WHITHER = WHERE TO

I have Morocco on my mind this month. It’s one of the world’s most captivating destinations: living history, ancient craftsmanship, spice-scented souks, stunning coastline, vast desert, and a culture of hospitality. But many friends have told me it feels daunting to plan a trip to Morocco. 

That's where I come in. Whether you're dreaming of a design-forward riad, coastal escape, or starry desert retreat, I can make it happen. 

It’s official—holiday mode has been deactivated, and it’s time to look ahead to spring break. But spring break is no longer just about the closest beach and the cheapest flight. This year, imagine upscale hotels, authentic experiences, and more interesting destinations. Find some inspiration below for where spring break can take you in 2026.

If you've ever had the Northern Lights on your bucket list, now’s the time to book it. And here’s why. 

Every 11 years, the sun has what's essentially a personality change known as solar maximum, going from chill and quiet to dramatic and stormy. We're currently at the peak of that cycle, which means more sunspots, stronger solar flares, and the kind of solar activity that creates those jaw-dropping aurora displays you've been dreaming about. Translation? This is your chance for Northern Lights travel, when nature's most spectacular light show is performing at maximum intensity.

This year's solar maximum means destinations like the northern US and the United Kingdom may also get a glimpse of the magic. Here's my breakdown of the best destinations to see the Northern Lights.
