The hardest thing about Jumby Bay? Leaving.

This 300-acre private island just off Antigua is one of those rare places that feels untouched: no cars, no crowds, just palm-shaded paths, turquoise water, and a sense of calm that’s hard to find anywhere else.

What makes it so special (and why I love sending clients here) is the rhythm of the island. Guests arrive by boat and instantly slow down. Bikes wait outside each suite for exploring, and the staff somehow remembers your name and favorite cocktail after day one. You can sail to uninhabited Bird Island, watch baby turtles hatch along the shore, or enjoy freshly caught lobster and island-grown produce at The Estate House.

I love recommending Jumby Bay for clients who value effortless decadence. It’s the Caribbean at its most refined.

Ready to experience it for yourself? Get in touch.

White sands. Sailboats drifting past. And a classic Ritz-Carlton reimagined for the Caribbean traveler of today.

The Ritz-Carlton St. Thomas is one of the Caribbean’s most beloved resorts, and it’s never looked better after its multimillion-dollar renovation.

Some highlights when you stay? Guests can set sail on Lady Lynsey II, the resort’s private catamaran, snorkel with sea turtles in nearby coves, or spend an afternoon at the spa before dining alfresco under the palms. For families, multi-bedroom suites make it easy to stretch out, while couples can book Club Level for even more privacy.

VIP yacht toasts. Helicopter views. Private dinners under the stars. These aren’t Google search results, they’re what you get with a travel advisor.

If Vancouver is the gateway to the Pacific, Fairmont Pacific Rim is the front door.

Modern design, Pacific views, and an energy that feels distinctly Vancouver. The hotel is known for its art collection (over 2,000 pieces on display), its award-winning cocktails at The Lobby Lounge, and guest rooms where Japanese soaker tubs overlook the harbor.

Stay here and you’re in walking distance of Gastown, steps from seaplane flights into the wilderness, and perfectly positioned to watch the sun sink behind the mountains. Pair that with the spa and the city’s most stylish rooms, and you’ve got the complete package.

Curious to see Vancouver like a local (with a luxe upgrade)? I’ll book it.

Austria doesn’t just shine in one season, it’s magical in all four.

In summer, locals head to Lake Wolfgangsee for swims framed by mountains, or spend the evening at open-air concerts in Vienna’s Schönbrunn Palace gardens. Autumn means vineyard picnics in the Wachau Valley, with private tastings of Grüner Veltliner right where it’s grown.

Winter brings more than just skiing: horse-drawn sleigh rides through snow-covered Tyrolean villages and après-ski in rustic alpine huts make it unforgettable.

And spring? That’s when Salzburg bursts to life with its Easter Festival, pairing world-class opera with baroque charm, while meadows outside Innsbruck bloom into a sea of color.

What’s the best view of Dubrovnik? Some say it’s from the city walls. I say it’s from your balcony at Villa Dubrovnik.

Villa Dubrovnik in Croatia designed for those who want the city’s magic with a little more privacy. Some of my favorites here: kayaking across the bay to Lokrum Island, reserving a couples’ treatment at the spa carved directly into the cliffs, and booking a table at Pjerin, the hotel’s fine dining restaurant.

For a truly local touch, I recommend a wine tasting featuring Croatia’s underrated Dalmatian varietals.

Not sure if your trip is “TA-worthy”? Let’s break it down.

If you’re heading somewhere unfamiliar, planning a multi-stop itinerary, or celebrating a milestone, a travel advisor is your best asset. I go beyond booking, designing your trip with care, insight, and access you won’t find online.

My on-the-ground relationships and in-depth destination knowledge enable me to craft an itinerary that perfectly suits your pace and priorities. I also handle all logistics from start to finish, with backup plans in place so your trip runs smoothly, even when things change.

Rather skip the stress and second-guessing? Let’s start planning together.

Ready to discover the world’s best destinations to see by sea?

Baja’s “aquarium of the world” puts you eye-to-eye with dolphins, rays, and even gray whales with their calves. Sardinia reveals its secret side from the water: pink-sand beaches, tucked-away coves, and fishing villages where lunch is whatever was caught that morning.

In French Polynesia, smaller ships and catamarans slip past coral reefs and anchor close enough to volcanic isles that you can watch the sunset from your stateroom.

And the Caribbean? Island-hopping by yacht means one day you’re sipping rum punch at a beach bar, the next you’re snorkeling in a hidden cove your crew knows by heart.

The best part? You only unpack once, your “room” travels with you, and I know which ships deliver the right balance of luxury and adventure.

Planning a trip to NZ? Read this first.

New Zealand rewards the slow traveler. Pick one island, rent a car, and let the landscapes unfold, one scenic lookout at a time.

Make the outdoors your main event. If you’re hiking one of the Great Walks, pack for “four seasons in a day.” It’s not just a saying, it’s real.

And if you’re craving a moment of stillness, head to the clearest lake in the world: Blue Lake in Nelson Lakes National Park. It has over 250 feet of visibility, making it a spectacular pit stop.

Romantic getaways aren’t hard to find. But true magic? That’s at Las Ventanas al Paraíso.

A Rosewood resort known for setting the bar in Mexico, Las Ventanas al Paraíso offers beachfront suites with private infinity pools, a tequila and ceviche bar that locals rave about.

Romantic dinners, desert horseback rides, and spa rituals inspired by Baja traditions round out the experience. Every stay comes with a personal butler, ready to arrange everything from sunrise yoga to private dinners under the stars.

This is Los Cabos at its most refined. Let's plan your stay.
