We can’t travel right now, but we can keep on dreaming.
(Or as I like to call it, PLANNING!)
While we are staying safe at home, it doesn’t mean we can’t take a virtual vacation on YouTube!
I don’t know about you, but even though I’m working from home, I find that I have a LOT more time on my hands right now. I’ve been looking for creative ways to fill it and not feel like my brain is oozing out of my ears at the same time. I’ve been baking bread (or trying to anyway) like everyone else on the entire planet seems to be! But one other thing that I’ve found comforting is researching destinations, partly to learn more as a travel professional and partly for absolute enjoyment. In my research, I’ve found that some of my favorite places have FANTASTIC YouTube channels! So I’m sharing a few with you here. I am pleased to say that I am directly affiliated with each of these internationally renowned hospitality groups.
So when you are ready to go, I’m ready to help you get there!
If you’re already dreaming about (I mean PLANNING!) your next vacation, contact me now with your ideas. I’ll get my planning wheels turning to begin making your next vacation experience your best one yet (as soon as it’s safe to do so.)

SANDALS RESORTS
First on my own mind is the gorgeous Sandals Resorts for couples. They epitomize 5-star luxury in an all-inclusive package that considers everything you could possibly think of—English Butlers, Rolls Royce transfers, 5-star dining and impossibly beautiful locations. Sign up for their YouTube Channel HERE. And watch the video below for a relaxing, luxurious virtual Sandals Vacation.

BEACHES RESORTS
As a part of Sandals Resorts Group, Beaches Resorts are for Families. They provide an all-inclusive experience in gorgeous and relaxed settings with exciting and fun activities for your entire family, no matter their ages. Beaches Resorts have everything from water parks to kids camps to teen night clubs. You can do as much or as little as you want while you enjoy the white sand beaches of the Caribbean and wonderful gourmet cuisine (with kids’ options, of course!) Browse their YouTube channel HERE. And watch below for a fabulous virtual family getaway.

BELMOND GROUP
I’ve saved my personal favorite for last. Belmond. I cannot say enough good things about them. They define luxury experience at its very finest and I am proud to be affiliated with them. From the stunning Belmond Hotel Cipriani in Venice to the Venice-Simplon-Orient Express to exotic hotel locations, river cruises and African safaris, Belmond has a luxury experience to suit the tastes of any refined traveler.
I’ll share a personal bucket list item with you—the Venice-Simplon-Orient Express. This is surely the stuff of dreams, but soon we can make it a reality again. You can find the Belmond YouTube channel HERE. And please see below for a stunning virtual tour of the impeccable Orient Express.

While we are staying safe at home, it doesn’t mean we can’t take a virtual vacation on YouTube! Now that you’ve had the opportunity to do it, tell me YOUR dream destination. Where do you want to go next? Leave your comment below!
