As a Boston native, I might be a bit biased when I suggest it as one of my favorite cities in the world. The blend of rich history, diverse neighborhoods, and countless attractions make Boston a must-visit city. An increasingly popular destination, Boston also offers a wide range of accommodations to suit every traveler’s needs. Nevertheless, there are some properties that you simply cannot overlook.

To say I loved my stay at Miraval Berkshires would be an understatement. It is more than just a luxury hotel; it is a destination in its own right. A weekend at Miraval Berkshires offered me a rare opportunity to fully disconnect from daily distractions and focus entirely on my personal well-being. With its all-inclusive approach, mindful culinary offerings and extensive wellness facilities, Miraval Berkshires provides a profoundly rejuvenating experience that beautifully blends luxury with mindfulness.

Like many people, an African safari was always at the top of my bucket list. When I had the opportunity to stay at Shamwari Private Game Reserve, I came in with the highest of expectations (after all, I had dreamed of a trip like this my entire life!). To say that Shamwari Private Game Reserve exceeded my expectations would be an understatement. There is nowhere in the world like this incredibly special and meaningful place that also sets the standard for luxury. The reserve’s commitment to conservation and sustainability makes it an important destination for those who are passionate about wildlife and the environment, and the opportunity to witness Africa’s iconic wildlife up close and support the efforts to protect them is a powerful and rewarding experience.

Boston holds a special place in my heart as the city I grew up in. Boston offers a unique blend of rich history and modern innovation that creates an energy that is both familiar and ever-changing. Enjoy the Freedom Trail’s historic sites to world-class museums and diverse neighborhoods. While many visitors choose to come to Boston for just the weekend, I recommend an extended stay to make the most of one of the best cities to visit in the United States.

One of my favorite destinations in Europe, Italy really deserves more than six days! Still, time is a luxury and when you only have six days, it is important to make sure you prioritize the best places to visit in Italy. A perfect itinerary for a first-time visitor, this journey will take you from Florence to the Tuscan countryside and ending in Rome where you will secretly hope your return flight gets canceled. I love this route because it doesn't just show you Italy; it lets you live it, even if just for six days.

So you’re thinking of heading to Nashville, Tennessee for the weekend? That is a GREAT idea! After living in Nashville for two years, and now living in Boston, I can confidently say that Nashville is one of my favorite cities to visit in the United States. I love country music, which certainly helps given Nashville is the country music capital of the world. Nashville also has so much to offer outside of the vibrant music scene. This guide covers everything from where to stay to where to listen to live music to fun things to do. Here is how to spend a perfect weekend in Nashville.
