Destinations

Where I send people.

These are the ones I keep coming back to — the lodging holds up, the operators answer, and the trip lands. Pick a region.

89 guides across 4 regions

A working list, not a catalog — destinations I know firsthand or where I have someone on the ground when something needs sorting. The list is narrower than the trips I plan. That narrowness is the point.

Europe

Where most stories start.

Italy more than any other country. Switzerland correctly priced for what it delivers. France for the cities and the vineyards both. And the river-cruise spine that runs through it all.

Region

The Americas

Closer to home. Mostly wild.

Alaska does the heavy lifting. Hawaii does the rest. The Caribbean punches above its weight; the long weekends fill in around them.

Terraced rice paddies in Bali, Indonesia
Region

Asia & the Pacific

Specific. Slow-burn. Often life-changing.

Indonesia, the Maldives, French Polynesia — places that reward travelers who pick one and commit instead of trying to see them all.

Rivers

Eight rivers. Different reasons.

Itineraries, not destinations — that’s why they live in their own bucket. The Danube, the Rhine, the Mekong, the Douro, the Nile, the Magdalena, the Amazon, and the Po.
