I have visited Ireland twice in the past three years and still can’t wait to go back. I couldn’t name only one reason for you to go, so I settled on seven!

My wife and I visited Australia in late April (think our October), with iconic stops like Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Kangaroo Island, Lizard Island (Great Barrier Reef), and Tasmania. The natural, unspoiled beauty of Tasmania is reminiscent of the South Island of New Zealand and so are the extremely friendly and unassuming locals. The wines here are some of the best in Australia, too.

My kids love animals and active adventure, so I thought Alaska was a good choice for our summer vacation. I did not regret that decision; in fact, I may have been the one who loved it most.

In my last trip to Thailand, I had the joy of experiencing urban vibrancy, lush jungle, and island life.

No matter which part of the Cotswolds you visit, you’re in for a treat! The Cotswolds boast peaceful countryside landscapes and historic villages, each with its own charm and take on England.

We believe that a great way to raise our children to be global citizens is to travel together as a family and teach them about culture and wellness along the way.

Multigenerational travel has been one of the top travel trends for the last few years, and according to a survey of more than 1,000 Virtuoso travel advisors, it is THE top trend for 2019.

I knew little about Bolivia before boarding my flight, but the names, places, and people had always inspired fantasies in my head about this landlocked country up high in the Andes. Bolivia will take your breath away - literally!

Quite often, clients come to us for assistance in building a broader trip around a special event. This was the case for my family this summer, heading to Spain for a friend’s wedding in Costa Brava. After a magical few days celebrating love and life, we headed on to explore the riches of Spain and discovered three absolute gems.

Just returned from an awe-inspiring trip hiking around the Dolomite Mountains and fell in love with this beautiful region of Italy. The Dolomites are located in between Venice and Innsbruck airport, just north of the famous Prosecco region.

While Mustique is a mystery to many, it should not be overlooked as you put your warm-weather-getway short list together.

Egypt is back! We are happy to report that after more than five years of political instability, intrepid travelers are slowly returning to Egypt as the country’s political situation seems to be stabilizing. Egypt offers no shortage of incredible history, antiquities, experiences, and adventures. Last year, two Huffman Travel Luxury Advisors visited Egypt with their families. Read what André and Stephanie loved about their adventures.

Want to have the time of your life? I recommend going away with your 5-year-old grandchild one-on-one. No parents, no siblings, no friends allowed. It is a memorable, educational, creative, and “tons-of-fun” trip.

Ireland conjures images of quilted green pastures, rainbows at every horizon, cozy pubs, and pints of Guinness. And while I won’t deny that I enjoyed all of those on my recent trip through Ireland, what I also found was a modern country rooted deep in tradition, very proud of its rich heritage and unique culture. Ireland really knows how to bring its very raw natural destination to life, leaving no experience unimagined for travelers looking for true luxury and authenticity.

US National Parks can be overlooked or forgotten as a destination as we focus on more exotic locations to explore; I am personally guilty of doing exactly this. When I was eleven years old, my parents took us on a road trip around the US for three weeks to explore our amazing National Parks. I was young enough to be awed and inspired, and old enough to remember all the unique experiences.

In my opinion, there’s never been a better time to visit this exotic, chic, urban metropolis that sits clearly on the Bosphorus Straits that divide Europe and Asia. With a major downturn in tourism in 2016, you will find the value hard to believe, but what will keep you coming back is the rich culture, history and above all, the warm welcome from the people you encounter.

Generally, when we think of Normandy, we think WWII history, visiting the beaches, then back to Paris. I’m here to tell you, it’s worth a much closer look. During a recent visit, I witnessed first hand that this less-explored region of France has so much more than beaches to offer!

The Balkan countries had been on my travel list for so long now. My interest was peaked after visiting Croatia multiple times and sneaking in a long weekend in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2014, right before I moved back to the States.

New Zealand has been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember. As our kids are getting older, I am becoming very aware that their extended breaks are limited. So this past Spring Break, we decided to take the plunge, travel the distance, and spend two weeks exploring New Zealand.
