Happy Thursday Hidden Gem Travel community! The clocks have jumped ahead and spring is almost here for those of us who live in the northern states. As readers know, I was just in Egypt and Florida last month, so I’ve had a few breaks from winter weather but am still excited for the spring season to arrive.
Spring is typically full of celebrations – milestone birthdays and anniversaries, graduations, and the like. What is your next celebration and if you haven’t started to plan, why not a bucket list trip?
The topic of this newsletter was inspired when I was reading the March/April issue of Virtuoso Magazine. A subscription is a gift I give my clients (you can’t buy it on a newstand). If you don’t receive it in snail mail, and are a client, email me to get on the list.
Read on for the scoop and a link to the digital magazine – perhaps you’ll be inspired to reach out to me about brainstorming a celebratory trip…
On The Water: Read > Dream > Plan
The theme of the magazine is ‘on the water.’ You may be surprised about the wide range of destinations that offer water experiences (ocean, river, lake, coastline… you get it). A glance at the table of contents lists:
- A city guide for Athens, Greece
- A small coastal town in Italy you should know about
- Turkey’s Bodrum – what to do when in port
- Seeing bears in Alaska
- The magic of the Maldives
- Coastal Maine
>> Personally, I was inspired through my own travels by two amazing, diverse water destinations in the last 6 months: New Zealand and Egypt, and I highly encourge readers to consider trips in the next year or two – perfect for the most memorable celebration! I’m happy to jump on a call to give you the intel.
You can read the digital magazine at this link.
To travel is to live… here’s to 2025 being an unforgettable and amazing year for new travel adventures! Let’s go…
