    Here’s a quick overview of our 10 Day Greece itine Here’s a quick overview of our 10 Day Greece itinerary, including Santorini & Crete. 

Greece was one of the countries I really wanted to make it back to before moving back to Boston from London. Even though I’ve visited 40+ countries I believe Greece has it all, and a country I would visit again and again. 

Balos Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and my favorite beach day ever. It does take some coordination, and I can manage that all for you.

As a luxury travel advisor, I can simply handle your hotel bookings for extra perks, or help plan your trip of your dreams, wherever that may be! 

🇬🇷Day 1-3: Athens
Day 1: Settle into the Plaka neighborhood Day 2: Visit the museum before the Acropolis
Day 2: Spend the day at the Acropolis

🇬🇷Day 3-6: Santorini
Day 1: See the beautiful Oia
Day 2: Explore the towns of Meglachorri & Imerovigli
Day 3: Explore Thera before taking a ferry to Crete

🇬🇷Day 7-8: Crete

🇬🇷Day 7: Visit Arkadi Monastery on the way to Chania 

🇬🇷Day 8: Epic Balos Beach day

🇬🇷Day 9: Galaxidi

🇬🇷Day 10: Delphi

    This week’s recap- Croatia! Even though we’ve be This week’s recap- Croatia! 

Even though we’ve been back in London this week, packing another five suitcases to send back to Boston, spending a week in Croatia was a lovely last trip to end our European adventure!

I can understand the hype of Dubrovnik. The Old Town is perfect for tourists, even seeming a bit too much so. It was completely perfect in every way, and truly feels like you’re on a real life movie set- hello Game of Thrones!

Here are a few takeaways from our trip…

🇭🇷Don’t try and save money and stay outside the Old Town, it’s completely worth it to spend a few nights in this beautiful area. Some properties will make you climb more stairs than others, and I’m so glad I did the research and found the perfect spot!

🇭🇷It’s very baby friendly! Besides climbing quite a few steps, everyone is so lovely and accommodating of babies and children. It also helps that lots of restaurants are outdoors, and have lots of space for strollers! 

🇭🇷There’s not much to do in the Old Town, but all the restaurants are fabulous and we never had a bad meal.

🇭🇷There are plenty of islands to explore in this area. I would also recommend staying along the coast for part of your trip. We found a beautiful luxury property- and I promise all the rooms have ocean views! 

🇭🇷There’s a popular day trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina, but my husband did this without us and wasn’t impressed. It just goes to show that some things are definitely overrated. 

I’m so grateful for our time in London; it’s allowed us to visit 40+ countries now. I not only plan travel for myself but can design and manage your entire travel experience too!

As a luxury travel advisor I work with industry relationships and in-destination partners to not only enhance your stay but create experiences you wouldn’t find on your own.

    Today’s destination spotlight is Ravello! Ravello Today’s destination spotlight is Ravello!

Ravello has gained increased attention in the last few years, and it’s easy to see why. It’s for the slow traveler, and not the easiest to get to. 
 
Ravello is a small mountain town, making it more difficult to access. Public buses are always jam packed and taxis will overcharge you. You only need to spend a night or two here if you’re passing through the coast. 

There’s a perfect way to plan to your trip, and as a luxury travel advisor I can aregane the perfect stay above the cloud, seamless transfers, and an incredible itinerary. Here’s a list of the best things to do in Ravello for inspiration!

🇮🇹Visit Villa Cimbrone, it’s really beautiful at sunset

🇮🇹Wander around Villa Rufulo

🇮🇹Eat at Ravelllo Osteria Italiana for dinner and enjoy after dinner drinks at Hotel Villa Maria

Have any questions? My DMs are always open!

    London is NOT England, and if you’re visiting Lond London is NOT England, and if you’re visiting London, whoever is planning your trip should have told you to explore England as well.

I know sometimes we want to cram as many destinations as we can in one trip, but spending the last almost four years as a Londoner, I far prefer the English countryside to the city of London. 

I’ve been meaning to write about England on the blog for so long, but the last year has been a bit chaotic to say the least.

And as a reminder, I work as a luxury travel advisor and if you have any interest in visiting London or England, I can help!

Here are some of the best places to visit in the English countryside.

    After a busy week packing up the last three years After a busy week packing up the last three years of our lives in UK, it seems a bit of an ‼️unpopular opinion that we’ve decided to move back to 🇺🇸Boston from 🇬🇧London.

Here are a few reasons we’ve made the incredibly tough decision:

1. We had a baby! And London has never felt like home, especially now with raising our little love without all the people we love the most around him- it’s REALLY hard.

2. Yes, America is expensive, but so is London. When we started comparing the price difference between our current 3 bed Boston condo to what we could get for a similar space in London, it just doesn’t even compare. 

3. We just miss Boston, and New England in general.

3. Daycare is more expensive here!!

4. Both of our careers look quite different here than in Boston, and when your career is a huge part of your life, it’s tough. I would love to continue to grow my business, and that exists in the US. 

5. Salaries here are much less, and we just aren’t able to save like we used to...sure we travel and spend a lot, but for us we were happy with how much we traveled living in New England, being able to travel around New England and DRIVE there, not having to fly.

6. Cape Cod/Nantucket summers (European
summers are BUSYYY)

    ‼️Here’s why you shouldn’t travel to Capri on a bu ‼️Here’s why you shouldn’t travel to Capri on a budget…

➡️Or book your next trip with me, a luxury travel advisor that made all these travel mistakes so you don’t have to!

🇮🇹Let’s start from the beginning, even though this island is fairly easy to ferry to, it’s not very easy to move around the island on your own or explore it once you’re there.

We opted to stay in a little bed and breakfast at the end of September (honestly the best part of our trip) that was close to the ferry port, but far enough away so it was quiet. It was a little less than a mile uphill, but we managed fine because we only had carry on size luggage. 

Even though Capri is beautiful, it’s very hard to get around with public transport, if you’re not booking those private transfers. 

If you’re not driving, to get from the ferry port to Capri Town you need to take the funicular. This option is always busy, and you could be queueing a while. 

To transfer between Capri Town and Capri Beach you need to take a bus (good luck trying to get a taxi). Since the buses are small you’ll also be queueing for a while, because you have to wait for multiple buses. 

Because Capri Beach and Capri Town are not close to each other, you’re unable to walk between the two. The two beaches we tried to visit were very small and crowded, this is why I highly recommend a beach club instead! 

If you’re booking a beach club on your own, you need to book reservations in advance.

🏝️Have you been to Capri? What was your experience?!
