Dear Reader,
This issue is a little late. I’ve been busy planning two family spring breaks, a trip to Portugal, and a trip to Chicago. I also created a New Orleans curated list for a client. I am so excited!
I also just finished reading the VML Trend Report for 2025. It was a long but interesting read. The report highlights trends in various industries—tech, wellness, entertainment, and, of course, my favorite, travel. According to the report—which I should have read last fall—2025 will be a paradoxical year.
The report contains many examples of paradox, such as the desire for community but also for solitude. Are any of you feeling this way?
Here is a direct quote:
“Travelers are seeking out restorative solitude, as a route to personal growth and the foundation for cherishing connection with others.”
What do I think this means?
In order to build a connection with others, you must first fill your cup.
As more people crave a true shut-off, I have picked some properties that I think fit the bill.
If you are thinking about booking any of these, please get in touch with me first. As a travel advisor, I can offer partner perks and additional value. (See my new testimonial below.) I also have access to deals all the time. I would love to work with you.
