A beautiful afternoon well spent in Northern Greece wine country!

A farm-to-table experience in Naoussa at the boutique winery Kir-Yianni is exactly the kind of moment that makes you slow down and savor where you are at. Set among rolling vineyards and quiet countryside, this is the kind of place where lunch turns into a long conversation and one glass of wine easily becomes four.

Founded by Yiannis Boutaris and now led by the next generation, Kir-Yianni balances tradition with a modern, thoughtful approach that really shows in the wines. We tasted our way through crisp sparkling Paranga, aromatic whites, and rich reds paired with comforting, seasonal dishes. Braised chicken slow cooked in Xinomavro wine, vibrant salads, and a dreamy late harvest wine to finish, (that wasn’t sicky sweet) and enjoyed with the most amazing lemon yogurt mousse and chestnut honey.

Great wine, beautiful food, fun new industry friends and a gorgeous countryside setting. Northern Greece at its best!

Curious about Northern Greece? I’d love to design an itinerary for you. Let’s start planning!

Greece is known for its magnificent islands, but many travelers don’t venture to Northern Greece. Whether explored on its own or combined with a few island hops, this region is stunning and absolutely deserves a spot on your travel radar. It certainly filled my heart and soul with its charm and authenticity!

My first stop in Greece on my Virtuoso Study Tour with my friends EclecticGreece was the beautiful port city of Thessaloniki, and it surprised me in all the best ways!

Thessaloniki is Greece’s second-largest city, and it feels very local and authentic while still being stylish. There’s a real rhythm here that revolves around food, cafés, and spending time together, followed by more food. It’s younger and more urban than Athens, with layers of Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman history woven right into everyday life.

We stayed at On Residence in Thessaloniki, a beautifully restored landmark right on the waterfront that blends historic elegance with a modern, boutique feel. The hotel offers refined rooms, attentive service, and sweeping water views, along with a fantastic Greek breakfast. It’s perfectly located for exploring the city on foot, whether you’re heading out for a seaside stroll along the waterfront, a long lunch, or an easy evening of dining and cocktails.

Just outside the city, Vergina is home to the royal tombs of Macedon, including Philip II, father of Alexander the Great. Nearby, Pella was the ancient capital and Alexander’s birthplace. Visiting these sites puts Greece’s ancient history into perspective.

Over the past two months, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to travel through five countries: Greece, Tanzania, Kenya, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. It was a packed itinerary and filled with meaningful memories that have been hard to put into words. It left me speechless. I intentionally slowed down to fully experience each destination and moment rather than focusing on social media along the way.

I was able to visit 26 properties, went on 31 game drives, and spent five beautiful and inspiring days at a school in Tanzania. But beyond the incredible experiences, what stayed with me the most were the people I met and traveled with, and the feeling of being genuinely welcomed everywhere I went.

Greece reminded me how thoughtful its culture is and how its ancient history still shapes daily life. There is a natural warmth and playfulness in the people I met, and an ease around conversation, food, and togetherness that makes you feel instantly at home. It left me wanting to return again and again to explore the parts of the country that are so often overlooked.

They say Africa changes you, but I wasn’t prepared for the reality of that experience. Africa left a powerful impression, one that connected me to the planet, our fragile eco system, the incredible wildlife, and our human origins that began on this remarkable continent. Above all, the people I met across Tanzania, Kenya, Zimbabwe, and South Africa were some of the kindest and most generous I have ever encountered. They are welcoming, thoughtful and very joyous. I felt comfortable, safe, and cared for every step of the way.

These travels gave me priceless memories I will carry with me forever, along with so many new friends, partners, stories, insights, and experiences that I look forward to sharing in the coming weeks!

After a day immersed in Marrakech’s spice markets, color, and energy, you’ll want somewhere calm to retreat.

A stay at The Oberoi feels like an exhale. Surrounded by olive groves and citrus orchards, this estate rivals Morocco’s ancient palaces. Guest rooms are intentionally set far apart, giving each stay a rare feeling of space and privacy, while views stretch toward the Atlas Mountains.

Insider tip: Make time for at least one experience that isn’t on foot. I can arrange a hot air balloon ride over the Atlas Mountains, a helicopter tour over the Sahara, or a vintage sidecar drive through the Medina.

Once a Hollywood hideaway, this is one of Baja's most timeless escapes.

Since the 1950s, One&Only Palmilla has been the retreat for travelers who want privacy, impeccable service, and that unmistakable Baja sunshine.

Here's what I love most: it's one of the few Los Cabos resorts with a swimmable beach, and the staff somehow remembers every guest's favorite drink (try the fresh mango margarita by the pool). The spa feels like its own little sanctuary, and if you're traveling with family, your private butler will have everyone's surfboards and snorkeling gear waiting before you even ask.

And here's my insider tip: don't miss the hilltop chapel, a local icon where many of the resort's famous guests have said "I do."
Palmilla has hosted stars for decades, and now it's your turn. I'd love to plan your stay

I love discovering special new places, and Son Ermità in Menorca has just earned a spot on my list.

Set in the quiet hills outside Alaior, this restored 18th-century estate feels wonderfully private (the kind of place where you can truly disconnect), but you can still enjoy thoughtful service and design.

I especially love the way the property celebrates its setting: olive trees framing the pool, spa treatments infused with local botanicals, and meals that highlight seasonal produce from nearby farms. For guests looking to slow down and savor Menorca’s quieter side, this is the place.

Ask me about the best times to visit or how to combine it with a few nights on Mallorca for the perfect Balearic getaway

Arctic travel isn’t just a trip, it’s a whole new perspective.

Witness the Northern Lights dance across the sky, cruise through ice-covered fjords on a luxury expedition, and feel the thrill of dog sledding across untouched snow.

The Arctic is raw, remote, and utterly unforgettable. Let’s get in touch to plan a once-in-a-lifetime journey to the top of the world.

It’s not just the famous landmarks, but the unexpected alleys, rooftop views, or markets bursting with color that end up defining the trip. These are the places that fill your camera roll, and your stories.

The Mediterranean isn’t one destination; it’s a collection of moods.

Cliffside terraces glowing at sunset, yachts pulling into tiny harbors, seafood that never tastes better than when it’s eaten by the sea. With so many coastlines to explore, the question isn’t if you’ll go, but how you’ll want to do it.

I’ll help you design the Mediterranean trip that feels like yours.

Is there anything more enchanted than waking up inside an eighteenth-century Irish manor?

Adare Manor is a sprawling estate where you can savor lavish breakfasts in the banqueting hall, try your hand at falconry, or wander the manicured grounds by horse and carriage.

What makes it truly special? The turrets, gargoyles, and castle-like façade create a storybook setting, while the interiors offer pure five-star luxury. Guests rave about every detail, from the Michelin-starred dining room to the only La Mer spa in the British Isles.

I never knew grandeur and coziness could come together so beautifully. Message me to learn more!
