I swam with manta rays the size of dining tables and have not been the same since.

Tahiti needs to be on everyone’s list! As my friend says, it’s only a cocktail and a movie past Hawaii (and in the same time zone!). We flew @airtahitinui and after a good nights sleep, we landed ready to slip into our snorkel gear.

I also swam with blacktip sharks, toured a pearl farm and a vanilla plantation, sailed into a sunset that did not feel real, and picnicked on a private motu that felt like ours alone.

I stayed at @letahaabypearlresorts , @leboraborabypearlresorts, @vahineprivateisland , and @letikehaubypearlresorts , each one boutique, warm, and authentically Polynesian without a hint of performance. And because it is French Polynesia, the food is unreasonably good. Hello croissants!

Thank you Pearl Resorts for the most epic trip. Already thinking about who I am sending next.

I am thrilled to announce that I’ve been named a @queridohotels Rockstar, one of about 75 advisors worldwide to be invited to the club.

Rockstar status isn’t really about how much I book. It’s the relationships, the way I show up for their hoteliers, how much I actually believe in what they’re building (some of my absolute favorite hotels are part of their collection from @passalacqualakecomo to @lilyofthevalleyhotel to @forestis.dolomites - swoon!). That part means more to me than any perk.

The perks are still real though including elevated recognition for my clients at every property in the collection and insider access.

Thank you to the entire @queridohotels team, you’re simply the best.

Some encounters change you. Deep in the misty volcanic forests of Rwanda, coming face to face with a mountain gorilla family is one of them. We work with the finest partners in the region to place our clients inside moments that simply cannot be replicated anywhere else on earth. Rwanda’s gorillas aren’t just wildlife. They’re a reminder of what we’re here to protect. 🦍🌿
Gorilla trekking permits are limited and demand is high — reach out to start planning your Rwanda journey. Thank you to our amazing partners @wearewilderness @ujvafrica @oorwanda Gorilla’s Nest, @bisatelodge and @singita_ Kwitonda for an adventure I’ll never forget. taken in Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda by @toastncandy

There are places you visit, and places that visit you. @sterrekopjefarm is the latter.

Tucked into the foothills of the Franschhoek Mountains on one of the oldest farms in the Cape Winelands, this is not a hotel. It’s not a spa. It’s something harder to name and impossible to forget. A 17th-century homestead, 50 hectares of regenerative land, ancient olive groves, outdoor baths under open sky, and a kitchen drawing from its own biodiverse gardens. Every detail felt intentional. Every moment felt unhurried.

And behind all of it: Fleur and Nicole. Pure visionaries. The kind of hosts who create experiences that settle into your bones and I I have the inside scoop on 2 spots remaining for a specially curated December retreat.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to do something extraordinary for yourself before the year ends, this is it.

Slide into my DMs. These won’t last.

Spring break @rosewoodmandarina is giving jungle, beach, and Pacific Mexico perfection. 🌿

Private plunge pools, a secluded swimmable beach, insane dining (still thinking about the fish tacos), and more activities than you can fit into a week.

DM me and I’ll help to curate your perfect getaway.

Ski week in Tignes and Val d’Isère delivered full alpine drama this year, blizzards, whiteouts, and more than a few mountain closures. Not exactly the postcard version of the Alps… and somehow still so fun. Long lunches turned longer, hot chocolate became a daily ritual, and we discovered the real magic of ski trips isn’t just the runs, it’s the cozy chaos when plans change. Card games, sauna sessions, laughs in soggy gloves, and that triumphant feeling when the clouds finally lifted for a few turns. Sometimes the best trips are the ones that don’t go according to plan. taken in Tinges Le Lac by @toastncandy
