I leave for Mexico soon, and naturally I’ve made myself a whole resort research guide...because

I’ll be staying at TRS Yucatán, Majestic Elegance Costa Mujeres and El Dorado Maroma, with a few site visits along the way. I want to come home with answers to the questions that actually help you decide whether a resort is right for you, along with those little hidden gems and tips that make getaways extra special! I've created an entire rating and feedback template to use focusing on:

🏖The beach: Is the water inviting? Is there enough shade and somewhere to sit without setting an alarm at 6 a.m.?

🏊 The pools: Which ones are peaceful, which ones have a fun vibe, and can you find a shaded lounger?

🍽️ The food: My favourite spots for breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus whether reservations are easy to get.

🛏️ The rooms: Beds, noise, space, bathroom privacy and all the little things you only notice once you’re there.

🗺️ Getting around: Walking distances, resort apps, schedules and how easy everything is to navigate.

🎶 The fun stuff: Entertainment, classes, unique experiences and the bars you’ll actually want to spend time at.

I’ll also be conducting the very serious research of finding the best margarita and ordering wings for a late night room service review. Someone has to take one for the team 😅

For the resorts where I’m staying, I’ll get to test the full experience. On shorter site visits, I’ll share what I saw and what I learned!

What would YOU want me to check while I’m there?

Tell me the little detail that can make or break a resort stay for you. 👇

𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞!

A few adventures are winding down, clients are making their way home, and a whole new round of adventures is beginning.

My amazing 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲𝐦𝐨𝐨𝐧 couple are already settled into luxury in Crete. Life is hard, but somebody has to do it. 🤣

An adventurous family touched down in 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐧 last night to kick off almost a month away! They’re exploring London today, then heading to Cyprus for a week with family before continuing on to Athens and Rome. They’ll finish in Portsmouth, slowing down and spending time with friends after one epic journey. I am so excited for all of the memories they’re making!

Tomorrow, a total badass sets off on her 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐨 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞! She’s heading to Sicily to explore Palermo and Cefalù, with room in the itinerary to follow whatever catches her eye: the history, the beaches, the food, the little streets, and probably a cannoli or twelve. We brainstormed ideas together, but the best part is that she gets to make each day her own. I am SO excited for her.

Next up, a couple is off to 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐥, making their way from Lisbon to Porto. I can’t wait for them to experience all these gorgeous cities have to offer!

And then… 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐩𝐢𝐜 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲𝐦𝐨𝐨𝐧! Venice, southern Tuscany, the Amalfi Coast, Lecce and Rome. This one is action packed, and planning it involved a LOT of w**e, laughter and a few “WTF are we doing?” moments along the way 🤣 BUT it’s finally here and it’s going to be amazing!!!

So many different ways to travel, and so many stories about to unfold. I am so excited to watch all of these magical moments come to life and honoured to play a small part in them! ❤️

The sweetest woman reached out to plan an extended Christmas getaway after being referred by one of my lovely clients. 🥹

It had been a while since she and her hubby had been to an all inclusive, and she mentioned returning to the last resort they’d enjoyed. I asked what they’d loved about it, then we talked through what matters to them now: beach or pool time, dining, entertainment and the overall atmosphere.

We narrowed it down to three fantastic options. The winner? Secrets Tides Punta Cana, with the well deserved Preferred Club treatment!

Christmas is a busy time at resorts, so I wanted them to know exactly what that upgrade would add to their stay: a dedicated pool and beach area, a restaurant for Preferred Club guests, lounge access, butler service and a more personal check in experience. Those little pockets of calm can feel especially amazing during peak season.

I’m so grateful when a client trusts me with a referral, and I love getting to know what will make a trip feel right for the people taking it.

Here’s to a Christmas getaway with plenty of time together, good food and absolutely no holiday hosting duties!

I’m almost ONE WEEK out from Mexico!

Here’s a behind the scenes look at my absolute dumpster fire method of preparing for a trip:

✅ Start multiple doom piles of clothing I’ll likely want to take

✅ Throw random shoes into said piles

✅ Make sure my passport still exists and is valid…then immediately return it to the safe place before I lose it 🤣

✅ Order money...in advance, might I add! I’m very proud of myself for this one 😂

✅ Confirm transfers

✅ Check the resort app and scout out the top restaurants I want to try and any entertainment worth checking out but likley won't

✅ Start a list of things I will absolutely forget if I don’t write them down: sunscreen, headphones, meds, toothbrush…

Will I somehow still be packing at midnight before we leave? Absolutely.

But technically, preparations have begun!

Ohhh, here’s Stef again… continuing her cannoli adventures through Europe 😂

This morning, she shared:

“So, we’re in Sicily...and they make the best cannoli in the world. It’s what they’re known for! They use sheep’s milk instead of cow’s milk, and apparently, it makes a HUGE difference.

Cannoli are obviously my favourite dessert, and no one makes them right at home, so we went into a bakery to order one. While we were waiting, a guy came out from the back, looked at me and said, ‘Do you want a cannoli? Come with me.’

He took me right into the kitchen and made one for me.

Best. Cannoli. Ever.”

Am I jealous? Absolutely.

Am I now starving? Also yes. 🤣

The next week of client adventures is SOOOO exciting, y’all… and the first one begins tomorrow! 🇬🇷

We’re kicking things off with a Greek honeymoon that dreams are made of...four islands, four completely different experiences and one seriously unforgettable adventure!

First stop: Crete

They’ll ease into honeymoon mode at the stunning Stella Island Luxury Resort & Spa, an adults only, all inclusive escape known for its dreamy overwater style bungalows, beautiful pools and pure relaxation. The perfect place to recover from the journey and soak up those first few days of newlywed bliss!

Next: Milos

They’re trading the resort experience for the laid back beauty of Milos, staying seaside at Artemis Seaside Resort. While there, they’ll head out on a private food and w**e adventure...a chance to experience the island through its flavours, local stories and incredible scenery.

Then: Ios

This stay is going to be ICONIC. They’ll check into the breathtaking Calilo, one of Greece’s most unique luxury retreats. They’ve split their time between two of its wildly beautiful suites, giving them two completely different experiences during one unforgettable stay.

The grand finale: Santorini

They’ll finish their honeymoon at Santorini Secret Legend Suites, surrounded by the whitewashed beauty and legendary views of Oia. More adventures await here, along with a very special surprise birthday experience I’ve arranged!

This is exactly why I love creating multi stop European adventures. Each island brings something completely different...luxury and relaxation in Crete, food and coastal beauty in Milos, show stopping design in Ios and that quintessential Greek magic in Santorini.

I’m so honoured to have played a small role in bringing this incredible honeymoon to life, and I am SOOOO excited to follow along with their adventures! Safe travels, newlyweds...the trip of a lifetime starts tomorrow!

On today’s episode of oversharing… 😂

This industry is a wild one...filled with so many highs, lows and straight up WTF moments.

Some weeks are pure joy. Others are supported by red w**e, a few tears, several F bombs and aggressive amounts of puppy cuddles. 😂

Like anyone, I overthink, overanalyze and am incredibly hard on myself. So when I receive the sweetest messages from clients sharing how I’ve made their adventures feel magical, relieved some of their stress or helped them feel truly prepared…all of those negative feelings disappear for a moment.

Last night, I received one of those messages from a client who is heading to Portugal soon, and it honestly made my whole night. 🥹

Just over a year ago, I invested in a program that allows me to create beautiful, interactive itineraries for my clients. It keeps everything in one place...accommodations, transportation, tours, logistics, helpful tips, live flight updates, scheduled reminders and me telling you 1,729,492 times to double check your documents and passport. 😂

There’s even a chat function so we can stay connected throughout your adventure!

I mainly use it for my European and Costa Rican itineraries, but it’s also amazing for full service cruise packages, groups and multigenerational adventures where there are a lot of moving pieces to keep organized.

I’m constantly building new destination resources using my own travels, my clients’ experiences, endless research and insight from other trusted professionals.

You know…like where to actually eat in Rome when you don’t want the restaurant currently going viral on TikTok. 😂

Much like me, it’s always evolving...and there are still approximately 738 features I haven’t even taken advantage of yet. But it’s something I take so much pride in creating.

Seeing how much my clients love it and knowing it helps them feel excited, organized and supported before and during their travels...makes my heart so incredibly happy. 🥹❤️

Every day, I see some of the most UNHINGED questions, complaints and feedback in resort Facebook groups. 😂

Sometimes, these groups offer genuinely helpful insight. Other times, the complaints come down to a lack of research, limited awareness, personal bias or expectations that no resort on this planet could realistically meet.

Then there are posts like the one I saw last night…

I’m going to assume it was weird rage bait because it had me DYING laughing....
but honestly, at this point, who knows? 🫠

Resort groups can be helpful, but always consider the source. One person’s “worst resort ever” may simply mean they didn’t research what they booked, chose a property that didn’t suit their priorities or expected ch*****ne service on a b**r budget.

Regardless, please make sure these are not the people you’re trusting to make YOUR vacation decisions. 😂

Read the reviews.
Look for patterns.
Consider the context, the season.

Better yet...work with someone who understands the properties, asks the right questions and can help match the resort to what actually matters to you.

Because random Facebook user Anonymous, who is still furious that the ocean had waves, may not be your most reliable travel consultant. 😂

I LOVE the power of social media and the way life has a funny little way of bringing people back into your world. 🥹

Earlier this year, a new client reached out to plan a multigenerational family vacation. As we got chatting, we discovered that we actually had a family connection from when I was a kid!

She was then so sweet to refer her brother in law and his partner my way for their own getaway. Their dad was like an uncle to me growing up, so it genuinely makes my heart so happy that I now get to be a small part of the travel memories they’re creating as adults. Full circle moments like this are so special!

And they are heading somewhere STUNNING…

✨ Secrets Playa Esmeralda in Miches! ✨

I fell in love with this property during my first visit...before it had even officially opened! Miches is one of those parts of the Dominican Republic that still feels beautifully tucked away. The few resorts in the area are very spread out, so it doesn’t have the busy, built up feeling you find in some of the more established resort destinations.

Think lush scenery, gorgeous views, a beautiful beach and a much quieter side of the Dominican Republic. I selfishly hope it stays that way. 😂

Thank you so much for your trust and for thinking of me when your family and friends are ready to make their own travel memories.

Referrals like this truly mean more than you know❤️
