In August 2027, I’m traveling with Avalon Waterways on an incredible journey through Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand, and I’m inviting a small group of my clients to experience it with me.

River cruise or guided tour - which trip is right for you? While they may look similar on the surface, these two trips are completely different experiences.

One of the things I enjoy most about travel is that there is always a new way to see the world. Sometimes it is a cruise line visiting an entirely new region. Sometimes it is a special event that happens only once every ten years.

Think river cruising is too expensive? You may be surprised.

Each spring, for just a few short weeks, the Netherlands quietly transforms. Fields of tulips stretch out in every direction, soft colors blending into the horizon. The air feels different. Slower. Lighter. Like the world has taken a deep breath. And right in the middle of it all… you’re there.

There are some places in the world that are beautiful year-round… and then there are places that are only truly magical for a very short window of time. Keukenhof Gardens in the Netherlands is one of those places.

Today we are doing a little myth busting. There are a lot of “rules” floating around the internet about travel, and some of them just refuse to die. The problem is that some of these myths can actually cost you money or cause you to make really bad planning decisions. So let’s clear a few of these up.

Every once in a while, an itinerary comes along that just feels a little different—in the best way. This Danube River cruise from Romania to Budapest is exactly that kind of trip.

A river cruise lets you sail into the heart of incredible cities and picturesque towns, giving you access unlike any other vacation.

Next summer, I’ll be setting off on a river cruise I’ve dreamed of for years — The Danube from Romania to Budapest, sailing aboard the Avalon Passion beginning July 26, 2026. This itinerary blends everything I love most about travel: rich history, stunning landscapes, charming European towns, and the ease of unpacking once while exploring multiple countries.
