OUR STORIES
The Places That Touched Our Heart
UNEXPECTED PORTUGAL
Portugal surprised me in ways I didn’t expect. Porto is not a city you just stroll through—you climb it. Two layers of hills, stairs, and cobblestone streets make your calves work, but the views and neighborhoods are worth every step.
REFUGIA CHILOE HOTEL & SPA
Refugia Chiloé is a serene luxury lodge that blends beautifully into the island landscape of the Island Chiloé, the largest island in Chile.
Riverside Luxury Cruises
Riverside Luxury Cruises launched in 2022 and is one of the newer river cruise brands on the block, but it’s making a name for itself thanks to its high level of service, unmatched luxury, and infectious spirit.
CASA DE CAMPO
Nestled along the sun-drenched coast of La Romana, this iconic resort blends luxury with the vibrant spirit of the Dominican Republic, offering an experience that’s both exhilarating and effortlessly relaxing.
RANCHO SANTANA
The captivating Rancho Santana is spread across 2,700 oceanfront acres. It is a world-class resort and residential community with beaches, hiking trails, fine dining, outdoor adventure, and a wellness sanctuary.
ICELAND’S RING ROAD
We all know the thrill—and the freeze—in your stomach when you glance at a map of one of the world’s most jaw-dropping drives and think: Where the heck do I even start? Can I drive this road in October? That was me before my Icelandic Ring Road trip.
BORGO PIGNANO
We arrived at Borgo Pignano knowing it would be beautiful—but nothing prepared us for the feeling. Perched on a hilltop surrounded by 750 acres of Tuscan countryside, this estate wasn’t just a retreat—it felt like stepping into…
SEXTANTIO ALBERGO DIFFUSO
At first, the rough stone walls and humble surroundings made me wonder what I had gotten myself into. But then, little by little, the magic unfolded. This place has all the comforts you’d ever want, layered with something far rarer: an authentic glimpse into Italian history.
VIRUNGA SAFARI LODGE RWANDA
When I first arrived at Virunga Safari Lodge in Rwanda, I thought of it simply as a great base for my bucket-list adventure—trekking with mountain gorillas. What I didn’t expect was that the lodge itself would become one of the true highlights of my time in Africa.
