I’m heading to Thailand for the first time this October, and I already know it’s going to be unforgettable. After years of planning trips across Europe and Africa, I’m finally diving into Southeast Asia—and Thailand 2025 luxury hotspot feels like the perfect place to start. Why now? Because Thailand is redefining what luxury travel looks like. It’s jungle hideaways, clifftop spas, private island villas, and food that stops you mid-bite. I’m going there to experience it all firsthand—so I can bring back the best for my Fort Collins clients who want something fresh, soul-stirring, and flawlessly curated. If you’re craving adventure, beauty, and indulgence all in one destination, Thailand should be high on your 2025 list.

Let’s talk about river cruises worth booking—because these aren’t your average European vacations. More and more Fort Collins travelers are trading in the chaos of land tours and big ships for the charm of intimate river cruising. Think floating boutique hotel, wine-soaked villages, and waking up to cathedral views without lifting your suitcase. From the Danube to the Rhône, I’ve handpicked the best itineraries for clients who want culture, cuisine, and comfort wrapped into one seamless journey. And yes, I’ll make sure every detail is handled—flights, extensions, cabin upgrades, even the champagne on arrival.

I’ve had clients ask me, “Why use a travel advisor these days?” My answer? Because the internet doesn’t care if your hotel is next to a construction site. Fort Collins travelers turn to me for curated, stress-free travel designed around their unique preferences. I don’t just book flights—I craft unforgettable experiences. I know which river cruises are truly luxurious, which safari lodges are worth the splurge, and which Tuscan villas feel like a dream. It’s not about more options—it’s about the right ones.

TUSCANY WITHOUT CROWDS

Pitigliano Italy

I thought I knew Tuscany. I’d seen the postcard views, sipped wine in Chianti, wandered Florence’s grand piazzas. But then I discovered something quieter. More haunting. More human. “Tuscany Without Crowds” was the phrase that popped into my head the moment I arrived in Pitigliano. Carved from volcanic stone and standing proud above the hills, this medieval village feels untouched by time. There were no lines. No tour buses. Just me, a sunset, and the scent of wood-fired bread curling through the alleyways. If you’ve been to Italy and think you’ve seen it all — you haven’t. Not until you’ve stood here.

DREAMING OF JAPAN

There’s something magical about dreaming of Japan. Every time someone mentions cherry blossoms or anime, I light up. It’s a destination that feels both timeless and futuristic. And for a true bucket list trip, it checks every box. “Dreaming of Japan” becomes more than a wish—it becomes a plan. That plan starts with knowing when and where to go. Because if you time it right, Japan opens its heart. You’ll stroll under pink petals like confetti from the sky. And turn a corner into neon-lit Tokyo, buzzing with energy. Planning for spring of 2026 gives you the perfect runway. This is a journey that deserves space to unfold slowly. It’s not just a vacation—it’s a cultural immersion. So let’s walk through what makes it unforgettable. From blossoms to bento boxes, here’s what to expect.

CHASING NEW ZEALAND

New Zealand

Some places just stay with you. For me, New Zealand is that place. I had a quick taste during three days in Queenstown. But honestly, it wasn’t enough. That short trip lit a fire for more. Now, whenever clients mention a “Chasing New Zealand” adventure, I get excited. This is where scenery and adrenaline collide in the best way. Think epic drives, dramatic peaks, and wild, wide-open spaces. But here’s what most people don’t realize—planning for New Zealand takes time. The best trips here aren’t rushed. They’re carefully built, layer by layer, for unforgettable moments.

WILD LUXURY AWAITS

There’s a reason African safaris sit high on travel wish lists. Wild Luxury Awaits—and it’s more than just game drives and stunning sunsets. It’s the breath-catching hush before a lion roars. The stillness of morning as elephants pass your tent. It’s raw, unscripted magic. I still remember my first safari in South Africa—it changed me. It wasn’t just travel. It felt like connecting with something ancient. Something essential. And if you’ve ever dreamed of being close to nature in style, now’s the time to lean in. Because a luxury safari doesn’t just happen—it’s crafted. And the best ones? They’re planned at least a year ahead.

A thousand times yes. Australia invites you to explore, feel, and reconnect. It’s not just far away—it’s far beyond expectations. Your bucket list deserves something this extraordinary. So do you.
