Swipe through, then ask me the question everyone asks. Can you actually stay there? Yes.

It’s Vik, two hours south of Santiago in Chile’s Millahue Valley, and it took the No. 1 spot in The World’s 50 Best Vineyards 2025. The building you’re looking at tops a hill above a lake in the middle of an 11,000-acre private estate of vineyards and natural landscapes, with the Andes along the horizon, and that titanium roof is the reason people fly across the world to see it.

Here’s what the photos don’t show. With 22 individually designed rooms and 15 glass-walled bungalows, the room you choose matters, and I have opinions. Tell me what you like before you book, and I’ll request the right one.

Once you’re there, everything is included, from winery tours and tastings with the house winemakers to horseback rides through the vines, bikes, the infinity pool, and asado dinners cooked over open fire in the forest.

Advisor tip: Vik is the easy add-on to a Patagonia or Atacama trip, two or three nights on the way home. Choose your suite with the same interest you’d bring to choosing a bottle.

Iceland in one reel, because the landscapes do the talking.

Waterfalls you can walk behind. Black-sand beaches with basalt columns. Glacier lagoons full of blue ice, ice caves you can only enter in winter, and the northern lights from September through March. Geothermal lagoons where you float in hot water while it snows on your face.

My favorite way to do it is a private driver-guide along the south coast, with a few nights in the lodges that have changed the game here over the past few years, then a day in Reykjavík for the food.

Which Iceland are you?

Namibia is the country my photographers and my non-photographers agree on. Nothing else on earth looks like it.

Sossusvlei. Some of the tallest dunes in the world, rust-red at sunrise, and the dead camelthorn trees of Deadvlei standing in a white clay pan. Climb Big Daddy before the heat arrives.

The Skeleton Coast. Shipwrecks, fog, seal colonies, and desert-adapted elephants, reached by light aircraft and a handful of lodges.

Damaraland. Rhino tracking on foot and 6,000-year-old rock engravings at Twyfelfontein, in country so empty you can go a day without passing another vehicle.

Etosha. Classic safari around a vast salt pan, where the waterholes do the work and the animals come to you.

Swakopmund. A German-colonial beach town in the dunes with oysters, Black Forest cake, and some of the darkest night skies anywhere, a short drive inland.

Advisor tip: fly-in safaris are the way to do this. Distances are enormous, and the view from the Cessna is half the trip. Ten to twelve days covers it properly. Let's plan it.

Tomorrow I say goodbye to Uganda, and I’m leaving with a heart that is a little bigger. ❤️

They call Uganda the Pearl of Africa, and now I understand why. This country is breathtakingly beautiful, incredibly special, and full of some of the warmest, most wonderful people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting.

I’ve seen chimpanzees, gorillas, elephants, hippos, and so much more. But as spectacular as the wildlife and scenery have been, it’s the people who have truly made this trip unforgettable.

We met people who are working hard every single day to make life better for their families, their communities, and future generations. Hornbill Treks & Safaris has a tagline: “Travel That Transforms.” And I’ve seen firsthand what that means.

We planted trees, purchased beautiful handmade crafts, enjoyed locally grown organic coffee, and supported local families and businesses along the way. Small things that make a difference, and a reminder that how we travel matters.

Uganda has given me so much more than incredible memories and photographs. It has given me new perspectives, meaningful connections, and an even greater appreciation for this beautiful world we get to explore.

My heart is full, my camera is overflowing, and I already know this won’t be my last time in Uganda.

Thank you, Uganda. You are truly a pearl. Until we meet again! ❤️🇺🇬

One person wants golf. One wants the beach. Someone else has spotted the climbing wall.

A family hotel should give everyone something to argue for, and this one does.

Aurora Anguilla covers 300 acres across Rendezvous Bay and Merrywing Bay, making it the largest resort on an island known for tiny ones. On the kids’ side, a water park with slides and a lazy river, 18-hole mini golf, that climbing wall, a teen center, a kids club, pickleball and tennis clinics, bonfires with s’mores, and movie nights. Rendezvous Bay is one of the calmest, longest beaches on the island, which matters when small swimmers are involved.

On the adult side, the only golf course on Anguilla (a Greg Norman design), a full spa, and six restaurants, including the island’s only steakhouse and a dinner served inside the resort’s own hydroponic farm.

Send me the full wish list, golf and climbing wall included. I’ll make room for all of it.

I send people to Bhutan for the same reason I send them to a spa. They come back lighter.

Here’s a good place to start. Six Senses Bhutan is five lodges across the kingdom, in Thimphu, Punakha, Paro, Gangtey and Bumthang, and the days are shaped around slowing down. Hot stone baths after a mountain walk. Morning meditation at the prayer pavilion in Thimphu. A farm visit in Gangtey, where the black-necked cranes winter. Dinner in a treehouse in Bumthang. Hike to Tiger’s Nest in Paro, then enjoy a private dinner among 15th-century ruins on the way back down.

A guide and driver travel with you between lodges, so the logistics disappear and the days stay open. You don’t need all five valleys. You need the right ones, with enough time in each to let the place work on you.

Tell me what you’re hoping to feel like when you get home. I’ll route Bhutan around that.

Your out-of-office message may finally mean it.

Three Camel Lodge is part one of my Most Remote Hotels on Earth series, and it earns the title. It sits in Mongolia’s Gobi Desert, about as far from a coastline as you can get on the planet. Getting there means flying into Mongolia’s capital, then taking a second flight south, then driving off-road for 90 minutes. And that’s the short way.

The lodge itself is a camp of 40 gers, the round felt tents Mongolian nomads have lived in for centuries, set on an open plain with the Altai Mountains along the horizon and nothing else in sight. Inside, a wood stove, hand-painted furniture, camel-hair blankets, and a proper bathroom.

Days are spent on the desert’s greatest hits. The Flaming Cliffs, where the first dinosaur eggs were found a century ago, and paleontologists still dig. The singing dunes of Khongoryn Els. Camel treks, evenings with nomadic families and throat singers, and a night with no artificial light for a hundred miles in any direction.

How far off your usual travel map would you like to go?

I still have a few days left in Uganda, and gorilla trekking is still ahead of me, but I can already say this is one of the most incredible places I have ever visited. ❤️

They say you come to Africa first for the animals, but you come back for the people. Uganda is proof of that.

The people here are warm, welcoming, hardworking, and just beautiful inside and out. I’ve met schoolchildren with bright smiles and big dreams, mothers and fathers working tirelessly to provide for their families, and incredibly talented craftspeople who take such pride in what they do.

And the FOOD! Some of the best I’ve had anywhere in the world! 😍

I have so much more to share about the places I’ve visited, the experiences I’ve had, and the people I’ve met. I’ll share all those stories when I get home.

But if there’s one thing I want you to take away right now, it’s this:

Uganda will welcome you with open arms, and somewhere along the way, it will find its way into your heart. ❤️🇺🇬

And I still have gorillas to meet! 🦍

Cambodia on your bucket list? Read this before you book.

Angkor is bigger than you think. Angkor Wat at sunrise makes the photo, but you'll remember Ta Prohm wrapped in tree roots, the stone faces of Bayon, and the remote carvings of Banteay Srei. Hire the best guide I can find you, set the 4:30 a.m. alarm once, then go late in the afternoon after the buses have left.

Don’t skip Phnom Penh. The riverside capital has the Royal Palace, a cocktail and dining scene that surprises everyone, and the Khmer Rouge history that explains everything else about the country.

The Mekong is the best way to leave. River cruises run between Siem Reap and Saigon, past floating villages and silk-weaving islands, and they turn a flight into the best part of the trip.

The coast is real. Koh Rong’s private-island beaches, Koh Kong’s mangrove forests, and Kep, where the crab market still sets the lunch menu. Most itineraries miss it. Yours shouldn’t.

The countryside is where the country lives. Kampot pepper farms, Battambang’s bamboo train, and temples with nobody at them.

Advisor tip: November to February is the sweet spot; Cambodia pairs beautifully with Vietnam or Thailand, and Siem Reap’s hotel scene is one of the best in Asia for the money. Reach out, and I’ll build the route around what you want most.

Jackson Hole doesn’t slow down in winter. It softens. ❄️

Snow hushes the streets, the Tetons turn blue at dusk, and the best part of the day is coming in from the cold: a warm drink, a fire going, and nowhere else you need to be.

That’s a Rusty Parrot Lodge winter; one you’ll want to get out and experience knowing you have the warmest of welcomes to snuggle back into. And right now, stay four nights and enjoy a fifth one complimentary, for travel through April 4, 2027.

🤍Reach out today, and let’ me find your winter wonderland.🤍
