Truthfully, Peru wasn't high on my travel bucket list. I pictured Machu Picchu, of course, but I had no idea how much this country had to offer beyond that. Ten days later, it had completely stolen my heart and quickly became one of my favorite destinations I've ever visited.
One moment you're wandering colorful colonial streets, the next you're riding ATVs through the Sacred Valley, sipping champagne aboard the train to Machu Picchu, or watching alpacas graze beneath snow-capped peaks. Every day feels completely different from the last, which is exactly what makes Peru so unforgettable.
What surprised me most was how luxurious and seamless this adventure could feel with the right planning. We stayed at beautiful boutique hotels, enjoyed private guides who tailored each day to our pace, and dined at some of the best restaurants I've experienced anywhere in the world. Peru isn't about checking off landmarks—it's about immersing yourself in a destination that rewards curiosity.
Best for: Food lovers, active travelers, multi-generational families, and anyone looking for a bucket-list adventure that's rich in culture, history, and unforgettable scenery.
Before visiting Argentina, I expected incredible scenery. What I didn't expect was just how diverse this country would be. In less than two weeks, I stood beside glaciers that looked straight out of Antarctica, sipped Malbec overlooking the Andes, wandered quaint, European-style streets in Buenos Aires, and cruised through the Beagle Channel at the very end of the world. It's one of the few destinations where every stop feels like an entirely different country.
Argentina is perfect for travelers who appreciate beautiful hotels, incredible food and wine, breathtaking nature, and a sense of adventure without sacrificing comfort. Whether you're hiking in Patagonia, enjoying a leisurely vineyard lunch in Mendoza, learning to dance the tango in Buenos Aires, or spotting sea lions and penguins in Ushuaia, every region offers something completely unique.
Best for: Wine lovers, nature enthusiasts, steak/Malbec lovers, active travelers, couples, and anyone looking to combine dramatic landscapes with refined luxury experiences.
There's something about Greece that makes you immediately slow down. Maybe it's lingering over dinner as the sun sets over the sea, wandering whitewashed villages with no particular destination in mind, or taking an afternoon swim in water so impossibly blue it hardly looks real.
Greece is perfect for travelers who want a blend of history, luxury, incredible cuisine, and laid-back island life. One day you can be walking through ancient ruins that shaped the modern world, and the next you're sailing between islands, enjoying fresh seafood at a family-owned taverna, or watching the sunset from your private terrace overlooking the Aegean Sea.
What I love most about Greece is that every island has its own personality. Some are lively, others are quiet and authentic, while others are known for dramatic cliffs, colorful harbors, or hidden beaches. Choosing the right combination of islands is often the difference between a good trip and an unforgettable one. That's why I never recommend simply picking the places you've seen on Instagram.
Best for: Honeymooners, couples celebrating a milestone, history enthusiasts, and anyone dreaming of a luxurious Mediterranean escape.
Italy is one of those places that never goes out of style. It's where long lunches turn into unforgettable evenings, and every winding cobblestone street leads to another hidden piazza. Whether you're dreaming of sipping wine in Tuscany, cruising the Amalfi Coast, wandering the canals of Venice, or watching the sunset over Lake Como, Italy will capture your heart, every time.
As a destination wedding specialist, Italy holds a special place in my heart. I recently helped a wonderful couple celebrate their wedding on beautiful Lake Garda, managing every aspect of their guests' travel—from flights and accommodations to airport transfers and extending vacations throughout Europe. Instead of answering dozens of travel questions, the couple was able to stay present and enjoy one of the biggest celebrations of their lives while every travel detail was handled behind the scenes.
Best for: Honeymooners, destination weddings, anniversary trips, food and wine lovers, multi-generational families, and travelers who want to blend history, culture, luxury, and unforgettable scenery.
Portugal is one of Europe's best-kept secrets. It has all the ingredients travelers love—historic cities, dramatic coastlines, incredible food and wine, charming boutique hotels, and warm, welcoming people, but without the overwhelming crowds you'll find in many of Europe's most famous destinations.
Best for: First-time European travelers, food and wine lovers, couples, active travelers, and anyone looking for a relaxed luxury experience with fewer crowds than Italy or France.
Mexico is one of the most beautiful and accessible places to host a destination wedding. With turquoise water, gorgeous resorts, warm hospitality, and easy flight options from much of the U.S., it gives couples the chance to turn their wedding into a full vacation experience for the people they love most. Mexico is perfect for couples who want a wedding that feels elevated, relaxed, and memorable without asking guests to travel halfway across the world.
What many couples don’t realize is that choosing the right resort matters just as much as choosing the destination. Guest experience, room block terms, ceremony locations, food quality, privacy, resort size, nightlife, and backup weather plans can all completely change the feel of your wedding weekend.
That’s where I come in. As a destination wedding specialist, I help couples choose the right resort from the beginning, manage guest travel and room blocks, answer guest questions, coordinate logistics, and more, so you don't have to be the help desk for your own wedding.
Best for: Couples who want a beautiful resort wedding, easy guest logistics, room block perks, and a built-in vacation experience for their wedding.
