Travel experts like me predict the future of tourism and hope for the end of the COVID-19 pandemic and it has a name.. Rebound and Revenge Travel.
A very natural human act and visceral response to our freedom being stripped, stalled or regained.
In LOVE, the more established the relationship, the more extended the distress when it ends.
And goodness knows, we have felt the loss of travel.
But the rebound (RETURN) is real and is essentially a slingshot back into the world as we know it.
In a similar vein to relationships-
You can not take for granted that there will always be a flight tomorrow and an open border waiting to greet us.
It’s time to make up for lost time and peak experiences with a vengeance.
I would love to help you flip the switch…
Whether you’re ready to embark on a trip this very second or you’re gathering ideas for future plans, one thing IS for certain- getting loved ones together again is cause for a proper celebration, an epic vacation and the BEST REVENGE on Covid.

Soak up the sun in Latin American and the Caribbean
In Latin America and the Caribbean, varied terrain offers aquatic, jungle, and city adventures for all ages and skill levels. The crystal-clear waters surrounding Turks and Caicos are ideal for everything from kayak safaris to fishing charters. In Mexico, guests can swim with whale sharks, try stand-up paddleboarding in the Sea of Cortés, or learn to surf along the Baja Sur coast.

Get your culture fix in Asia
Asia’s cultural offerings are as varied as the continent is vast, which means shared learning experiences abound for entire families. Try your hand at traditions like aikido (a martial art) or ikebana (artful flower arranging) while exploring Japan. In Singapore, follow your appetite from the upscale hotel dining to the city’s iconic — and, now, UNESCO-recognized— hawker street-food centers for a one-of-a-kind dining experience.

Return to the sea (THIS IS MY 2021 return)
As cruises slowly reopen in 2021 and beyond, family ADVENTURE sailings offer a just-right mix of structure, education, and entertainment for families, and themed itineraries make it easy to bond over shared interests. Get up close to penguins, polar bears, and other cold-climate creatures on an Antarctic itinerary, or explore the architecture and history of ancient villages in Italy, Croatia, and Greece on a Mediterranean sailing
