No.28 | June 2026

field guide.

snapped while walking … fascinated … in Beijing China, 2019 (I’m currently planning an August trip for Virginia-based clients to Hong Kong & mainland China after exploring Tokyo, Kyoto, and Seoul as well. First trip I’ve planned to China since pre-Covid; if China is on your mind to explore - trust me it’s one of the more interesting destinations one can visit - now is the cool time to go.)

What I’ve Discovered That I Love

I’ve been spending quite a bit of time in neighboring Utah this spring & summer … slower pace, smaller towns. My visit last month had me in Sundance for the first time. Such an easy, beautiful stay. There’s an Inn if you prefer trad hotel rooms, and there are also cottages/homes if you prefer a more residential-style stay with more space and a full kitchen. Bonus is that the Spa is right by the cottages, pro tip! Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall. It’s open year-round, and just over 1hr drive from Salt Lake City International Airport.

Where Others are Traveling in June-July

June was filled with many of you exploring Japan through Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Kanazawa, Ise-Shima & Nagano, Croatia through Split, the Pakleni Islands & Dubrovnik, the BVIs by private boat, the BVIs by suite on land at Rosewood, St Barths at Eden Rock, Amsterdam at Hotel de l’Europe, Italy, Moab at ULUM & Deer Valley, Palo Alto at Rosewood, Ojai at Ojai Valley Inn, the Dominican Republic at Eden Roc, Menorca at Son Vell & Mallorca at Belmond La Residencia Spain, New York City at The Surrey, Beverly Hills at The Peninsula & Maybourne, Montenegro at The One&Only Portonovi, Greece, and Costa Rica.

Next month in July has you all in Croatia, Montenegro, Italy in Capri, Florence, Umbria, Venice, Lake Como, & Portofino, Greece in Athens, Folegandros, Milos, & Naxos, Costa Rica, Aspen, Telluride, Rhode Island at Ocean House, Minnesota, and Scotland in Edinburgh, St Andrews, Pitlochr, Newhall Mains, & Isle of Eriska.

A Notable Upcoming Client Trip

Choosing a notable upcoming client trip this month was tough! So many cool adventures you’re all on this summer. Croatia is having a moment, though. I have to say. I’ve created some really compelling trips with my local partners there (Calvados Club). The one I selected to highlight is the best of Croatia, but we also threw in some time in neighboring Montenegro for this Texas-based family who have 3 older boys. We have them starting in Split then taking a private boat through the Pakleni Islands for stays on the islands of Hvar & Korčula (Lešić Dimitri Palace hotel pictured here), before heading to Dubrovnik then ending in Montenegro. Highlight experiences include hiking, sea kayaking, an oyster experience, and visiting the lesser-known areas of the Konavle region & Boka Bay Montenegro. (10-night Trip)

from us to you… thank you.
