Todos Santos is a small, unique Mexican town on the coast of Baja. It’s a place you go to rest, reset, eat good food, and breathe in the smell of the ocean while sipping a mezcal margarita. The area is beautiful, and created for peace, but the cute town of Todos Santos allows for exploring great restaurants and art as well!

Jackson Hole is an adventurer’s paradise while providing some of the best lodging, dining, and beautiful sites anywhere in the world. It is amazing in both summer and winter—great for families, couples, singles, and solo travel. If you enjoy hiking, skiing, rafting, fishing, water sports or simply sitting by a cozy fire and watching bison or moose graze in the background, book a trip there now. You won’t regret it.

I have lived most of my life in Newport Beach. There is no place like it. After traveling all over the world, I can truly say it’s one of the most beautiful spots on this planet. It is a place connected on most sides by either the bay or the ocean. It has magical sunsets and provides ample opportunity to be active outdoors, with weather pretty much great all year long. Summer is obviously the most popular time to visit, but for amazing weather with less crowds, try visiting late Spring or Fall!

I spent a magical four days in Amsterdam, extending a layover home from Africa. Amsterdam’s picturesque canals, charming buildings and vibrant atmosphere definitely energized me! The city’s unique blend of history, culture and modern life creates a sense of enchantment. There are definitely some “must-do’s” in this stunning city. But the best part of visiting Amsterdam is simply walking the network of canals and bridges, admiring the boats gliding along the water. The well-preserved architecture and charming streets filled with cafes and shops provide eye candy for hours on end.

We spent a full week in Guatemala with our three sons, ages 8–13. It makes an amazing family vacation, full of adventure and culture, but also would be an ideal destination for couples, solo travel or friends. It is a place for all ages. Each experience is so rich, and the people are so kind and the country so diverse. You could spend weeks here and not run out of things to do! For a one-week time frame, my top three destinations are Antigua, Lake Atitlan and Tikal.

San Miguel is magical. It is a destination to completely get lost in, wandering up and down the cobblestone streets astounded by the beauty around every corner. This is a foodie and an architectural dream. Visit to eat, drink and experience the history and culture of this gorgeous town!
