One of the most important parts of my job as a travel advisor is experiencing destinations firsthand — because when clients trust me with their precious time away, where they spend it truly matters ☀️🏝️

Recently, I had the privilege of exploring Grenada, St. Lucia, and Antigua experiencing beautiful resorts and villas including Silversands Beach House, Silversands Grenada, La Belle Helene, Windjammer Landing, and Carlisle Bay alongside the incredible Leading Hotels of the World team 🏆

Beyond the stunning properties, we immersed ourselves in the unique character of each island — from rum and chocolate tastings, private speedboat transfers, and VIP airport services to exceptional spas, beautiful beaches, and unforgettable hospitality (yes, including custom pajamas ✨).

These experiences help me better understand not only which properties to recommend, but why — whether for a family’s spring break, a honeymoon, or a meaningful multi-generational celebration. There is simply no substitute for firsthand experience when helping clients decide where to spend their limited and meaningful time together 🥂

Feeling incredibly grateful to deepen my Caribbean expertise and excited to bring these insights to my clients next booking ✈️

Day 3 of LE Miami was another incredible day of discovering what’s new, exciting, and inspiring in the world of luxury travel.

Today’s meetings took me from the stunning hotels of St. Barths to wine tasting experiences in New Zealand, private yachting adventures in Mykonos and throughout Greece, the exciting new Orient Express Yacht Collection, Dubai, and so many incredible destinations beyond.

A special thank you to the Israeli partners and hoteliers who continue to showcase some of the most exceptional luxury products and experiences in the world. Am Yisrael Chai! 🇮🇱

One of the things I love most about events like LE Miami is that they allow luxury travel advisors and trusted partners to meet face-to-face. These conversations go far beyond brochures and websites. They help us build relationships, gain insider knowledge, discover what’s new, and ensure we can create truly personalized experiences for our clients. The connections made here directly translate into better journeys for the travelers who trust us with their vacations.

The day was filled with productive meetings, inspiring conversations, and a delicious lunch with my favorite Paolo and the team from Leading Hotels of the World at the dreamy Setai Miami.

I am absolutely exhausted, but also energized, inspired, and already thinking about the incredible journeys I can help create next.

Which destination is calling your name? Message me and let’s start planning your next unforgettable adventure.

Next up on the three week European extravaganza trip…Vienna!

Hotel Sacher has been our go-to for years and is still a top hotel in Vienna. It is where you must stay if you want to experience true Viennese history. Gorgeous interiors and welcoming common spaces throughout. The wall of fame which shows those who have stayed there was impressive. We enjoyed a fabulous multi-course dinner, compliments of our partners, Leading Hotels of the World. And, of course, we ended the night enjoying our own Sacher Cake, decorated by yours truly.

Follow me for my next career…pastry chef 👩🏻‍🍳

A lovely location, the most welcoming team on site, and a perfect gem in Vienna!

Budapest had me completely captivated from the very start. ✨ A city where history, elegance, and soul come together so effortlessly—every corner tells a story, every moment feels layered in beauty.

Our time kicking off the Travel Experts Summit here was nothing short of unforgettable. A heartfelt thank you to @ppmil_la and @leadinghotelsoftheworld for hosting such a stunning experience.

And the stay… truly exceptional. @anantarabudapest is one of those rare properties that feels both grand and intimate—timeless architecture, impeccable service, and an atmosphere that makes you want to linger just a little longer.

Budapest is a city I cannot wait to share more of with our clients—rich in culture, beauty, and that unmistakable European charm. 🇭🇺

Annie visited Grantley Hall last fall and was charmed 🇬🇧 Located only 50 minutes from the York train station, but a world away.

Set on a private estate dating back to 1680, this 47-room property somehow feels both grand and incredibly welcoming. It’s the kind of place where your days naturally fill up: 🚲 biking through the countryside (complimentary bikes + e-bikes), exploring nearby villages, or heading out to Fountains Abbey before coming back for a proper afternoon tea 🫖(do not skip this… it’s unreal).

The food scene alone is worth the stay: 5 restaurants, 3 bars, and a Michelin-starred experience that draws guests from all over the UK. Add in a new local pub that’s walking distance, lively and fun, plus live music on Sundays, and it never feels sleepy.

The spa is next level - cryotherapy for jet lag, indoor + outdoor saunas, and even a snow room. Yes, a snow room.

A few things she loved:
• the Japanese garden from the early 1900s, perfect for a quiet stroll
• Lawn games in the summer (croquet, & cocktails)
• Gin-making experiences at a local distillery
• Easy stop on a London → Yorkshire → Edinburgh itinerary

It’s a passion project from Valeria Sykes, years in the making, with a mission to put Yorkshire on the map - and it shows in every detail.

Best for couples or groups of friends who plan their trips around great meals, a beautiful setting, and a little countryside charm.

Save this one for your next UK itinerary. 🇬🇧

Stepping into pure history and elegance at the iconic Hotel Sacher Vienna… and celebrating its 150th birthday in style 🎉

A proud member of Leading Hotels of the World, this legendary property has been welcoming guests since 1876 and is the very definition of timeless luxury in Vienna. Think impeccable service, rich history, and that unmistakable old world glamour you just can’t recreate.

We were greeted with champagne (as one should be 🥂), toured the absolutely stunning rooms and suites, and then had the most fun experience decorating our own famous Sachertorte… which I’ll share later because it’s a surprise 😉

The evening only got better with an incredible dinner in one of the hotel’s breathtaking dining rooms… every detail, every bite, perfection.

And of course, no visit is complete without a stop at the iconic Blue Bar… chic, intimate, and the perfect way to toast such a memorable night.

Over the years, Queen Elizabeth II, John F. Kennedy, and Anna Netrebko have all stayed here… and it’s easy to see why.

The things I do for my clients 😉 always making sure I personally experience the very best so I can send you with confidence.

Ready for a little Vienna magic? I know exactly where to put you.

📍Portrait Milano

I was told a story of an Italian woman who, after its opening, wandered into the Portrait Milano to finally see what had always been hidden from her. She had grown up just outside its walls, passing it daily, never knowing what existed within.

Originally constructed in the 16th century as a seminary, it served its sacred purpose for over two centuries before eventually falling silent—closed to the public for decades, set apart from the very neighborhood that lived around it.

When the Ferragamo family took over the property, their vision was not simply restoration, but revelation—to open it, soften its boundaries, and invite the city back in.

Today, it lives as more than a hotel. It is a passageway, a gathering place, a quiet reintroduction between past and present—where locals and travelers move freely through what was once closed.

Even the bar carries this idea of connection, its name drawn from the dual addresses it bridges: number 10 on one side, and 11 on the other.
