Ryan continues to impress us with our trips. We loved the Casa Faena and with a great rate too! It made for a spectacular stay during Art Basel Miami. What we loved was a personalized trip itinerary that included all of the local art fair suggestions and local restaurants. Thank you Ryan!!

Ryan went above and beyond to make this girls trip special for us. He helped us to make a last minute change in room type - from 2 rooms to a 2 bedroom suite and was very communicative and helpful. He made sure everything was taken care of so that we could enjoy our weekend without worry. Will definitely be using Ryan for all my future travel needs! 10/10 recommend!

Ryan was extremely helpful throughout the process. We initially wanted to go on our trip a different weekend, but due to the prices, Ryan helped us find a different weekend at half the price which also worked great for us. He was super easy to work with and even was able to get us room upgrades and confirmed all the travel to and from the hotel and Airport for us. My wife and I highly recommend Fora and Ryan!!!

The Ultimate Escape to Fiji: My Stay at Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort
If there’s one place on earth that truly captures the meaning of “luxury meets nature,” it’s the Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort in Fiji. It’s a destination that somehow blends five-star comfort, deep ocean discovery, rainforest adventure, and the warm, loving spirit of Fijian culture in a way that feels almost otherworldly. Getting there is part of the fun. It’s just a 10-hour nonstop flight from LA—and yes, you technically land in the future thanks to the International Date Line. But once you arrive, the transition is seamless. Time slows down, the air gets softer, and suddenly you’re surrounded by turquoise water and people greeting you with a genuine “Bula!” that feels like a hug.

Ultimate VIP Guide to Art Basel in Miami Beach
Art Basel Miami Beach is one of the most exciting cultural events in the world—a place where fine art, fashion, and design collide with sun, sand, and nightlife. I love arriving just before the week kicks off to take full advantage of the VIP previews, museum-quality installations, and curated dinners across town. This isn’t just about the art on the walls—it’s about the conversations, the energy, and the creative electricity you feel in every corner of Miami. From the Design District to the Faena’s annual installation, it’s a cultural deep-dive I look forward to every year.

Southern Charm Road Trip: Charleston to St. Augustine
I’ve always believed the South isn’t just a place—it’s a feeling. There’s something about the wraparound porches, the soft drawl of a stranger saying “y’all,” and the smell of biscuits baking that just slows time. I created this itinerary for clients who wanted charm, culture, and connection—without long drives or constant packing. From sipping champagne under chandeliers in Charleston to ending the night with s’mores by the sea on Amelia Island, this route is about savoring the South the way it’s meant to be done: slow, sweet, and with a little bit of soul.

How I Traded 7 Hotels & 10 Train Stations for a Balcony & an Aperol
I’ve done Europe the “hard way”—dragging luggage over cobblestones, sprinting for trains, checking in and out of hotels every few nights. It’s exciting, sure, but exhausting. This time, I wanted ease without compromise. Enter: an 11-day Mediterranean cruise aboard the Norwegian Epic. I unpacked once, settled into my balcony stateroom, and let the ship do the navigating. Each morning brought a new country, a new espresso view, and no stress. It was the kind of trip that makes you wonder why you ever traveled any other way.

Why Every Solo Traveler Should Cruise to Bermuda

I met amazing people, indulged in great food and spa time, and left completely refreshed. It’s a reminder that solo travel doesn’t have to mean going it alone.
