Another day digesting #art (figuratively & literally) in #London. First stop, @Tate Modern to experience Olafur Eliasson’s new exhibition, In Real Life, where our perceptions & senses were challenged by walls of moss, blind passages, re
Walking London’s streets, it’s impossible to ignore the #international influences at work. From a visitors perspective, this city seems to appreciate the cultural contributions from near & far. While food & fashion are obvious dis
Sights of the city - #Sunset (#nofilter) at Haggerston’s Kingsland Towpath. #ElectricAvenue in #Brixton where #breadfruit, #soursop and #guava are at every fruit stand. And, #BoroughMarket, for just about any food under the sun, including fresh
Love how the ordinary becomes #extraordinary away from home. My eyes roam up to the sky and down to the ground rather than remaining fixed straight ahead on the destination. . . . #uprouteme #London #Londontravel #europetravel #experientialtravel #lu
Loving our walks through #KentishTown & #TuffnellPark in #Islington & #Camden, #London πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§. Nice to be surrounded by so much history as well. Apparently, Islington was originally named Giseldone by the Saxons In 1005! The name means 'GΔ«sla's
Beyond the funny phones and high design, the TWA Hotel delivers in multiple ways, from AM to PM. #IntelligentsiaCoffee in the lobby. #Rooftop #pool & bar with views directly of the runway. #Cocktails in the famous Sunken Lounge or inside #Connie
I’m a child of the 80’s and my interest in the 60’s has always been the heavy drama of the decade - Civil Rights, MLK, JFK, Vietnam, the decolonization of over 30 African nations, etc. While I’m glad we’re now a few deca
Earlier this afternoon, we transferred our client from the maze-like #medina of #Marrakech to the wide open spaces of the Agafay Desert for a night of starry skied seclusion (and maybe a bit of #camel πŸͺ riding) @inaracamp. It’s one of a millio
Excited to be working on three new #Japan πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅ trips for clients! One of my favorite spots and always an incredible experience for any type of trip - for #families with young #kids (mine can’t wait to return) to #honeymooners & everyone in
Dreaming of a return to @jakestreasurebeach and the red earth of St. Elizabeth #Jamaica πŸ‡―πŸ‡² took me deep into the vaults, uncovering some of my favorite clips, so had to share. Indulge me. In 1978, when #vinyl was king, the film Rockers opens with
And now, back to our clients who arrived in #Sicily today. First stop? Surprise, surprise - a #winetasting & lunch @benantiwinery on the slopes of #MtEtna, Europe’s tallest active #volcano πŸŒ‹. From here, we drove them south into the rolling
Today, we’ve got some clients arriving (look out for that post next) and others departing, #Sicily. Those leaving are ferrying over to the #Aeolian Island of #Salina off the north coast of Sicily. They’ll be doing some serious R&R @ca
OK, OK, fine...The real reason we LOVE #Siracusa is that #AndreaBorderi, the #culinary artist behind @caseificioborderiofficial , makes #sandwich dreams come true, with only the freshest, local ingredients at #OrtigiaMarket. . . . πŸ“·: @caseificiobord
Our clients currently in Sicily are in #Siracusa (aka #Syracuse), staying @orteapalace - originally the Central Post Office in the 1920’s. A short stroll away is the Greek Temple of Apollo that dates to the 6th Century BC, making the 100-year-o
We’ve been crazy busy planning summer escapes & welcoming home clients returning from #Colombia πŸ‡¨πŸ‡΄, #France πŸ‡«πŸ‡·, #Morocco πŸ‡²πŸ‡¦ and #SouthAfrica πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦, but with clients arriving in #Rome yesterday and others landing in #Catania today, it&r
Our clients are arriving @patagoniacamp today and checking into their #yurts for a few days of #adventure and #relaxation in the jaw-dropping environs of #TorresDelPaine National Park in #Chile πŸ‡¨πŸ‡±. Enjoy! . . . #uprouteme #experientialtravel #luxur
As cold & rainy as today is in LA, my NY & Chicago clients have been dealing with much worse, so am thrilled for them to be touching down in #Jamaica πŸ‡―πŸ‡² and #Belize πŸ‡§πŸ‡Ώ. In JA, my clients will be beachside @GoldenEye before hitting the hil
Continuing with our #evolution inspired previous post, we’re moving on to the Galápagos Islands, #Ecuador πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡¨. Looking for a family vacation beyond the beach with action, adventure and #wildlife for all ages? The travel options in the G
As a proud, card carrying member of the #nerdnation, I’ve had many esoteric interests. Among them, my fascination with human #evolution has been a constant. While we share about 99% of our #DNA with #Bonobos and #Chimpanzees, our larger primate
After two weeks traveling through #Vietnam πŸ‡»πŸ‡³ with our private guides, our #honeymoon clients departed #HoChiMinhCity (aka #Saigon) today. We’re eager to hear about their highlights and think we can guess what they might be. They started off
