, sunset cocktails at the Tree Bar, and effortless all-inclusive luxury, in Antigua, designed for uninterrupted time together.

🌸 Architectural drama, open-air sanctuaries, and panoramic Piton views that turn stillness and nature into the ultimate romantic backdrop.

💝 A private atoll escape, in French Polynesia, offering Valentine’s dinners under Tahitian stars paired with slow island mornings, seasonal sea-turtle releases, and island activities meant for two.

Thoughtfully chosen places make all the difference, and that’s where I come in. Reach out to discover the perfect romantic destination for you and your loved one.
