Trending Travel Destinations

Wow. what a crazy but wonderful start to this year.  Every time I started writing this blog, new client trip and event requests kept coming in that required immediate action so this article was put on hold again and again.

​Fast Forward, finally have a chance to breath so wanted to provide our Top Travel Destinations

 "Chasing the Experience” is the new mantra for 2023 as travel and events are abundantly back with new opportunities, resolutions,  and destinations to connect and inspire us.   Travelers are telling us they want big experiences to check off on their "Life lists" while the world is open again. 

 We have a lot of motivating content to share and will spend future blogs later on where to go, what to see and when to travel.
For now, here are our Top Travel destinations based on feedback and trip requests from clients:
