Oslo, Norway – June 2019 (Updated)
June 1, 2019

I have a great job and love what I do, but there are some times when you just need a little change in scenery. So, imagine my surprise when the opportunity popped up to head to Norway for a week. Quite a scenery change, huh? I had never been to Norway, nor had I ever been that far north. I also had just returned from New Zealand, where I was just the furthest south I had ever been! Cramming both trips in within a month’s time was a challenge, but I was certainly up to the task! I’m even more blessed that I now spend a significant amount of time is such a gorgeous country.

Our Favorite Resorts in Tahiti: The Brando
January 1, 2019

As we’ve mentioned in a previous “Favorite Resorts in Tahiti” post, we feel that there is always room to add more resorts to the list. So, after returning from four glorious nights at The Brando, there was no question this property needed a feature.

Le Meridien Piccadilly, London, United Kingdom – November 2018
November 21, 2018

We just got back from yet another trip to London! When planning our first trip in 2011, we originally planned to go over Christmas, but the family objected and we decided to take time off at Thanksgiving instead. This actually worked out well since most attractions are closed for 3 days at Christmas, but the holiday light displays were up, and we were able to do a lot of Christmas shopping while we were there! So, when we planned a trip to go back, we knew that heading there around the Thanksgiving holiday would be the best option for the type of trip we wanted. From that point forward, our tradition was set and we now set aside time every late November/early December to travel to our favorite city. Sometimes we stray ever so slightly to accommodate other interests, but no matter when we go, it never disappoints.

Northern Europe
July 8, 2018

I’ll be making my way around Northern Europe throughout 2019. Potential stops include Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, Finland, Denmark and, unsurprisingly, the United Kingdom. For the areas I have visited previously, I’ll update my past reviews if I have any new experiences to share. For other trips, I’ll write reviews for non-business related side trips. Of course, I am always available for questions pertaining to the region. Although I only provide travel services to the South Pacific, I’m quickly turning into somewhat of a Northern Europe expert!

Stavanger, Norway – May 2018
May 15, 2018

It’s becoming a regular occurrence that I spend a lot of time in Norway. While I go there for business, I try to explore the country on a personal level. I’ve done the Hurtigruten Cruise along the fjords, which was fantastic, but it was time to do some exploring on the ground. So, at the end of my latest business trip, I enjoyed a hike in the fjordland just outside of Stavanger. The mission: hike Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock) in the DARK to be able to enjoy the sunrise overlooking the stunning Lysefjorden.

Marlborough, New Zealand and The Brando, Tetiaroa, French Polynesia – March 2018
May 11, 2018

I was beyond excited to visit two of my favorite South Pacific destinations, and now that the trip is over, I can confidently say it lived up to all expectations. I spent time hiking and wine tasting in the Marlborough region of New Zealand followed by some rest and relaxation at The Brando, an exclusive resort on the island of Tetiaroa in French Polynesia. I had been wanting to personally visit and share my review of The Brando for quite some time, so this was truly a dream bucket list-type trip and it just continued my love affair with each of these destinations.
