We interviewed Suzanne Setlak of Travelex Insurance Services in 2020, at the height of the Covid pandemic, to demystify travel insurance. We tackled all the elements of this important topic in bite-sized videos (because the only way we were going to read about insurance was if we ran out of Ambien!). Suzanne says, “I would never leave the U.S. without travel insurance.” Watch these short, informative pieces to find out why.

Flying private has long been viewed as the apex of posh living and can seem like an out-of-reach indulgence. But if you think social distancing at thirty-five thousand feet requires access to your own personal Gulfstream, think again. Here’s a primer on private aviation with our preferred supplier that includes information on price points and explores the services available in the most “ultra” of luxury modes of travel.

In 2022, I went with nationally renowned photographer Michael S. Miller and five other professional photographers to Yellowstone National Park. While there, we tracked wolves and other wildlife, capturing their images in this exquisite and enchanting winter wonderland. (A big thank-you to Michael for taking the few shots of me seen in this video.)
My parents had planned to take a Nile River cruise similar to this one. The cruise was delayed due to the “Arab Spring” of 2011 and not rescheduled. Mom died suddenly in May of 2018. She doesn’t know that I retired from Wall Street after twenty years or that I started a luxury travel advisor business, but I do think she was with Dad and me, smiling, as we embarked on our trip to Egypt together in October 2021.
Did you know that only one hundred people can go ashore in Antarctica at a time? Did you know that luxury cruise lines probably only make one landing a day and carry anywhere from two to three hundred passengers? This means that on a luxury cruise line you have, at best, a 50% chance of going ashore on a given day. I flew the twenty-four-plus hours to get to Ushuaia, Argentina, to meet Aurora Expeditions’s newest vessel, the Sylvia Earle, and then braved the Drake Passage for a few cold days days this past December. I would have lost my mind if, after all that, I had been restricted from going ashore. An Opulent Explorer travel advisor can keep you from being left behind.
Wanna know how to get the kids to put their phones down? Take a game drive and put a rhino in front of them! Or float in a hot air balloon over a massive herd of animals. Or watch elephants crossing the mighty Zambezi River just above Victoria Falls.
In 2020, we visited Serengeti National Park, one of the oldest ecosystems on earth and Africa’s top World Heritage site, to watch the great annual migration of wildebeests (and zebras, gazelles, elands, and impalas) making their thunderous way across the Serengeti plain.
