Just returned from an awe-inspiring trip hiking around the Dolomite Mountains and fell in love with this beautiful region of Italy. The Dolomites are located in between Venice and Innsbruck airport, just north of the famous Prosecco region.

While Mustique is a mystery to many, it should not be overlooked as you put your warm-weather-getway short list together.

Egypt is back! We are happy to report that after more than five years of political instability, intrepid travelers are slowly returning to Egypt as the country’s political situation seems to be stabilizing. Egypt offers no shortage of incredible history, antiquities, experiences, and adventures. Last year, two Huffman Travel Luxury Advisors visited Egypt with their families. Read what André and Stephanie loved about their adventures.

Ireland conjures images of quilted green pastures, rainbows at every horizon, cozy pubs, and pints of Guinness. And while I won’t deny that I enjoyed all of those on my recent trip through Ireland, what I also found was a modern country rooted deep in tradition, very proud of its rich heritage and unique culture. Ireland really knows how to bring its very raw natural destination to life, leaving no experience unimagined for travelers looking for true luxury and authenticity.

Charleston is hot. The southern city was named the 2017 Top City in America by Travel + Leisure, and here at Huffman Travel, we can’t get enough of it! Monique and Sandi each visited Charleston recently; Monique with a group of girlfriends and Sandi with a group of travel professionals from Travel + Leisure. Here’s what they loved.

In my opinion, there’s never been a better time to visit this exotic, chic, urban metropolis that sits clearly on the Bosphorus Straits that divide Europe and Asia. With a major downturn in tourism in 2016, you will find the value hard to believe, but what will keep you coming back is the rich culture, history and above all, the warm welcome from the people you encounter.

The Balkan countries had been on my travel list for so long now. My interest was peaked after visiting Croatia multiple times and sneaking in a long weekend in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2014, right before I moved back to the States.

New Zealand has been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember. As our kids are getting older, I am becoming very aware that their extended breaks are limited. So this past Spring Break, we decided to take the plunge, travel the distance, and spend two weeks exploring New Zealand.

Greece had been on my bucket list for years. Whose isn’t it on? I’ve always been intrigued with the historical aspect of Greece, but most of all, I had to see for myself if the sunsets are really that great and if the food is really that good. I am happy to report Greece lives up to the hype. Don’t think twice about it, just go!

One small country, bordered by Mexico, Belize, Honduras, and El Salvador, is ideally situated: Guatemala. With its ancient Mayan temples, Spanish colonial cities, cloud-shrouded highland villages, and thirty-three volcanoes (three of which are highly active), it’s a destination that will boggle all of your senses!

Have you ever noticed that each country, each city within that country, and each neighborhood within that city, seem to have a life of their own? We all relate to some areas over others. Some may prefer LA over New York, Seattle over Dallas or Miami over Atlanta. Almost as if each city has its own personality and we make friends with some more than others. During a recent journey through Spain, I met Seville, Cordoba, Madrid, and Barcelona.

Italy consistently ranks among the top travel lists of globetrotters and it’s not hard to see why. The endless pursuit of “La Dolce Vita”…perfectly sun-ripened sweet tomatoes, soft white mozzarella cheese, and lazy, wine soaked lunches. The country that resembles a boot has an abundance of culture, charm, and history making it not just a “one and done” travel proposition, but a country that beckons for many a return visit.

We all go through life seeking out that one destination that will leave you breathless, the one that will check all of your lifetime boxes, the one that will make you feel completely removed from the world, the one that will entice all of your senses, and the one remote island destination that you will long to come back to time and time again. Meet The Brando, Tahiti’s first ‘ultra inclusive resort’ on the Tetiaroa Atoll.
