• There are a lot of negatives I could comment on for 2020 but I want to focus on positive!  The absolute high for me was my January trip to Tanzania and Rwanda. This moment kept me smiling and dreaming of better days ahead during the year. The world is a magical place. We’ll be back out in it as soon as we safely can. 2021 we are so ready for you!

  • Ever dreamed of living and working (from home) abroad? Well now might be your chance! Many countries are offering extended stay visas for longer visits! Many of us are feeling the need for not only a change of scenery but the chance to stay longer and really get the opportunity to become part of local life and to connect to a place and its people. With WFH being today’s norm, all you need is passport and stable wifi and you can call almost anywhere the office these days!  Interested? 🙋‍♀️

  • I was so fortunate to experience a safari and 4 of @singita_ lodges this past January!! The Highlight of 2020 for sure! If Africa is on your list now is the time to secure space for 2021! 

“Seamless attention to detail, complete privacy and a unique guest experience have been cornerstones of Singita’s offering for the past 27 years and this was once again highlighted in the annual Condé Nast Traveler’s Readers’ Choice Awards, which were just announced. 

We are honoured to have Singita lodges recognised in three categories: 
#1 in Africa Resorts: Singita Sasakwa Lodge (Grumeti, Tanzania)
#2 in South Africa Resorts: Singita Boulders Lodge (Sabi Sand, South Africa)
#5 in Africa Resorts: Singita Pamushana Lodge (Malilangwe, Zimbabwe)”

  • 2020 you are not our friend. I am sure many of your travel plans have probably been on hold as we wait out the uncertainly of this awful pandemic. However, I have some good news! Did you know some of the best destinations and trips (Safaris!) can take a year (if not more) in advance to secure the best options? Better yet with increased protections and flexible cancellation policies now really is the time to start planning for next year! Your plans might be on hold for now but your dreams don’t have to be! I’m here to help when you are ready!

  • And one of the downfalls of solo travel is you have to rely on strangers photography skills.. I swear that’s me in the arch! I really did this hike and it was awesome!!

  • One of the perks of traveling solo is the ability to pull over and take in the scenery. I almost missed this until I caught a glimpse in my rear view mirror and pulled over. Sounds like a life lesson..

  • “Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.”

  • Loved my time at the gorgeous @sorrelriverranch in Moab Utah. Sorrel is a working 240 acre ranch with riverside cottages, farm to table cooking and the cutest collection of animals-including fainting Pygmy goats (I swear that’s a thing), enormous potbelly pigs and miniature horses! Surrounded by incredible hiking & every activity you can think of-my favorite was SUP’ing on the Colorado River. Truly a special place for a family getaway.

  • The Lodge at Blue Sky is one of those very special places you will want to return to every season! Heli hiking & skiing from the property (and not just for experts), morning yoga followed by a visit to the serene spa or maybe it’s a chance to interact with the horses in the onsite horse sancutuary (followed by a signature drink at the bar called the Horse Thief (there’s a great story to that name). There’s so much to do but it could be a great place to do nothing at all & just recharge. The Creekside cottages would have been hard for me to leave! *Ask me about Auberges long stay distant learning program too-“get a fresh perspective as you work, play and learn with access to caregivers and business concierge and more!”

  • I think we can all agree it’s “Summer Unusual.” I may not be jet setting this August but I am busy researching and connecting with my travel industry peeps all over the world. When you are ready to go, I’m ready to help. Keep dreaming! I sure am!

  • Summertime and the living is...confusing. If you are like me you can’t stop thinking of the trips and plans you had for this Summer which have now been cancelled. Pro tip-take this time to take a look at that bucket list and let’s start planning for 2021! It’s going to be a busy travel year with 2020 trips “rolled over” and the increase in cabin fever and the intense desire to have fun (finally)! In the meantime, it’s Summer I’m in my home state of Maryland and doing Maryland things-eating 🦀!
