Woke up this morning a year older ❤️First thing that came to mind is how grateful I am for this chapter of my life and all that we are lucky enough to have and all the beautiful people I have in my life. For the friends that may not live close but are always present and the ones who stop everything to come be supportive or spontaneously pop in for an unexpected birthday lunch. My love who makes me laugh daily and pushes me forward. My mini who has opened a piece of me that I forgot existed through pure magic and joy. To a new endeavor that challenges me to grow. To a family that is truly unwavering. Excited for all this year will bring. #birthdaygirl #grateful

Last week we all flew from different corners to attend our Travel + Leisure Travel Advisor Board Meeting, International edition, at @sandalsresorts St Vincent and the Grenadines

For four days we experienced firsthand the SANDALS promise: Made of Caribbean

This was our first time in SVG and the island is verdant and underdeveloped giving one a feel for the true Caribbean. Its people couldn’t be more friendly, their hospitality so warm and authentic. Sandals pioneered and popularized the luxury all-inclusive couples-only model in the Caribbean. Despite being shoulder season, the resort was almost at full capacity with a lot of young honeymooners and repeat Sandals guests.

We had two full days of meetings with cruise partners and tourism boards. We work hard and we play hard. I’m always grateful to have a seat at this table and to be a part of our amazing travel industry.

Took a break from IG and the grid for a few days so I could come back on FIRE (as @anthonyramosofficial likes to say).

We had one epic party, as part of a new series called Dinner with People, hosted by the actor and myself @millysongreene and there were carrot martinis, incredible chopped cheese eggrolls, and a DJ that made us all smile. Our culinary issue star is born. ⭐️

About last night

@travelandleisure @peopleinc @jacquigiff @katybano hosted an evening celebrating T+L cover star @anthonyramosofficial at @millysongreene for the September Culinary issue.

Food was excellent as was the music, drinks and overall vibe - warm, friendly, Brooklyn, chic - the kind of neighborhood bar I’d patronize.

Thank you for the invite @charlottegmiller and for the Lyft home my friend @mark_lakin

There are still places on this planet that make you feel wonderfully insignificant.

Far from the familiar, well beyond the beaten path, where the horizon feels endless and the world still feels truly wild.

Places at the edge of the world that reset your perspective—and remind you why we never stop exploring.

DM me or my travel agency @thelegacyuntold and let us take you beyond the beaten path, to the places that put everything back into perspective.

A few special moments from Japan that keep me coming back.

Exceptional meals, sake, markets, ryokans, craftsmanship, quiet interiors, and the kind of details that reveal themselves only when you go deep.

After decades of traveling through Japan, new layers continue to reveal themselves.

DM me or my travel agency @thelegacyuntold and let us whisk you away to the land of the rising sun.

Travel is not only about what you do during the day.
Sometimes the best part starts when the sun goes down.

From cities that come alive at night to places where darkness and silence are part of the experience, there is a whole other side of travel after sunset.

DM me or my travel agency @thelegacyuntold and let us plan a trip worth staying up for.

There is no single version of a great table.

It can come with white linen and an impossible view, or no table at all. A tasting menu in a great city. Bread made by hand. Seafood pulled from a market. Dinner on a beach. A family recipe. Too many friends and not enough chairs.

A shared meal has a way of cutting through the distance between us. Somewhere between the tasting menu and the street stall, the ceremony and the chaos, food tells you something honest about a place.

How people live. What they value. What they celebrate.

Travel is better when you come hungry.

DM me or my travel agency @thelegacyuntold and let us take you to the places where the table becomes part of the journey.

I chose the travel industry as my career, and somehow it gave me so much of what I hoped life would be… adventure, happiness, curiosity, connection and purpose.

After all these years, my greatest joy is still helping someone else experience something they may have dreamed about their entire life.

That, to me, is what it’s all about. #tullyluxurytravel

A great place to travel with friends
Miavana is the definition of barefoot luxury. The beautifully designed villas offer complete privacy and panoramic ocean views, each with dedicated butler service ensuring every moment feels so effortless, from sunrise breakfasts on the beach to candlelit dinners under the stars. The snorkelling and diving are some of the best I’ve ever experienced, and exploring on ATVs, water sports all included , and simply taking in the serenity of this remarkable island. It is also one of the very few places in the world where you can see lemurs in their natural habitat, making the experience even more rare and extraordinary.

I travel the world because I believe the best way to know a place is to experience it yourself. Your perfect place is out there. Let me help you find it. And @miavana is one of them 💙🐚🌊
