Panama—my hometown—is one of those destinations that surprises travelers. In just a few days, you can move from watching ships cross the Panama Canal to snorkeling in Caribbean islands and visiting indigenous communities deep in the rainforest. What makes Panama particularly special is how easily these experiences fit into a short trip. This itinerary is designed for curious, active families, or couples or individuals, who want adventure, culture, and just the right amount of downtime. It’s designed to explore the city and areas around it (by car, max 3 hours).

As a Swiss living abroad, I’ve been traveling to Switzerland every year for as long as I can remember. Our time there is usually spent with family or discovering places where locals go, rather than following the classic tourist trail. On our most recent family trip, we decided to visit Bad Ragaz at the end of our ski sessions in nearby areas of Pizol and Arosa, which was the perfect ending to our trip.

El Valle de Antón has always been a special place for me. As a Panamanian, it is a cooler, greener escape from the city where I have spent days surrounded by nature, waterfalls, and open-air adventures since my childhood. This recently opened hotel has elevated the spirit of El Valle through thoughtful design, a strong wellness focus, delicious gastronomy while embracing it's gifted nature surroundings.

Iceland is one of those rare destinations where every turn of the road brings something unexpected and is in many people’s bucket lists, at least it was in mine for a long time! From steaming geothermal fields and glacial lagoons to black sand beaches and charming fishing towns, the country offers dramatic contrasts and breathtaking scenery. Spring is an ideal time to explore, with fewer crowds, lingering chances of Northern Lights, and weather that can shift from rain to snow to sun in a single day. This 10-day itinerary takes you from the buzzing capital of Reykjavík to the remote beauty of Mývatn, the waterfalls of the south coast, the glacier on the east coast, and the Golden Circle—all while traveling at your own pace, with room to adapt and explore off the beaten path.

Mexico City (CDMX) is an electrifying mix of history, culture, gastronomy and entertainment. Whether you're here for a weekend escape or a full week of exploration, a bachelorette trip or a romantic trip, the city never fails to surprise. I visit CDMX a lot, so I created this guide with a compilation of highlights of this city, including high-end restaurants, hidden speakeasies and immersive art exhibitions.
