So, you’ve “done” Italy more than once and wonder, “What else is out there for my next adventure?” Let me introduce you to a destination that sits off the beaten path yet promises an extraordinary experience: Welcome to Malta!

I’ve often written about the benefits of booking hotels through a travel advisor with preferred luxury brand relationships. As we approach the holiday season, I want to update this information for those planning trips, even last-minute ones.

After our time in Rome, we headed out into the countryside toward Tuscany. Tuscany is famous for its tall Cypress trees and delicious wines like Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Brunello di Montalcino.

Travel is transformative, and for an unforgettable journey, few destinations compare to Greece and Italy. Recently, I had the pleasure of crafting an extraordinary itinerary for a small group of discerning travelers, taking them on a grand adventure through Crete, Santorini, Naxos. Our Greek adventure ended with the historic landmarks of Athens before embarking on a sumptuous Italian experience along the Amalfi Coast.

The 3rd stop of our Greek adventure, as we journeyed from the iconic blue-domed buildings of Santorini to the hidden culinary haven of Naxos. Naxos isn’t just any island – it’s the undisputed “foodie island” of Greece.

From the moment we arrived, we knew Santorini was extraordinary. The bright blue waters and stunning caldera views, left us eager to start our adventure. I’ve never seen a more photogenic destination in my life! Every spot we encountered was more picturesque than the last. It’s no wonder that the “Insta girls” and influencers flock here for social media content. Speaking of these “Insta” folks, I suggest avoiding accommodations near the domes. I met a couple whose balcony overlooked the blue domes, and they told me how difficult it was to get to and from their hotel, not to mention the lack of privacy. I recommend staying at the beginning of Oia. It’s just a short walk down the marble sidewalk to the heart of the shopping, restaurants, and photo spots, but you can escape when you’ve had enough of the crowds.

I’m currently on my first adventure to Peru, and let me tell you, it’s been nothing short of extraordinary! As soon as I set foot in Lima, the bustling capital, I knew I was in for a unique experience filled with unforgettable sights, sounds, and, of course, flavors. Let me take you on a journey through some of my favorite discoveries in this incredible city.

Peru, especially Machu Picchu, has been on my bucket list for the longest time, and the thrill of finally embarking on this adventure this week is beyond words! If you’re dreaming about a trip to this mesmerizing South American gem, let me share some insights to inspire your journey.

Autumn is a magical time bringing cooler temperatures, bustling cider mills, a sprinkle of pumpkin spice in everything, and leaves transforming into vivid hues of yellow, orange, and red. For many, this season is synonymous with “leaf peeping”—a delightful journey to witness nature’s fiery transformation.

Sardinia is on the brink of becoming a major leisure travel hotspot!

Nestled between North Italy and North Africa in the Mediterranean Sea, this captivating island is a haven for nature enthusiasts and cultural explorers. The glistening waters surrounding the island teem with schools of silvery sardines, creating a mesmerizing sight against the azure backdrop.
