Big Moments Deserve Grand Adventures

Have You Heard About Life-Transition Travel?

Pico Iyer once wrote: “A person susceptible to wanderlust is not so much addicted to movement as committed to transformation.” The author and professional wanderer knows a lot about the benefits of travel and exploration, and I cannot think of a better inspirational quote to start planning a fantastic trip to mark the big transitions in your life.

Planning a grad trip for a grandchild, an anniversary escape, a milestone birthday, or celebrating retirement? These are the moments that deserve something truly special, and I think a thoughtfully planned trip is the perfect way to honor them.

Let’s start the conversation early. When you get in touch with me ahead of time, I can help secure the best accommodations, flights, and experiences, ensuring every detail reflects the importance of the occasion.

If love is in the air, consider a remote island escape in the Seychelles or the Bahamas for white sandy beaches and bluer than blue waters. Craving more adventure in your love life? A luxury tented camp could be just the thing. Hike through the red rock vistas of Utah or ride camels across the golden dunes of Dubai.

For a different kind of getaway, trade the tropics for the mountains with a private cabin on a working ranch in Montana or British Columbia. Expect rustic-chic charm, sweeping views, a nearby babbling brook, and horses grazing just outside your door.

Are the two of you finally empty nesters? Travel can help distract you from that strange and echoing home once the youngest heads off to school. This might be a good time to look at the delightful glamor of luxury rail travel. Italy’s La Dolce Vita Orient Express has begun multi-day overnight rail journeys through the Tuscan countryside and southerly routes that take in Matera and Sicily. In November, there’s a truffle-themed trundle through Piedmont. 

One of the most rewarding ways to celebrate a big moment or enjoy quality time with the people you love is on a luxury cruise. These floating escapes are designed for group travel, offering just the right mix of togetherness and personal space. Many ships create a retreat within a retreat, with access to private lounges, sun decks, and spacious suites that feel like your own hideaway at sea. Private excursions add something extra special, giving your group the chance to explore each destination more personally.

Celebrating milestone birthdays, anniversaries, or family reunions? These are the moments that call for something truly special. Multi-generational travel is one of the best ways to bring everyone together, from toddlers to grandparents, in a meaningful and memorable way.

Private villas with full staff offer the comforts of home, plus the luxury of not lifting a finger. Secluded islands give families space to reconnect away from the hustle of everyday life. I can help you find destinations with flexible sleeping arrangements, kid-friendly amenities, and experiences everyone will rave about.

Some moments in life deserve more than dinner and a cake. They deserve to be commemorated with an experience that reflects just how far you’ve come and everything ahead. Maybe it’s a milestone birthday with your closest friends on a yacht in the Greek Isles. Perhaps it’s your 25th wedding anniversary, spent sipping wine in the vineyards of South Africa. Or maybe it’s your retirement, and you want to kick things off with a bucket-list adventure to the ends of the Earth.
