What if your hotel room was literally a giant w**e barrel in the middle of Portugal’s Douro Valley? 🍷🇵🇹

The W**e House Hotel at Quinta da Pacheca is a 5-star w**e estate surrounded by vineyards in one of Portugal’s most iconic w**e regions. And while the property has beautiful traditional and contemporary rooms, the showstopper is absolutely the W**e Barrels — oversized barrel-shaped luxury suites tucked right into the vineyard.

This is the kind of stay where the destination and the hotel become one experience.

Think:
• W**e tastings and guided vineyard experiences
• Portuguese dining paired with estate w**es
• Vineyard views in every direction
• A Vineyard Spa with grape-inspired treatments and a hydrotherapy circuit
• Cooking classes, picnics and w**e-and-food pairings
• Seasonal harvest experiences, including traditional grape stomping
• Slow mornings surrounded by the Douro landscape

And yes — you can actually sleep inside one of those iconic w**e barrels.

Quinta da Pacheca’s W**e Barrels were created as an immersive way to experience the vineyard, combining the novelty of the architecture with the comfort of a luxury suite. They’ve even been recognized by the Best of W**e Tourism Awards for architecture and landscape.

This would be incredible as part of a larger Portugal itinerary — a few days in Porto, time in the Douro Valley, then continuing on to Lisbon or another region.

For w**e lovers, honeymooners, anniversary trips or anyone who wants a hotel that feels like part of the adventure instead of just somewhere to sleep… add this one to the list.

Would you stay in the w**e barrel? 🍷

Imagine falling asleep under a glass roof while the Northern Lights dance overhead. ✨🇫🇮

Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort in Finnish Lapland is one of those places that feels almost unreal.

Known for its iconic glass igloos, this Arctic escape lets you experience the magic of Lapland from the warmth of your room during Northern Lights season, which typically runs from late August through April. Some igloos even include a private sauna and shower — because apparently watching the aurora from bed wasn’t luxurious enough. 😂

And the experience goes way beyond the room.

Think:
• Husky safaris through the Arctic wilderness
• Reindeer safaris
• Traditional Finnish smoke saunas
• Visits to Santa’s private Lapland home
• Horseback riding
• Snow-covered forests and endless Arctic scenery
• A 30-meter glass observation tower with panoramic views
• Cozy Lapland dining, fireplaces, saunas and nights under the stars

For families and groups, the Kelo-Glass Igloos are especially incredible — part traditional log chalet, part glass-roof bedroom, complete with a fireplace, kitchenette and private sauna.

This is the kind of trip I’d plan around the experience itself, not just the destination.

Northern Lights. Reindeer. Huskies. Finnish saunas. Glass igloos.

Would Kakslauttanen make your winter bucket list?

Florence is one of those destinations that looks effortless on Instagram—but the difference between a good trip and an unforgettable one is knowing where to stay, what to prioritize, and which experiences are actually worth your time.

From boutique hotels in the heart of the city to countryside retreats, private Duomo access, hidden w**e bars, and unforgettable Tuscan dinners, there's so much more to Florence than checking landmarks off a list.

That's where I come in. ✨

Whether you're planning a honeymoon, family vacation, girls' trip, or a few days before a wedding in Tuscany, I'll help you build an itinerary that's tailored to your travel style—not a generic guide you found online.

If an Alaska cruise has been on your wish list, I have some exciting news!

I now have access to exclusive group rates on select Princess Alaska Cruisetours. The best part? You don't have to travel with a group to take advantage of the perks.

When you book one of these select sailings through me, you'll receive:

• Exclusive group pricing
• Onboard credit (varies by sailing)
• A refundable deposit through final payment
• The option to add Princess Plus or Princess Premier if you'd like

These itineraries combine the best of an Alaska cruise with time exploring Denali and Alaska's incredible interior, making them one of my favorite ways to experience the Last Frontier.

If Alaska has been on your bucket list, send me a message! I'd be happy to see if one of these exclusive group sailings is the right fit for you.

Travel advisors aren’t just for honeymoons, cruises and all-inclusive resorts.

A huge part of what I do is helping construction companies, contractors and traveling crews keep their teams moving without dumping one more task on the office staff.

When your employees are working out of town, somebody still has to manage the logistics — hotel stays, changing project dates, rental cars, flights, extended stays, multiple rooms and all of the little changes that happen along the way.

That somebody does not have to be your project manager, office administrator or owner.

I work with hotel brands like Wingate by Wyndham, Country Inn & Suites and Best Western because they often make sense for the realities of crew travel: practical locations, comfortable rooms, free breakfasts, dependable amenities and options in markets across the country.

Whether you’re sending a few employees to a jobsite or coordinating lodging for an entire construction crew, I can help take travel management off your team’s plate.

You handle the project. I’ll handle the travel.
