What I’m Working on this Month

Quite a bit of Florida … and quite a bit of The Four Seasons there, with several of you choosing to spend your long weekends at The Four Seasons Miami, The Four Seasons Palm Beach, and the new Four Seasons Naples Beach Club. Solo female trips created through Northern Scotland, and Portugal. Quick stays in New York City at The Lowell, and Beverly Hills at The Peninsula. Business mixed with leisure, always, in Seoul. New Orleans based clients returning to lesser-visited islands in Greece this summer. Switzerland is popping up on my desk quite a bit with honeymooners focused on car-free villages & hiking this Spring, followed by two families traveling together through Zurich, Lucerne, and Lagano this Summer. Honeymooners choosing the BVIs to spend 8 days between Rosewood Little Dix Bay then boating over to round things out at Oil Nut Bay. One family heading to Italy to celebrate a professional milestone, another family heading to a private chalet near the slopes in Val d’Isere to ski over the Christmas holidays, and another family will be slowly exploring Morocco this fall. / Image, earlier this month while spending a few days outside of Telluride at Dunton Hot Springs

Folks are traveling this month … throughout Nicaragua & St Barths, up to Maine, Washington DC, Chicago, over to San Francisco, down to Naples Florida, and skiing in Aspen & Telluride.

Unique Experience & Travel Inspiration

It’s not the easiest to get to, about a two-hour drive from Managua’s International Airport in Nicaragua via some washed out roads along the route, but don’t worry - I’ll have a local driver waiting for you outside of customs. But it is for the more adventurous & curious traveler, whether solo, couples, families, who appreciate getting out of comfort zones, while laying their heads in comfortable beds. It’s called Rancho Santana, spread across 2700 oceanfront acres with hiking, surfing, fine (and casual) dining. I first visited back in 2024 and have been confidently sending clients ever since. One Minnesota-based client summed it perfectly, after just returning with her husband & two young sons: “We can’t thank you enough for this suggestion! We loved the property - loved all the activities and ability to visit different beaches each day. The spa was magical and everyone we met so warm and welcoming. Just loved it! Thank you again!” 

A Notable upcoming Client Trip

It was hard to choose just 1 upcoming client trip that stands out for encapsulating that blend of exploration, adventure, trying new things together … so I’ll share two! The first that comes to mind is the family who’ll be skiing in the Dolomites in Northern Italy, while staying at Aman Rosa Alpina. In addition to hitting the slopes near daily with a local ski guide, we’ve also arranged private mountain sundowners for them, access to the first World War Ski Tour which blends World War I history with alpine scenery, and of course plenty of time in the Spa for massage and meditation. Second client trip in March that brings a smile to my face when I see it on my calendar is a Chicago-based family of four heading to Iceland to chase those northern lights … / Image, Torfhús Retreat in Iceland’s Golden Circle

from us to you… thank you.
