One thing travel cured me of...

Thinking everywhere should work like home.

Sometimes the train is late.

Sometimes dinner takes two hours.

Sometimes the store closes in the middle of the afternoon.

At first, those things can feel frustrating, bu eventually you realize...

You're the visitor.

The country isn't doing it wrong. It's simply doing it differently.

That's when travel becomes less about changing the place, and more about changing you.

These are some of the things that I have learned after travelling to more than 50 countries...

After travelling to more than 50 countries, I've noticed something... The best souvenirs never fit in a suitcase.

I honestly don't remember most of what I bought, if I bought anything that I brought home.

But I do remember...

The grandmother in Portugal who corrected my terrible pronunciation with a laugh and a kind smile.

The little café where they brought me something I never ordered because they thought I'd like it.

The stranger who gave up his seat on a train in Japan.

Years later...

The souvenirs are gone, but the memories and the stories remain.

Maybe that's why memories and experiences are worth more than merchandise.

After travelling to more than 50 countries, I've noticed something...

I've never met anyone who regretted taking the trip.

I've met plenty of people who regretted not taking it.

They tell you about the cruise they almost booked. The country they always wanted to visit. The retirement trip that somehow never happened.

Life has a way of convincing us there will always be another year.

Sometimes there is. Sometimes there isn't.

I've heard far more stories that begin with... "I wish we had gone."
..than stories that begin with... "I wish we hadn't."

Travel isn't always about spending money.

Sometimes it's about refusing to let time quietly make the decision for you.

Travel while you can.

This is Shanghai - not an AI rendering, but real and from my iPhone.

I've travelled to China three times, and I'm about to make it four.

Join my husband and me on an unforgettable 14-day journey combining Beijing's Forbidden City and the Great Wall, the ancient Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an, a luxury Yangtze River cruise through the Three Gorges, and the dazzling skyline of Shanghai.

This isn't a trip I'm simply booking for you — I'll be there, walking the Great Wall and cruising the Yangtze right alongside you.

April 6–20, 2028

International flights included from North American Gateways

12 nights of hotels and cruise accommodation, all meals as scheduled.

Spaces are limited. Email me: [email protected] to start the conversation and reserve your cabin.
