TRAVEL REMINDS US WHAT’S IMPORTANT.  When we step away from our computers and immerse ourselves in nature and different cultures, we’re awakened and inspired. I am especially drawn to earth’s vast, open spaces and enjoy weaving them into the trips I plan for me and for my travelers. Some favorites: Patagonia, the Serengeti, and the Atacama Desert.These remote places, often with no Wi-Fi for miles, give us space to slow down and contemplate. By disconnecting from our regular lives, we can reconnect with our inner and outer worlds. I LOVE CREATING SEAMLESS TRIPS WITH SURPRISES. After finding out what kind of adventure my travelers are looking for, I suggest destinations, hotels, and activities

that I know they’ll be excited about.Then I carefully arrange their journey, leaving space for special moments. Two recent hits: a hot- air balloon ride over coffee plantations in Colombia and a private

desert stargazing excursion in northern Chile, complete with an astronomer, hot cocoa, and a long-range telescope!

FACING  The Great Wall, one of the most ambitious and—for the people who actually built it—backbreaking of humanity’s endeavors. World travelers have lusted after it for centuries.
