While luxury real estate executive Julie Harron prepared to celebrate her expansion to Palm Beach in early March with over 200 guests, the reality of COVID-19 postponed the JH Real Estate Group launch at Hindman Palm Beach, co-sponsored by her friend Jay Krehbiel. The ultra-elegant Harron, who grew up as an avid participant in the Palm Beach and Jupiter social circles, knew it didn’t change her commitment to offering Palm Beach to her clientele. In fact, Harron became a pandemic prognosticator, knowing that Palm Beach would be the place where discerning people would love to shelter, and bring family together.

Big moments deserve big backdrops—and ideally, a little bit of privacy, too. We chose some of our favorite knee-dropping destinations from around the globe—and asked veteran luxury travel advisor, Shawna Huffman Owen, for some recommendations —where you can revel in your engagement with the person you just happen to love the most in the world.

Social distancing doesn’t have to happen in your home. Kids are on spring break or in online school, and you are working remotely. Why not move your family to a safe, new destination where you can do exactly the same (limit social interactions) while still enjoying the great outdoors, or at least changing the view from your window.

While we may feel more limited than ever in our activity, that doesn’t mean we can’t dream.

During this period of social distancing, we wanted to share some inspiration for keeping busy, entertained, and healthy. Some of our suggestions are meant to bring travel to you, whether you’re sitting in your favorite armchair or reorganizing your home. Most of it, however, is simply meant to put a smile on your face.

During my last transpacific flight, I finally watched Where’d you go, Bernadette, a dramedy taking a West Coast family on one of the most sought-after trips: Antarctica. Although the movie takes some creative liberties that make a travel advisor cringe, it shows how inspiring and life-changing the polar regions are. Antarctica is still on my list, but last summer I was fortunate enough to travel to its northerly sibling: the Arctic Circle.

Together, Shawna, André, and Monique escorted a small-group wellness journey to Peru last Spring. Here are their insights.

If you are searching for a cost-effective spring break, there are two rules of thumb. Avoiding the hot spots like Miami, the Caribbean, and popular European cities is crucial, and going all in with all-inclusive packages, a travel holy grail for families in search of getaways that don’t break the bank.

Officially, France has only one national language.But considering how inextricably food and wine are tied to the country’s identity, gastronomy ranks a close second. While most cultures’ culinary heritage is integral to their characters, few have been as revered, both at home and abroad, as the amalgam of dishes and techniques that make up the French food vernacular.

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.

From our outdoor soaking tub overlooking the dotted landscape of Laikipia, wine glasses in hand, we watched a parade of elephants slowly amble into the sunset. Karibu, or welcome to Kenya, where moments like these make you feel as if there’s no place more romantic or secluded in the world. This is the Africa with which I fell head-over-heels in love — and the setting for the first, wild adventure of my married life.

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.
