Is this the best under-the-radar resort in all of Mexico? It just might be.

One&Only Mandarina somehow blends wild jungle, cliffside ocean views, swimmable white sand beaches and unapologetic luxury without ever feeling flashy. It reminds me of the magic of Costa Rica, Bali and Big Sur all wrapped into one extraordinary place.

Treehouses suspended in the jungle canopy. Villas carved into emerald cliffs. Ocean air. Silence. Adventure. Space to reconnect.

And right now, the offers are REALLY good:
• Stay 4 nights for the price of 3
• Stay 7 nights for the price of 5
• Select dates also include 3 nights for the price of 2

When you book through me, my clients also receive preferred perks and VIP treatment through my Virtuoso partnerships that can include upgrades, resort credits, daily breakfast and personalized care before and during your stay.

If this place is even remotely on your radar, message me directly and I’ll send over the full details, perks and best available offers.

Tauck just announced women-only departures through Ireland, Italy, and Portugal for 2026 + I have a feeling these are going to be wildly popular.

Small groups. Incredible hotels. Wine tastings. Castle stays. Truffle hunting. Coastal dinners. Private cultural experiences. And the kind of travel where everything feels easy because it’s been thoughtfully handled from start to finish.

What I love most is the intention behind these departures. They’re designed for women who want connection as much as they want adventure.

Solo travelers wanting community.
Moms + daughters celebrating something meaningful.
Sisters reconnecting.
Friends finally taking the trip they’ve talked about for years.

Each journey is led by a female Tauck Director and averages only 20–24 guests, which keeps the experience intimate, comfortable, and personal.

If Europe in the fall sounds like your kind of reset, this is worth looking at now before availability disappears.

DM me “TAUCK” for itineraries, pricing, and dates.

Good morning to my friends and clients! Time to travel!

I’ve done an expedition like this with and once you do, it’s hard to go back.

This is small ship, true exploration. You’re not just passing through places, you’re getting into them. Zodiacs to shore. Remote landings. Days that feel active, not scripted.

And the part people don’t expect… who you’re with. Smaller groups, like-minded travelers, shared experiences that turn into real friendships.

This itinerary runs Dublin to Edinburgh on the Douglas Mawson… built for this kind of travel. Stable, smart, and designed to get you closer to where you actually want to be.

If Ireland and Scotland are on your list, this is how I’d do it.

DM me “EXPEDITION” and I’ll walk you through it.

Here’s the reality.

Most travel insurance looks solid. Until something actually goes wrong.

Delays. Cancellations. Medical issues. That’s when you find out what you really bought.

There’s a big difference between generic policies and coverage that is built for real travel scenarios.

I work with a Custom Travel Secure Plan that only a small number of agencies in the U.S. are authorized to offer. It is designed to actually protect your time, your investment, and your trip.

This is one of those details people overlook. Until they can’t.

If you’re planning a trip + want to understand your options, reach out. I’ll walk you through it.

I don’t talk about cruises unless they’re worth it.

This is one of them.

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection isn’t built like a traditional cruise. It’s designed to feel more like a private yacht or boutique hotel at sea. Smaller ships. Fewer guests. A completely different pace.

What that actually means:
• One of the highest space-per-guest ratios in the industry
• Nearly one crew member for every guest
• A younger, more modern crowd (average age around early 50s)

And yes… it’s truly all-inclusive.
Dining, premium alcohol, gratuities. No constant add-ons once you’re onboard.

But the real difference is how it feels.
No crowds. No lines. No chaos.

Just quiet, elevated travel… on the water.

If you’ve ever said “I’m not a cruise person,”
this is probably the one that changes your mind.

If you want to explore itineraries or see if it’s the right fit, I’m happy to walk you through it.

This is the kind of place you book when you don’t want a “resort” feeling at all.

Private villas. Steps from the sand. Your own pool. Your own space.

Set just off Pinney’s Beach, it’s quiet, gated, and feels more like staying at your own Caribbean home… just with a concierge, private chef, and everything handled for you.

Mornings start slow. Coffee on the terrace, ocean in front of you.
Afternoons are snorkeling, kayaking, or doing absolutely nothing.
Evenings… that’s where a private chef or a sunset dinner comes in.

It’s low-key luxury. No crowds. No noise. Just the right kind of escape.

If Nevis is on your radar, I’ll make sure you’re set up the right way.

A full mile of waterfront… and not much else you need.

Isla Bella Beach Resort in Marathon does things differently. Every room faces the ocean. No fighting for a view, no second-guessing the booking.

You wake up slow. Coffee on the terrace. Maybe a bike ride, maybe the pool, maybe nothing at all.

Lunch turns into a drink. A drink turns into dinner at Mahina. The kind of days that don’t need much planning.

It’s easy to get here. It’s even easier to stay a little longer than you meant to.

And when you have the right people behind the scenes, it all just works the way it should.

If the Keys are on your list, I know where to send you.

Most travelers don’t realize something important.

A travel advisor doesn’t operate alone.

Behind every advisor is a host company that provides leadership, industry relationships, and a team working behind the scenes.

That partnership matters more than people think.

When a travel advisor is backed by strong leadership, meaningful partnerships, and a hospitality-driven team, it elevates everything from access to service to the overall travel experience.

𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞𝗘𝗗.

Santa Fe, New Mexico.

A client heading to Bishop’s Lodge, Auberge Resorts Collection.

This place sits out in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains on more than 300 acres bordering the Santa Fe National Forest. Quiet, wide-open space, Southwestern architecture, and the kind of setting where you slow down whether you planned to or not. 

Casitas with kiva fireplaces. Horseback riding and hiking right outside the door. Good food, good views, and a proper Santa Fe vibe.

Sometimes you don’t need Europe. You just need the right place.

Always happy to help clients find it.
