"Cruising? Isn't that for retirees and families with kids?" That's what I used to hear constantly. And honestly? I get it. Let's be real—when you hear "cruise," you're probably thinking crowded buffet lines, chaotic pool decks full of screaming children, and cheesy entertainment. . But here's what I need you to know: Cruising in 2026 is not what you remember.  Especially when we're talking about adults-only cruises—specifically, Virgin Voyages. As a Virgin Voyages First Mate

Let's talk about what that $5,000 vacation actually costs you. Because it's not $5,000. When I tell people I specialize in luxury group travel—curated Caribbean getaways, milestone celebrations, and adults-only cruises—I sometimes get "the look." It’s the one that says: "That sounds amazing, but isn't that kind of... expensive?" Here's what high-achievers understand: Luxury travel isn't an expense. It's one of the smartest investments you can make. It’s not because they have

Your 40th (or 50th, or promotion, or sabbatical) deserves more than dinner and a cake. You know this. You've been thinking about it for months. Maybe you've even started a Pinterest board or saved Instagram posts of dream destinations. But then the planning overwhelm hits: Who do you invite? Where should you go? How do you coordinate everyone's schedules? What if people can't afford it? Who handles all the logistics? And suddenly, that beautiful vision of marking your milesto

Not all Caribbean resorts are created equal. While everyone's booking the same crowded all-inclusives they see advertised everywhere, dealing with spring break energy and mediocre buffets, high-achieving professionals are escaping to a completely different tier of Caribbean experiences. I'm talking about adults-only properties where the vibe is sophisticated, the service is impeccable, and every detail is designed for people who want to actually disconnect and restore themsel

You've earned the vacation. You've blocked the time on your calendar, maybe even set your out-of-office reply. You're scrolling through Instagram, looking at pristine beaches and infinity pools, imagining yourself finally, blissfully alone. Solo travel sounds perfect, right? Complete freedom. Your schedule. Your pace. No compromises. And for some trips, it absolutely is. But here's what I've learned after years of curating luxury travel experiences for high-achieving professi

Let me guess: You've been "meaning to book a vacation" for months now. Maybe even years. You've got the PTO saved up. You've browsed destination photos on Instagram. You've even mentioned it to friends. But somehow, you never actually pull the trigger. And when you think about booking something just for you—adults-only, pure relaxation, zero family obligations—a little voice whispers: "Isn't that selfish?" Let me be clear: It's not. As a luxury group travel specialist who wor

Life’s milestones deserve more than a simple dinner or a gift card. Birthdays and anniversaries are opportunities to pause, reflect, and celebrate in ways that feel truly memorable. For busy professionals, planning something extraordinary can feel daunting — but that’s where group travel shines. A curated trip transforms these special occasions into experiences that bring people together, create lasting memories, and celebrate in style. Why Group Travel Elevates Milestones Ce

Traveling with a group can be one of the most rewarding ways to see the world. But for many busy professionals, the thought of planning a group trip feels overwhelming. Coordinating schedules, managing logistics, and balancing different personalities can quickly turn excitement into stress. That’s where hosted group trips come in. By joining a trip that’s already curated and managed, you get all the benefits of group travel without the headaches of planning. Stress-Free Plann

As a travel advisor, my days are filled with helping clients design journeys that fit their unique needs. But each year, I also carve out time to host one or two curated group trips of my own. These experiences aren’t just about travel — they’re about connection, community, and creating memories that go beyond the itinerary. Creating Space for Connection Curated group trips are designed with intention. They bring together people who may not know each other at the start but le

When people think about group travel, the first word that often comes to mind is “complicated.” Coordinating flights, accommodations, activities, and personalities can feel overwhelming. As a busy professional myself, I understand how stressful it can be to juggle logistics while trying to enjoy the journey. That’s why I’ve built my travel advising practice around one core principle: group travel should be stress-free. Listening First Every successful trip begins with listen

As a busy professional, my calendar is often packed with meetings, deadlines, and commitments that leave little room for spontaneity. When I do carve out time to travel, I want those experiences to be meaningful, restorative, and memorable. That’s why I believe custom group trips are the ultimate way to travel together. Shared Experiences, Deeper Connections Traveling with a group isn’t just about logistics — it’s about connection. Whether it’s colleagues celebrating a milest
