Egypt has been on bucket lists for about 4,000 years, and it has never been a better trip than right now.

The Grand Egyptian Museum is finally open in full, with Tutankhamun's complete collection displayed together for the first time in history. Pair it with sunrise at the pyramids before the crowds arrive, a few nights sailing the Nile on a private dahabiya, and the Valley of the Kings with an expert Egyptologist bringing every painted wall to life.

October through April is prime season on the Nile. Reach out, and I'll get you there.

Three signs it's time to work with a travel advisor:

1. You have 27 tabs open and less clarity than when you started. Endless reviews contradict each other. I've been to these places and can tell you in one call what actually fits.

2. The trip matters. Honeymoon, big anniversary, a once-in-a-lifetime destination. When the stakes are high, guesswork gets expensive, and a wrong hotel choice can't be refunded in memories.

3. You're the one who plans everything for everyone, and you'd like to actually be on this vacation instead of running it.

Sound familiar? Send me a message and see the difference on the very first trip.

The trips I'd start planning now? Almost all of them are at least a year away. Here's what's on the drawing board.

Japan for cherry blossom season. A villa summer in Europe. Patagonia at peak trekking season. Marbella or Tangier for front-row seats to the next total solar eclipse. Tuscany for the milestone birthday, and Bora Bora for the anniversary.

The common thread is lead time. These are the trips I lock in 12 to 18 months ahead, because the best guides, rooms, and dates genuinely run out. Eclipse week most of all.

If a big trip year is on your horizon, now is the time to say so. Send me a message, and I'll get started.

A client recently asked me what it would take to rent out an entire resort. In Anguilla, less than you'd guess.

ANI Anguilla hosts one group at a time. Two villas on the cliffs above Little Bay, up to 20 guests, and a staff ratio of one to one. Your own chef, daily spa treatments, a sunset cruise, watersports, and kids activities are all built into the rate, so nobody is signing checks all week.

My favorite moment here: waking up, walking down to the water, and starting the day swimming with the sea turtles that live in Little Bay.

Milestone birthdays, reunions, families who have outgrown hotel life. This is where I send them all. Reach out to learn more.

What do I recommend to clients who have already done the classic safari? A salt pan the size of a small country.

Jack's Camp is set on the edge of Botswana's Makgadikgadi Pans, and it does safari like nowhere else on the continent. The signature experiences here exist almost nowhere else: sitting at sunrise with a habituated colony of meerkats (they'll climb onto your shoulder to use you as a lookout), walking the desert with Zu/'hoasi San guides who read the land like a book, and riding quad bikes far out onto the pans to sleep under a ceiling of stars.

The camp itself is legendary, rebuilt in its original 1940s expedition style with Persian rugs, brass fittings, and a tent that doubles as a working natural history museum. In the wet months, a little-known zebra migration moves through the grasslands.

Consider this the safari that surprises even the seasoned. Let's get you out on the pans.

My favorite under-the-radar Mediterranean capital? Valletta. And I know exactly where you should stay.

Iniala Valletta is the only Forbes Five-Star hotel in Malta, four years running, and it just received the country's first two Michelin Keys. The hotel occupies a row of centuries-old townhouses on St. Barbara Bastion, looking straight across the Grand Harbour. Just 23 rooms, each one different, with a spa carved into the old stone vaults below.

The rooftop is the showstopper: ION Harbour by Simon Rogan, the most celebrated dining room in the country, with the harbor and the Three Cities glowing across the water at sunset. Book that table before you book your flights.

Malta squeezes 7,000 years of history into a few square miles, and this is the place to sleep in the middle of it. Let's plan it.

Do you really need a private guide? Sometimes no. Sometimes it transforms the entire trip. Here's how I call it.

Worth every penny: layered ancient sites like Egypt, Rome, Kyoto, and Machu Picchu, where the stones don't explain themselves and a great guide turns rubble into a story. Food cities, where the best stalls have no sign and no English menu. Wildlife, where a trained eye spots what you'd walk right past. And your first day somewhere intense, like Cairo or Delhi, where a guide turns chaos into context.

Skip it: beach weeks, cities you already know well, and days you've deliberately left open to wander.

The real secret is that who matters more than whether. A brilliant guide is the difference between a tour and a memory, and I keep a short list of the brilliant ones. Ask me about them.

How does being one of the very first guests on the Riviera's newest private island sound?

Zannier Île de Bendor opened just this May, so hardly anyone has experienced it yet. The whole island is yours to roam, seven minutes by boat from Bandol, reimagined as a completely car-free village with 93 rooms spread across three houses, each with its own personality.

Fill the days however you like. Swim off the beach cove, take a lesson at the on-site diving center, wander between eight restaurants and bars, or disappear into one of the largest spas in the region for an afternoon.

Openings like this have a short window before the word gets out. Get in touch and be early.

The biggest shift in how my clients book right now: the why comes before the where.

Purpose-first travel, some are calling them whycations, starts with the reason instead of the destination. Celebrating a milestone. Learning something real, like cooking in Oaxaca or sailing in Croatia. Getting three generations around one table. Marking a recovery, a retirement, a new chapter. The place gets chosen because it serves the purpose, not the other way around.

Honestly, these are my favorite requests. Tell me the why, and I'll handle everything after it.

One island. Safari, tea country, ancient cities, and beaches. Sri Lanka might be the most complete destination I book. Here are just a few of the highlights:

Leopards in Yala National Park, home to one of the densest leopard populations on earth. The hill country train, gliding past tea estates on what many call the most beautiful rail ride in the world. Sigiriya, a royal fortress built on top of a rock rising 600 feet out of the jungle. Galle's 17th-century Dutch fort, now full of boutiques and cafés. And the south coast beaches to end on.

The hotel scene deserves its own mention, with colonial-era tea bungalows, design hotels shaped by the legacy of architect Geoffrey Bawa, and safari camps that rival Africa's.
