World Travel Guide

Locations: Limoges and Nieul, France

Lex and I seek out a luxurious chateau nestled in the French countryside to celebrate our anniversary, La Chapelle Saint Martin in Limoges, France, where we immediately felt at home and the staff and owners treated us like family. Fine dining, beekeeping, a private tour at Bernardaud, a restored monastery, exploring the countryside in a vintage CV2, our weekend was filled with romantic adventure and culinary delights!

Locations: Aguas Calientes and Machu Picchu, Peru

Discover Machu Picchu and stay in luxury at Inkaterra hotel! As one of the seven wonders of the world and perhaps one of the most well-known spots on the planet, we knew this had to be our next stop during our Peru-adventure following Urubamba. We rode the train from Urubamba to Aguas Calientes, taking in the beautiful Andes mountains along the way, arrived in Aguas Calientes, explored the street markets, hiked to the Sun Gate, and of course, the main highlight: Machu Picchu!

 

Location: Zürich, Switzerland

The most important thing about a trip to Zurich is to have a centrally located home base. We recently passed through Zurich for a few days, mixing a little bit of business with pleasure and enjoying the city. When looking for the best location and service in the city there is one answer – Baur au Lac. With a two-star Michelin fine dining restaurant, Au Pavillon, a one of a kind artwork collection, fall in love with this family-owned five star hotel!

Ending a several week work-play vacation in Europe, Lex and I ended up in Frankfurt booking a last-minute flight back to New York. This was not the first time we had a vacation-week conclude in Frankfurt, and this go-around we were looking to get out of the city and explore something new. With a little research we are happy to share the absolute perfect Frankfurt weekend escape – Schloss Hotel Kronberg in Taunus and the beautiful German wine region, the Rheingau.

If there ever was a hidden gem it is our discovery of Wakefield, Canada: the small, quaint, charming water-front town just 40 minutes north of Ottawa. What started as an almost accidental discovery turned in to one of our best getaways! We discovered the town via Airbnb when searching for unique stays and stumbled upon a boat-house! Little did we know we had stumbled upon a great find for all the little things! Dining, sight-seeing, activities, and more!
