🌍✈️ Well, would you look at that… apparently your birth year has decided where you’re off to next! 😂🍷

And here was me thinking the only thing my birth year determined was how early I wanted to be in bed! 🤣

National Geographic Journeys has matched each decade with a destination based on its personality, curiosity and sense of adventure.

Now, I don’t know about you, but I’ve never been one to let a number dictate what I can or can’t do… especially when it comes to travel! 😉

🌎 So, here’s a wee bit of fun!

👉 Swipe through and find your birth decade.

💬 Tell me where you’re going! Is it somewhere you’d actually love to visit, or are you requesting a refund on your birth year? 😂

And if your destination doesn’t float your boat, don’t worry, I’ve got a whole world of alternatives up my sleeve!

Life’s too short to keep putting off the places you’ve always dreamed of seeing. And let’s face it, none of us are getting any younger! 🥂

🇨🇭🚂 SWITZERLAND BY TRAIN… OH, WHAT A WAY TO TRAVEL! 🏔️❤️

I’ve been fortunate enough to travel extensively throughout Switzerland by train, including the world-famous Glacier Express, and let me tell you, it’s an experience I would happily do all over again!

Switzerland is one of those countries that almost doesn’t look real. The mountains, the lakes, the picture-perfect villages, the little chalets perched on hillsides… honestly, it’s like someone took a postcard and brought it to life!

And the beauty of exploring Switzerland by train? You’re not just travelling between destinations. The journey IS the destination!

No navigating winding mountain roads, no worrying about parking, and absolutely no arguing with the GPS! Just sit back, relax, perhaps enjoy a glass of w**e, and watch some of the most spectacular scenery in Europe unfold outside your window. 🍷

🇨🇭 SCENIC SWITZERLAND BY TRAIN

🚂 9 Days | Zürich to Zürich
💰 Starting from $3,769 per person
✨ Cosmos Tours

This fabulous itinerary features some of Switzerland’s most iconic rail experiences:

🚂 Glacier Express – Having experienced this one personally, I can tell you it’s every bit as spectacular as the photographs suggest! Travel between Zermatt and St. Moritz through the heart of the Swiss Alps.

🚂 Bernina Express – One of the world’s most scenic railway journeys, crossing dramatic alpine landscapes, glaciers and magnificent viaducts.

🚂 Gornergrat Railway – A breathtaking climb into the mountains for unforgettable views of the mighty Matterhorn.

🚂 GoldenPass Express – Beautiful Swiss countryside, charming villages and stunning lake views as you make your way towards Montreux.

And you’ll discover some wonderful Swiss destinations along the way, including Zürich, Lucerne, Lausanne, Zermatt and St. Moritz.

❤️ HERE’S THE THING ABOUT SWITZERLAND…

It’s not what I would call a bargain destination, but some experiences are worth every penny, and Switzerland is certainly one of them!

Having travelled across this beautiful country by rail myself, I can confidently say it’s one of the most enjoyable ways to experience the Swiss Alps.

There’s something rather special about sitting comfortably on a train, watching the mountains roll past, and realizing that for once, getting there is every bit as wonderful as being there.

And here’s something I’ve learned after more than 30 years in the travel industry: The memories that stay with us aren’t always about where we went, but how we experienced getting there.

So, if Switzerland has been sitting on your bucket list for years, perhaps it’s time to stop admiring everyone else’s photographs and start taking a few of your own! 😉

🇨🇭 WHO’S READY TO GET ON BOARD? 🚂

I’d love to help you experience this spectacular country for yourself. And having travelled these rail routes personally, I’m always happy to share my firsthand knowledge!

❤️ Sometimes, the loveliest surprises arrive in the mailbox.

Yesterday, I received this beautiful handwritten thank-you card from a client, along with an incredibly thoughtful gift. It absolutely made my day. ❤️

A couple of days ago, I shared a post about how fortunate I am to do what I do, and how special it is to play even a small part in helping families create precious memories together.

And then this arrived. ❤️

I’ve blurred the personal message in the photo to protect my client’s privacy, but I wanted to share the sentiment behind it because it truly touched my heart.

Nancy wrote about her trip to Paris with her granddaughter, and I couldn’t help but smile.

Having fallen in love with Paris myself, I could picture the moment so clearly. A grandmother taking her granddaughter to France, celebrating her birthday with lunch at the Eiffel Tower, and then cruising along the River Seine as the Eiffel Tower began to sparkle against the Parisian night sky.

Her granddaughter was so overcome with emotion that she cried when she saw those beautiful lights twinkling. 🥹

And I can just imagine how Nancy must have felt, watching her granddaughter experience that magical moment.

Because one day, she may not remember every detail of that trip, but I bet she’ll never forget how she felt standing beside her grandmother in Paris.

And that, right there, is what travel is all about.

It’s not just about flights, hotels, tours or ticking destinations off a bucket list. It’s about the people we share those experiences with, the moments that take our breath away, and the memories that stay with us long after the suitcases have been unpacked.

After more than 30 years in this wonderful industry, these are the moments that remind me why I still love what I do.

I may only play a small part in making these adventures happen, but knowing I’ve helped create memories that a family will treasure for a lifetime is something I will never take for granted.

Nancy, thank you for your beautiful note, your thoughtful gift, and most importantly, for trusting me with such a special adventure.

My heart is full. ❤️

I don’t just sell vacations. I help make memories. And what a privilege that is. 🌍✈️

🌺 WHY TAHITI? 🌺

Tahiti is the only place in the world where I have genuinely had that “pinch me… is this actually real?” moment — and I’ve been to a lot of countries.

It truly is my vision of heaven on earth. 💙

Tahiti sits on so many bucket lists. But here’s my question…

Why leave it there when you can actually GO?

And it’s closer than you think! Tahiti is only about 8 hours from LAX. Think of it as three movies, a Mai Tai 🍹, a cat nap… and suddenly you’re waking up in paradise.

So why not join Curt and me in October 2028 for our incredible Tahiti & Society Islands group aboard the beautiful m/s Paul Gauguin?

You have two years to plan and save.
Plenty of notice.
No excuses. 😉

And right now, our group pricing includes 30% OFF the best available rate — but that discount will decrease as our space fills.

If Tahiti has been sitting on your bucket list waiting for “someday”…

THIS is your someday. 🌴

Don’t just dream about Tahiti.

GO TO TAHITI. 🌺✈️

Because “someday” isn’t a destination.
