Destination Guides
A growing series
Detailed guides to the places I know best — what to see, when to go, how long to stay, and how it actually feels on the ground. New guides added each month.
South America
Galapagos Islands
The Galapagos Islands are an archipelago of volcanic islands distributed at the equator, 600 miles west of Ecuador in the Pacific Ocean. 97% of the land area of the islands are designated as a national park and World Heritage site: The Galapagos National Park (GPND). The GPND ensures visits can only be made to specific landing sites with certified naturalist guides, coordinates visits to these sites, scrutinizes ship itineraries, and carefully monitors the delicate ecological conditions.

Prague
Prague is one of my top 5 favorite cities in the entire world. Many of the buildings and structures in the city's Old Town and historic center were built from the 11th to the 18th century. Among them are Gothic churches, Renaissance theaters, Baroque town halls, and neoclassical commercial buildings — one of the most outstanding urban ensembles in Central Europe to have survived since the Middle Ages.

North America
Alaska
This is a destination on everyone's bucket list. Alaska is breathtaking, with nature found in every direction. For your first visit, I recommend a cruise & land combination. From personal experience and from clients, one thing is consistent: they all wish they had more time to experience all that Alaska has to offer. Book early, and speak with a travel advisor before narrowing down a specific itinerary.
