A year of planning.

30 amazing travelers.

1 beautiful yacht.

Last night we shared our first dinner together in Dubrovnik. Today we officially set sail.

We spent the afternoon swimming in the crystal-clear Adriatic, enjoying paddleboards, jet skis, water toys, the hot tub, sunshine, and new friendships.

Tonight we’re docked on the charming island of Šipan, and for the next 7 nights, this yacht is home.

Hosting trips like this is one of the greatest joys of what I do. Watching clients experience places they’ve dreamed about, make new friends, and create memories they’ll talk about for years is something I’ll never take for granted.

Feeling incredibly grateful tonight. ❤️

Sometimes the best travel experiences are the ones most visitors never find. 🍷

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to visit Miloš Winery, a family-owned winery on Croatia’s beautiful Pelješac Peninsula, arranged through my trusted partners here in Croatia.

Known for its dedication to traditional winemaking and the region’s famous Plavac Mali wines, Miloš Winery offers more than just a tasting…it offers a glimpse into the history, culture, and passion behind Croatian wine.

As a travel advisor, I wanted to experience it exactly as my clients would. From the warm welcome to the wines and stories shared throughout the tasting, it reinforced why I value working with local partners who can open doors to experiences that most travelers would never discover on their own.

This is the kind of authentic, meaningful experience that turns a trip into a memory you’ll talk about long after you return home.

And yes… sometimes “research” comes with a glass of wine in hand. 🍷😉

Not all travel experiences are created equal.

Today wasn’t about checking off another tourist attraction. It was about stepping off the beaten path and experiencing Croatia the way locals do.

We boarded a private boat and cruised across the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic to the Pelješac Peninsula, home to some of the most sought-after oysters in the world. We visited a working oyster farm, learned how these delicacies are harvested, and enjoyed fresh world-famous Ston oysters and mussels straight from the sea.

These are the moments that transform a trip from a vacation into a true experience...connecting with local people, local traditions, and local flavors in a way that most travelers never get to see.

This is why I love creating journeys that go beyond the highlights and into the heart of a destination.

Croatia, you continue to amaze me. 🇭🇷

Would an experience like this be on your dream trip? Tell me in the comments: oysters, wine, history, beaches, sailing, or something else...what would be at the top of your Croatia wish list?

The Adriatic Sea may not solve all of life’s problems, but it certainly doesn’t hurt. 🇭🇷💙

Have you heard of a “quietcation”? It’s quickly becoming one of the biggest travel trends of 2026… and river cruising may just be the perfect way to experience it.

If you’re craving slower mornings, fewer crowds, authentic local experiences, and time to actually enjoy where you are instead of rushing from place to place, this style of travel was made for you.

As a River Cruise Specialist, I help travelers discover Europe in a more meaningful way through thoughtfully curated journeys with AmaWaterways. And one of the best-kept secrets? Traveling during the quieter months.

Imagine sailing past vineyard-covered hillsides, exploring storybook villages without packed streets, enjoying locally inspired cuisine and wine, and returning each evening to the comfort of your floating boutique hotel.

Less chaos. More connection. More time to simply enjoy the experience.

If a quieter, more intentional way to travel sounds appealing, let’s start planning your 2026 river cruise “quietcation.”

Travel Notice ✈️

I’ll be out of the office May 27–June 15, 2026 while personally hosting clients on an immersive yacht journey through Croatia. During this time, email access will be limited, and my calendar will reopen on June 16.

One of the things I love most about what I do is experiencing destinations firsthand so I can better guide my clients with real insight, trusted connections, and meaningful recommendations that go far beyond a Google search.

If international travel is on your radar for late 2026 or 2027, now is a smart time to begin the conversation. Many boutique hotels, river cruises, safaris, and small-group experiences are already filling quickly.

Not every journey is about seeing more.
Some are about feeling more.

This is a recent luxury safari experience I designed for clients who wanted something extraordinary… not rushed, crowded, or cookie-cutter.

Imagine waking before sunrise to the sounds of the African bush.
Coffee on your private deck while elephants wander nearby.
Lantern-lit dinners beneath the trees.
Luxury suites designed to disappear into nature while still delivering every comfort imaginable.

This is the side of safari travel most travelers never experience.

When I design journeys like this, every detail matters:
• intimate luxury camps immersed in nature
• exceptional guides who transform a game drive into an unforgettable story
• private experiences away from the crowds
• seamless logistics handled behind the scenes
• moments that feel authentic, emotional, and deeply personal

A luxury safari is not simply about wildlife.
It’s about connection.
To nature. To the people beside you. To a slower pace that reminds you what it feels like to truly be present.

And honestly… once you’ve watched elephants at sunset with a glass of wine in hand, ordinary vacations start feeling a little less exciting.

If Africa has been quietly sitting on your dream list, maybe this is your sign to stop waiting for “someday.”
