Experience Europe: Lisbon

-

 

Last month the European Union announced that it would be open to vaccinated travelers this summer. Naturally, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to start highlighting a few of my favorite European destinations whether you're booking this summer, for 2022, or beyond!

CITY: Lisbon, Portugal

The stunning capital of Portugal, Lisbon is one of the most vibrant cities in Europe! It effortlessly blends its heritage with striking modernism and progressivism. Combining a rich history with a buzzing culinary and nightlife scene and a pleasing year-round climate, Lisbon is a gem, but as it continues to gain popularity with tourists, it's beginning to re-write the narrative as a "hidden gem"!



🛌 MUST STAY

The AlmaLusa Hotels Baixa & Chiado is a 28-room boutique hotel and winner of "Boutique Hotel - Lisbon." Located in the heart of one of the city's most exciting neighborhoods, it provides easy access to all of Lisbon. Added amenities when booking through me include: 

  • 80% Dark Chocolate Flourless Cake

Unearthing Egypt and Jordan

Last month my mom and I finally got a chance to cross a Middle East trip off our bucket list. We had an absolutely life changing experience exploring both Egypt and Jordan, home to endless beauty and countless historic treasures dating back millenia. It's not easy to pick a highlight but the Pyramids, a private visit to a working archaeological dig, and a sunrise hot air balloon ride are not to be missed! With such busy days, the Nile River Cruise is the perfect way to travel and the Oberoi Philae staff is truly top notch. Plus, as usual the service at the Four Seasons was exceptional! EGYPT In Egypt we explored Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, the Pyramids of Giza, took a hot air balloon ride at dawn, and a luxury river cruise on the Oberoi Philae ! We had a jam packed itinerary but had plenty of plush accommodations to help us recharge. In Egypt we stayed at the Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza , the Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan, and of course aboard the Oberoi Philae Luxury Nile

The Mighty Five

On my recent trip through Utah I traveled with Utah Luxury Tours , which despite the name actually covers nearly all national parks, offering private tours and scheduled departures. We did a version of the Mighty 5 in Utah: https://utahluxurytours.com/tour/the-mighty-5/ . Our tour started in Las Vegas and ended in Salt Lake City, but they also offer the reverse or a round trip to either location. Groups are usually kept to around 6-8 people, but they will accommodate a slightly larger group of family and friends, or if there are more requests. They do their best to match the groups based on skill levels, from groups with experienced climbers and hikers to families with children or elderly. 🏜 THE TRIP 🏜  Day 1 🌵 We traveled from Las Vegas to Springdale, Utah where Zion National Park is located, stopping at Valley of Fire State Park. Day 2 🌵 We visited Zion National Park, with the plan to hike the Narrows, but unfortunately were not able due to dangerous river conditions. So, we did

¡Viva México!

  Last month I finally jetted off to Mexico for my first international trip in over 18 months!  Mexico is a big, beautiful country filled with so much history, culture, art, museums, architecture and of course...food, that it can feel almost overwhelming. So be sure to give yourself enough time to see it all.  It's also is an easy destination to travel to at the moment, because it does not require testing or vaccination to enter, just a negative test three days prior to returning to the United States. So let's jump right in! Here's a quick recap of my unforgettable trip through Mexico City and San Miguel de Allende! CITY: Mexico City, Mexico (CDMX) The week long trip kicked off in incredible, historic Mexico City, with a stay at Las Alcobas , which is a Marriott Property & Virtuoso Travel hotel.  There's so much culture and cuisine to take in I wish I had more time there! But I was so happy to be able to fit in a food tour and visits to so many historic buildings an
