A Sumptuous Stay at Sensei Porcupine Creek

My partner and I celebrated our recent engagement with a city break in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Originally a laid-back hippie town, Tulum has fast become a go-to destination for more than just bohemians. Celebrities have flocked to the resort-lined jungle on the Caribbean coast, while the wild beach clubs and restaurants are now a huge draw for partygoers. 

As the world’s second-largest country by land mass, Canada abound with things to do and places to see for all types of travelers.

Sleeping on a bed made from ice, surrounded by walls made from ice, within a building made from ice, had been on my bucket list for years. I'm what you might call a snow tourist, a habit that started while I was living in the Middle East, where it never snows — back then, the ski slopes inside shopping malls just didn't cut it.

This year, more and more people are prioritizing spending money on trips instead of going out with friends — and, with that, visiting dream destinations and soaking in one-of-a-kind experiences are top of mind.

If you're tuning into Hulu's "Vanderpump Villa," the latest reality show centered on one of Lisa Vanderpump's businesses, you know there's no shortage of drama among the beautiful and chaotic staff at Château Rosabelle.

Easily reached by ferry from its famous island neighbors and a quick 40-minute flight from Athens, the Greek island of Paros has been a relatively secret retreat for those in the know. But in the last few years, fashionistas and the rich and famous started visiting its lovely beaches and bougainvillea-covered fishing villages, and the island quickly became the chilled-out alternative to Mykonos and Santorini.

Ericeira may be famous as Portugal’s capital of waves—it was the second place to be named a World Surfing Reserve and is still the only one in Europe—but it’s plenty appealing beyond the ocean too. Less than an hour from Lisbon, it has beautiful beaches, windswept cliffs and a charming historic center, plus a vibrant international community. Yes, there are surf-town staples like acai bars and hostels flaunting their board storage, but there’s also plenty of destination dining and some five-star hotels that are worth an overnight or more.

As a travel writer, I spend a lot of time in other people's beds. While that statement is not nearly as salacious as it sounds, the reality of being on the road half the year is that I fall asleep on hotel, Airbnb, and friends' guest room mattresses just as often as I do my own. And lucky for me, I'm often checking in to five-star properties outfitted with the cushiest bedscapes. Over the years, I've developed a habit of pulling up the sheets on the most comfortable mattresses to get a peek at their label. All of this experience has made me a bit of an expert at judging what makes a genuinely superior one, which recently came in handy when my husband and I purchased a new home and needed to furnish it virtually from scratch.
