What does your perfect vacation day look like?

My perfect vacation day starts with a walk, whether it’s on a trail, along the shore, or in town. Breakfast is my favorite meal, so I’d ask the concierge for their top recommendation and ask for a table outside. Ideally, I’d be with some of my girlfriends who also like to be active. The perfect vacation day would be 40-75 degrees, and we’d spend a few hours hiking, biking, or kayaking. The perfect afternoon would involve a hammock and a book, and a food tour or dinner with a view.

Which destinations are you looking forward to visiting? Why?

If I could go anywhere in the world tomorrow, it would be Bali. I was meant to attend a family camp at Bali’s Green School, but like so many plans in 2020, travel was put on pause.

Japan and Singapore sit high on my bucket list, and I’d also love to return to Italy. I’ve visited Florence, Venice, and Rome, but Lake Como and the Amalfi Coast are still calling. I even have relatives living in Ravenna whom I’ve never met. And then there are the Dolomites, a place I’m especially eager to hike, as it’s known to be breathtaking natural beauty and mountain landscapes like these are my absolute favorite.

Travel Tip

  • Pack lightly! And where possible, do a food tour—it's a great way to get to know the area through a local's perspective.

Testimonials

The trip was perfectly tailored to our style and needs, as if you'd been planning trips for us for years. The personal attention and care you put into every detail did not go unnoticed. There is no way we could have achieved what you did, especially the added value you brought to the experience. Personally, I am incredibly grateful for your work. When things aren't organized, it can ruin the fun for me, but not once on this trip did I feel that way. The trip was special, and it all started with you. I frequently found myself saying "wow" throughout the journey.
