The new bucket-list trip? Walking there.

Some of the most incredible trips right now are on the trails, in tiny towns and a require a really good pair of shoes. Think hut-to-hut through the Dolomites, following ancient pilgrimage routes across Japan, walking a stretch of Spain’s Camino de Santiago or trekking past glaciers in Patagonia.

And you definitely don’t have to walk 500 miles to do it. I can build an itinerary around your pace, comfort level and how many days you actually want to spend on the trail, then handle the hotels, luggage transfers, shuttles and everything in between.

Consider this your sign to take the scenic route.

Your dog deserves a five-star vacation too.

Hotels are stepping up their pet-friendly perks, and we’re talking way beyond a water bowl at check-in. Think custom dog beds, beach access, dog-walking concierges, room service steak dinners and, at the Waldorf Astoria New York, even a tiny branded bathrobe.

Planning a trip you don’t want to leave your dog behind for? I can help find a stay that’ll spoil both of you.

There is nothing quite like watching the season shift and seeing the leaves turn every path into a breathtaking view. Autumn magic is officially here—time for cool walks, warm drinks, and taking the scenic route home. 🍁☕️

The new Orient Express Corinthian isn’t your typical cruise ship. It’s the world’s largest sailing yacht.

I’ve noticed more travelers asking for wellness trips without actually wanting a wellness retreat.

They want a beautiful hotel with an exceptional spa, great fitness facilities, access to nature, healthy dining options, and the flexibility to enjoy it all on their own terms. No schedules, no mandatory classes, and no pressure.

It’s a different kind of luxury: having everything you need to recharge, while deciding for yourself what that looks like.
I recently rounded up some of my favorite hotels across Southern Europe, New England, and the western U.S. that do this especially well.
They’re perfect for travelers who want the benefits of a wellness-focused stay with the freedom for their own pace.

If you are cruise-curious but aren’t sure where to start, I’d point you to Alaska.

It’s one of those destinations that’s incredible to experience but surprisingly difficult to do on your own. A cruise lets you explore coastal towns, glaciers, and fjords without juggling rental cars or ferries.

The best part is you unpack once, and your hotel comes with you. Every morning you wake up somewhere new.
