Mykonos Travel Guide: Beach Clubs, Chora, and When to Go
Mykonos gets pitched to me constantly as “the party island,” and it earns that reputation fairly. But the clients who come back most enthusiastic aren’t always the ones chasing the beach clubs — they’re just as often the couples who spent a quiet morning wandering Chora’s whitewashed alleys before the day-trippers arrived. Mykonos pairs beach-club…

Czech Republic Travel Guide: Prague, Castles, and When to Go
A couple I worked with last year told me they almost skipped Prague entirely because it felt “too far off the beaten path” for a first European trip. I talked them into three nights there on their way to Vienna. They ended up cutting Vienna short. That’s the story I hear over and over with…

Albania Travel Guide: The Riviera and When to Go
Albania is the destination I’ve started fielding the most curious, slightly hesitant questions about — clients who’ve seen a friend’s photos of the Albanian Riviera and want to know if it’s actually as good as it looks, or if it’s too good to be true. My honest answer is that it’s real, it’s still relatively…

Alhambra Tickets: When to Go, Price, and Insider Tips
This is the one site in Spain I tell every single client not to leave to chance. I’ve had to deliver the bad news more than once that the Alhambra sold out for someone’s exact travel dates, and it’s a genuinely disappointing thing to miss — there’s nothing else in Europe quite like walking through…

Bulgaria Travel Guide: Sofia, Value, and When to Go
Bulgaria is the country I get the most surprised reactions about when I bring it up as a travel option. People assume Eastern Europe means Prague, Budapest, maybe Krakow — Bulgaria doesn’t usually make the first list. Even so, KAYAK’s 2026 travel trends data shows search interest in Sofia up 136% for 2026 trips, and…

Sagrada Familia Tickets: When to Go, Price, and Tips
I’ve sent a lot of clients to a lot of churches across Europe, and nothing gets the reaction the Sagrada Família does. It’s the one site where people walk in expecting a nice building and walk out saying it was the best thing they saw on the entire trip — the way the light moves…

Poland Travel Guide: Krakow, History, and When to Go
A client once told me she almost didn’t book Krakow because she worried it would feel heavy the whole trip, given its proximity to Auschwitz. What she found instead was a city with one of the best-preserved medieval squares in Europe, a genuinely fun food and nightlife scene, and history that’s handled with more care…

Greece Travel Guide: Athens, the Islands, and When to Go
A couple planning their honeymoon once asked me to just pick between Santorini and the Amalfi Coast for them, since they couldn’t agree. I told them the honest answer: Greece gives you whitewashed cliffside towns and blue-domed churches that feel almost more otherworldly in photos than in person, and then in person, they somehow feel…
