Let's talk river cruising in Europe... 💁‍♀️
Gone are the days where this was just for ages 65+, or "too boring" for a younger market. This is immersive, cultural, scenic and the opposite of your "big box" cruises. 🥂
The pace is as chill or as busy as you want it to be. Wanna sleep in and wander through town? Do it. Wanna hike to a winery or bike along the river? Do it. You have long time frames in ports, you visit little postcard villages along with big cities, and you will get hooked. 🙌 The 35-50 age market is seriously missing out if you aren't river cruising yet. I know which lines are best for which type of guest, how to put groups together if you want to make it a couples/friends trip, exclusive perks only for my guests, and there's even a few family friendly options if you want to river cruise with the kiddos! 👏📸
Message me and lets get you on the rivers in Europe! ✨️👌

🍷🇿🇦✨️Proof that you can do a winery tour with kids—and actually enjoy it.
While the adults were swirling, sipping, and hopping on Zoom calls with vineyard views, the kids were off living their best lives: farm hour, music hour, feeding animals in the herb garden, and rolling out their own pizzas with serious chef energy. (Libby takes this seriously!) 😆
This is the kind of place that gets it. A winery where thoughtful kids’ programming runs alongside beautifully curated tastings, long lunches, and space to work remotely if needed. You don’t have to choose between traveling as a family and enjoying the experience as adults—you can have both, seamlessly.
So yes, bring the kids on the wine tour. With the right properties and the right planning, and the right TRAVEL ADVISOR (ahem 😉) everyone gets their version of the perfect day.

🇿🇦🍷 Accomodation in the winelands! So much to share here! This is our 2 bedroom cottage, which is perfect for families or two couples! The property has an amazing vineyard, 3 restaurants (insane views!), a working farm, adorable shops, and a kids club with activies that deserve its own post (coming next)! And to think this entire place is older than my home country 🙌🇿🇦🍷

🙌 SUCH an honor to be featured in this article about cultural, immersive and "give back" experiences in Kenya! 🇰🇪 I'm insanely passionate about sending people to Africa, and even more so when it involves supporting the local communities through tourism. Kenya isn't just safari! There are wellness opportunities, a gorgeous coastline that is highly underrated, and more. ✨️And the multi-generational trips are increasingly popular right now- create memories together! I hope you enjoy the article- and that it sparks some wanderlust! ✈️

Exploring Nairobi's food and fashion scenes, stargazing and even wellness festivals are just some of the ways clients can enhance the safari experience, officials say.
