JOURNAL
From Antarctica to Africa, Egypt to Ecuador, Japan to Jordan, the WhirlAway team has taken educational trips to more than 30 continents and countries, cruised with more than a dozen river and ocean lines, toured hundreds of hotels, and spent countless hours exploring the places our clients want to travel.
As Greece seems to once again headline our summer travel conversations, one question remains: Where should you stay?
Since 2022, WhirlAway Travel’s Anna Dunleavy has been crafting epic getaways for the Creed family—each one more personalized than the last.
Grand Slam tournaments are the crown jewels of tennis—and notoriously elusive to access. Tickets disappear instantly, VIP passes are closely guarded, and logistics can be overwhelming. That’s where WhirlAway comes in—with guaranteed seats, exclusive perks, and insider access to the world’s most prestigious matches.
There’s something extra meaningful about pairing a dream destination with a milestone moment. For WhirlAway’s Denise Booth, that meant finally experiencing Australia alongside her son as they celebrated his graduation from medical school.
For the fifth year in a row, WhirlAway Travel’s Jamie Jones has been named a Condé Nast Traveler Top Travel Specialist—a prestigious honor reserved for advisors with extensive expertise, trusted global connections, and a deep understanding of how to craft truly tailored journeys. It’s a distinction she’s earned through her focus on African safaris and her ability to create meaningful, insider experiences. Jamie’s philosophy is simple: “I have always believed that travel is essential for the future of our world. It connects us to nature, to different cultures, and most importantly to one another.” That approach comes to life on every African safari she curates. And that’s just one reason why she’s so exceptional at what she does. 1. She Knows Safaris Inside & Out Jamie has traveled to Africa more than 15 times over the past 12 years, earning her Signature Travel Network’s Select Safari Specialist designation—an exclusive recognition for highly vetted advisors with “feet on the ground” knowledge and proven expertise in creating luxury, customized African safaris. For Jamie, it’s about so much more than the wildlife: “I continually return because of the people I have met, friendships created, cultures I have learned from, and the peace that fills my soul with every journey.” And through WhirlAway’s Africa Apprentice Program, Jamie also helps train the next generation of safari specialists, providing extensive education and hands-on experience in planning these journeys, ensuring every client benefits from a highly personalized approach.
Multi-generational travel is booming—and it’s easy to see why. Families are seeking curated journeys where every generation—from grandparents to grandchildren—can experience the world together, yet on their own terms. At WhirlAway Travel, that means private excursions, seamless logistics, and experiences that let everyone focus on what matters: connection. Denise Booth is one of WhirlAway’s multi-gen travel experts. She leverages her insider access and relationships with global partners to create itineraries perfectly suited for every age and interest. “Travel does not have to be all or nothing,” she says. “We craft experiences that can be enjoyed by each person, from modified activities or alternatives for those who cannot participate.” Here are three recent journeys planned by Denise and the WhirlAway team.
Why Japan & Why Now The neon-lit energy of Tokyo, the zen temples of Kyoto, and the restorative calm of mountain onsen towns define this unique journey across time. “It’s a place that feels both ancient and futuristic at once,” Stacey says. Japan also rewards travelers who slow down. For Stacey, early mornings—what the Japanese call the “blue hour”—were especially poignant. Known as the time just before sunrise or after sunset when the sky turns a deep indigo, the serene, otherworldly atmosphere is the perfect window for photography in cities like Tokyo and Kyoto, capturing the magical light over temple roofs, as locals cycle along rivers, and as shops open their doors. To fully appreciate Japan’s diversity, Stacey recommends giving yourself at least 10 days in the destination (plus two days of travel) and visiting three distinct regions. Stacey’s Takeaway: “Japan is not a place you try to see it all in one trip. It’s somewhere you’ll want to return to again and again.”
No summer travel plans yet? Consider this your fast track to an experience that ticks all the boxes for value, ease, culture, scenery, and laid-back luxury. What: A seven-night Mediterranean cruise aboard Silver Nova with Silversea and Signature Travel Network. Where: Roundtrip from Athens, visiting seven ports throughout Greece and Turkey. When: August 16-23, 2026. Why: It’s a remarkable blend of epic history, island charm, and elegant cruising. You’ll visit spots that feel straight out of a postcard, from the delightful seaside town of Gythion and the Olympic roots of Katakolon to Santorini’s bucket-list sunsets and the lively markets of Bodrum. Onboard, the suites are beautifully spacious, the butler service is effortlessly attentive, and the all-inclusive approach is indulgent yet smart, inviting you to savor the experience without a second thought. Yes, please!
Recently back from an immersive journey through Verona, Venice, and Trieste, WhirlAway’s Sara Samuel discovered a trio of destinations that feel worlds apart yet effortlessly connected. From Shakespearean streets and quaint canals to culture shaped by shifting borders, this is Italy beyond the expected.
Why stay home for the holidays when you can discover chocolate, castles, and Christmas decorations across Europe? That’s just what WhirlAway’s Jamie Jones had in mind when she took her family on a holiday river trip through Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Brussels, and Antwerp. Here’s what happened along the way.
If “someday” is starting to sound suspiciously like “never,” this is your sign. From polar ice to private yachts, safaris to southern skies, these six monumental journeys are proof that the best trips happen when they’re meticulously planned with insider expertise.
Nestled in the heel of Italy, these spots have long been Italian favorites and are now drawing travelers from around the world. But visit in the fall or winter, and it still feels like you have them all to yourself. Sara says it was nearly impossible to choose favorites—and she could easily share dozens more—but here are the places and experiences she loved most.
In 2025, WhirlAway planned dozens of amazing vacations for the holiday season, and we’re sharing a few of our favorites. Consider this your cheat sheet to the dreamiest destinations, including a sun-kissed sojourn to Costa Rica, a multi-gen escape to South Africa, an Antarctica cruise, and the best of Turks and Caicos, and London. Happy holidays, and even happier travels!
What makes the Cycladic Islands feel so singular? For Luxury Travel Advisor Denise Booth, it’s the blend of warm hospitality, luminous landscapes, and quietly luxurious living. Fresh off her journey through Naxos, Paros, and the Athenian Riviera, she shares three experiences that showcase Greece beyond the guidebooks—intimate, delicious, and endlessly photogenic.
Luxury Travel Advisor Stacey Blum is our expert in all things wellness. Before joining the WhirlAway team, she worked as a health coach and is now a Signature Travel Expert Select in Wellness. And her favorite destination for wellness, in every sense of the word, is Greece. While she’s visited the country three times (and counting), she’s planned so many trips for clients that she says it feels like she’s been there dozens of times: This past summer alone, she curated 12 different trips! “Every part of Greece—the food, the water, the people—invites you to take a deep breath and just be,” she says. “You come here for a break, but you leave with a lighter heart, a clearer mind, and a deeper sense of gratitude.” Here, Stacey shares how the beautiful country is a master in the art of slowing down.
On the eve of her retirement party, Patty Jefferis, founder of WhirlAway Travel, is reflecting on her most recent adventure: a voyage through the Eastern Mediterranean with Tauck. After spending the past 40 years curating journeys for clients, this adventure was all her own. Aboard Le Bougainville , a sleek Ponant yacht chartered exclusively by Tauck, she explored Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, and Malta. Read on for all her dreamy moments.
Forty incredible years, 110 inspiring guests, one newly christened retiree, and countless magical moments. Such was the scene at WhirlAway Travel’s sparkling party at Radnor Hunt in Malvern, Pennsylvania. Suppliers, clients, friends, and family gathered with the WhirlAway team for cocktails, dinner, and a live auction. Up for bid was a pair of coveted cruises donated by AmaWaterways and Explora Journeys, raising $16,000 for the Travel Elevates foundation. The unforgettable evening ended with toasts to WhirlAway’s founder Patty Jefferis as she embarks on her next great adventure of retirement. “It was a celebration filled with heartfelt stories, inspiration, and gratitude for a true trailblazer,” said Jody Rollins, a longtime friend and client of WhirlAway. “Patty is a true legacy of leadership, innovation, and connection.”
“What did you do for summer vacation?” With back-to-school and back-to-business in full swing, this seems to be a favorite conversation starter in September. In celebration of our clients’ favorite trips (and there were many!), we’ve created a highlight reel so you can begin dreaming and planning your ultimate 2026 summer vacation.
More than keeping score, golf is about the stories: the putt sunk against a backdrop of crashing waves, a winning moment at sunset, the shared adventure that bonds a group for life. For WhirlAway Travel, these moments are at the heart of curated golf vacations. As a Luxury Travel Advisor, Alison Warner specializes in golf vacations. Here, she shares five reasons why you should start planning your next golf escape.
Over six packed days, they went fly fishing, biked mountain trails, raced UTVs, and rappelled through canyons—all at Zayne’s direction. He planned the itinerary (nonstop action), curated the meals (burgers and sushi, please), and even selected their rental car: a white Ford Mustang. They spent the first four nights in the luxe comfort of Montage Deer Valley, then roadtripped to Zion and glamped for two nights at Under Canvas Zion. Here, Jamie and Zayne share their favorite moments, their biggest laughs, and why mother-son travel just might be the ultimate bonding experience.
1. Do listen to your guide. Your safari guide is basically a wilderness wizard. If they say “stay in the vehicle,” this is not the time for a TikTok dance in front of a lion. Guides have years of training, they know the behavior of animals intimately, and they know how to reverse a Land Rover faster than you can say, “Is that a leopard?” >>Don’t run. Ever. You are not faster than a lion. You are not faster than a zebra. Honestly, you are probably not even faster than a warthog. Running triggers a predator response. Translation: You could go from tourist with binoculars to buffet item in three seconds flat. This is a hard no.
Everyone talks about going on safari. But not everyone tells you how it feels—to experience a languid afternoon with winemakers who forgo the norm, to watch a lioness cradle her cub across the plains, to luxuriate in a Versace-drenched suite in the Winelands where the bathtub rivals the size of a Manhattan studio. WhirlAway’s Stacey Blum (whose job is to vet the best of the best) recently spent two weeks on an indelible journey through South Africa with Abercrombie & Kent. She discovered a symphony of wow factors—equal parts city, bush, and bliss. These five moments rose to the top as her most exclusive, most unexpected, and most unforgettable.
A land where empires rose and fell, Turkey is capturing the attention of the world’s most discerning travelers. What to expect? Quiet luxury, epicurean surprises, and indelible landscapes that stretch from the Aegean coast to Cappadocia's sculpted valleys. Michelin stars are landing in Istanbul, new yacht marinas sparkle along the Turquoise Coast, and restored Ottoman mansions offer world-class hospitality with a sense of place. Offering authenticity without sacrificing elegance, Turkey delivers both. Now is the moment to go—after just returning from her recent trip, WhirlAway Travel Luxury Advisor Anna Dunleavy lists 10 reasons to say YES to this enchanting country.
1. A VIP visit to the Colonna Palace in Rome “It was completely closed to the public when we visited. They rarely do this level of private tour so it was truly a unique experience that no one can just click and book. It was extraordinary—we were literally invited into the home of Prince Prospero Colonna. We walked through room after room after room and not only got an art history lesson, but also learned about the history of the family. It was mind blowing, magical, and profoundly moving being surrounded by priceless works of art and Baroque masterpieces, exploring opulent galleries and salons, serene gardens, and discovering the Colonna family’s legacy—and having it all to ourselves! I don’t know a lot about art and our guide was able to speak to my level and also to someone who was a major art lover. It ended up being a bucket-list experience for me.”
The backstory: Her grandfather was a wholesale flower grower in Southeastern Pennsylvania and her dad grew up working in his greenhouses. Years later, Sara and her sister often rode along on deliveries, helping load and unload flats of flowers. Their grandfather received his bulbs from a man they called “the Dutchman,” whose shipments sometimes came packed along with a special pair of wooden shoes (Sara still has hers). Later in life, her father dreamed of visiting the Netherlands during “tulip time” with his two daughters. In April, they made it a reality with a next-level trip and customized itinerary featuring a deep dive into the flower business during peak bloom. Here, Sara shares her insider tips for taking it all in.
In February, WhirlAway’s Stacey Blum spent three nights at this all-inclusive guest ranch with a group of fellow travel advisors, where they played, relaxed, wined, and dined. The 6,600-acre property, which has been a working ranch since the 1800s, features dozens of fun and authentic activities that vary with the season, each one customized to the traveler’s skill level. Stacey chose to go cross-country skiing and snowmobiling one day, and sapphire mining and horseback riding the next. Oregon-based Purple Hands winery was on site during her stay, pairing wines with a six-course meal, and offering special tastings alongside ice skating, picnics, and campfires. Here, she shares her experience.
Spring has sprung, which means so has our wanderlust. (Then again, that’s our year-round state of mind here at WhirlAway!) So, where are our luxury clients escaping to in April? Europe, for starters. South Africa is also a spring favorite, as it’s beginning to cool down there as the region heads into its fall season. Here, some from-the-field inspiration on where we like-minded travelers are headed.
What’s a quick, easy, and incredibly relaxing way to escape the winter doldrums? For WhirlAway’s Rachel Pentz and Amy Smolders, that answer came in a three-night sail on The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection’s Ilma—perhaps the most luxurious super-yacht there ever was.
The freedom to do anything you want, whenever you want? No wonder solo travel is on the rise! Here, a few of our favorite places to visit for unfettered me-time.
Let’s celebrate Valentine’s Day with some travel love. It’s never easy playing favorites, but we did it anyway! Here, seven of our most cherished places on earth.
With every new year, our clients ask us to share our favorite destinations. While the list is continually evolving, here is WhirlAway Travel’s top six tried-and-trending places to visit in 2025.
Celebration trips, specifically graduation, are an excellent way to bond with your graduate before you set them off to the world. Families are saving the big trips - African safari, Galapagos, Alaska, Europe - to celebrate the end of one chapter and the beginning of the next for both the graduates and the parents. Our team likes to start the graduation celebration trip early with our clients - most when their graduate is in 9th grade. It may feel like the cap and gown is ages away but the years go by fast! Following are 5 things to consider so that you and your graduate have the best experience possible.

This is a different way to do summer. 🌲 While everyone else is fighting for a sun lounger, Muskoka’s regulars are already on the dock with a cocktail in hand and the lake entirely to themselves. Private estates on Lake Rosseau and Lake Joseph come with their own boathouses, their own chefs, and their own summer experience that’s unlike all the rest.

Welcome to WhirlAway Travel, @meaghankarney 👋 We are so excited to introduce Meaghan as our newest Luxury Travel Coordinator!
🌍 Meaghan’s love for travel started with a study abroad trip to South Africa her sophomore year of college, and she never looked back. By age 24, she had already hit all 7 continents, including South America and Antarctica!
🐧 One of her favorite travel memories? Hiking through the Antarctic wilderness and listening to the silly sounds of curious penguins while taking in some of the most breathtaking scenery on earth.
🦅 Dream destination? Mongolia. She’s been fascinated by the eagle hunters for years and has her heart set on the Golden Eagle Festival.
🇦🇺 After college, Meaghan packed up and moved to Melbourne, Australia, to work as an au pair, spending her free time bouncing between Australia and New Zealand—her favorite place in the world.
✨ How does Meaghan define exceptional service? “Anticipation. It’s solving a problem before the traveler even knows it exists. Whether that’s knowing which side of the train has the best views or making sure there’s a cold drink waiting after a long flight.”

Hello 2026!👋 Rounding out where WhirlAway clients went this holiday season with one of our absolute favorite places, South Africa 🇿🇦
We helped plan a multi-generational group vacation for 10 travelers, including grandparents and kids ranging from 10-18! 🐘
☑️ Client Wish List: One of the daughters follows the @themotherchic on Instagram and was interested in a similar safari experience, so she referred her parents to WhirlAway. Comfort, safety, and excellent wildlife viewing were important, as were five-star accommodations.🙌
✈️ Where To: South Africa, including a boutique hotel buy-out in Cape Town; @tswalu at Tarkuni villa; and a final stay at Waterside @royalmalewane in Thornybush Private Game Reserve to witness the Big 5. The itinerary was the perfect mix of city and safari, with exclusivity emphasized throughout. 🦁
✨ The Why: South Africa is the perfect country to experience as a family. There’s something for everyone, and for grandparents to experience the wonder and awe of safari with their grandkids is truly special. South Africa is also relatively easy to get to, while traveling within the country is also easy. WhirlAway is best known as safari experts, with nearly 20 visits collectively by the team. We know how to execute the trip of a lifetime! 🦒
#multigenerationaltravel #luxurysafari #luxurysafariexperience #luxurytraveladvisor #luxurytravelexperience
2025 was one wonderful ride! ✨ 2026, let’s do it again! ✈️ See you next year!

POV: You let WhirlAway plan a tropical post-holiday escape to Turks & Caicos for you and family of 6! 🏝️
☑️ Client Wish List: Warm and relaxing was the order of the day, but with active pursuits (hiking, boating, water sports) on tap, too. Additionally, they wanted to stay in a house rather than a hotel.
⛱️ Where: They landed on Turks & Caicos because it allowed for a non-stop flight, a private home stay, plus beautiful beaches. Villa Alexis on Chalk Sound was just what they were looking for.
✨ The Why: This family had worked with WhirlAway previously on a family trip, and were confident in a seamless travel experience. They wanted an island that was easy to navigate, and with plenty of dining options. They knew WhirlAway would know how to match what they were looking for in both a destination and accommodation.
Connect with WhirlAway to start planning your December 2026 escape today! ✈️

Santa is almost here! 🎅 Our WhirlAway clients asked for an Antarctica Cruise! 🚢
☑️Client Wish List: They always wanted to experience Antarctica, and initially, began planning the trip on their own. They decided to work with WhirlAway for more insider knowledge and expertise in the area.
❄️ Where To: The proverbial “polar plunge,” cruising south with Abercrombie & Kent. Not your typical Antarctic cruise, this experience involved venturing off the beaten path, with visits to South Georgia and the Falkland Islands.
✨ The Why: Antarctica topped this adventurous couple’s lifelong bucket list!
#antartica #antarticacruise #luxurytraveladvisor #luxurytravelexperience
London was calling for our WhirlAway clients this holiday season!💂
Get in the festive spirit with this merry and bright itinerary for a family of four!
☑️ Client Wish List: They requested a short-notice trip to London during Festive season (after Christmas). They wanted to see the typical sites, but with expert local guides who could share authentic stories and lesser-known bits of history. The Churchill War Rooms, “Behind The Glass” (live performers placed inside window-style displays), and a walking food tour of Spitalfields Market were trip highlights.
✈️ Where: Central London—a safe, walkable location where the kids could explore on their own. WhirlAway recommended a five-star, luxury boutique hotel for its charm, location, excellent daily breakfast (included, thanks to WhirlAway’s Signature Travel Network partnership), and commitment to exceptional service. They stayed in a two-bedroom suite and were amazed by how special the entire staff made them feel.
✨ The Why: The parents wanted to give the kids a memorable introduction to Europe, starting with London. They found it daunting to plan a short-notice getaway, especially during Festive season, and wanted to make the most of their vacation together. They had never used a travel advisor before and were thrilled to have everything planned for them (hotel, transfers, private guides, insurance, etc). They said their entire experience, from initial consultation to their private transfer home from the US airport, exceeded their expectations. WhirlAway is currently planning their next big family adventure to Italy! 🇮🇹

Where are WhirlAway clients this holiday season? Costa Rica! 🌊
Get inspired by the itinerary we planned for a mom and her two teens!
☑️ Client Wish List: A warm-weather destination offering nature, adventure, wildlife, and a sense of culture.
✈️ Where To: They chose Costa Rica because it checked all the boxes. Wanting a mixture of different experiences, hotels, and geography, WhirlAway selected three unique Costa Rica stays: 1) @pacuarelodgecr known for its immersive rainforest experience, Indigenous cultural experience, waterfall hikes, and amazing white-water rafting. 2) @altagraciaauberge - an Auberge Property and luxury retreat set on a 180-acre estate with the perfect blend of nature, equestrian experiences, and world-class spa treatments. 3) @arenasdelmarcr - a luxury eco-resort that combines rainforest and beach. It’s also excellent for wildlife viewing, relaxation, and adventure. Located on the Edge of Manual Antonio National Park, it offers a catamaran and snorkeling tour, the private Manuel Antonio National Park Tour, hiking, wildlife, and private surfing lessons.
✨ The Why: The mother chose to work with WhirlAway for one very simple reason: “You know what we like!” she said.

Welcome to WhirlAway Travel, @kristintewhill 👋 We are thrilled to introduce Kristin as our newest Luxury Travel Coordinator!
🇳🇴 Growing up, she spent her summers in Norway with her mom. Fun Fact: Tom Cruise chose Norway for TWO Mission Impossible movies - and she’s hiked the mountain, Preikestolen, featured in Fallout!
🐉 One of Kristin’s favorite travel memories was the first time her husband met her Norwegian family - in Scotland, after 30 hours of travel. He threw on a Lochness Monster hat to make the kids laugh, and he’s been Uncle Nessi ever since!
🎰 Kristin is a huge Elvis fan! She did “Aloha in Hawaii” for Halloween as a kid, and even visited Elvis’s childhood home in Tupelo, Mississippi.
🇮🇹 Dream Destination: Sicily, for the food!
✨ How does Kristin define exceptional service? “Exceptional service means truly going above and beyond, not because it’s the rule, but because of truly caring. Trying to anticipate then fix a problem before the client knows it happened.”

An Adventure of a Lifetime ⛩️✨ If you’re dreaming of a trip to Japan or Patagonia, now is the time to check it off your bucket list!
Abercrombie & Kent is offering some spectacular savings to both regions, but you must book by October 31st! 🗓️
🍣 Japan is becoming an increasingly popular destination for WhirlAway clients: The history is epic, the modern technology is jaw-dropping, the food is incredible, and figuring it all out by yourself is … challenging. A small-group journey with Abercrombie & Kent takes travelers (no more than 18 people) through Tokyo, Hakone, Osaka, Nara, and Kyoto over nine days—with an English-speaking tour director and local guides accompanying you every step of the way.
🌄 Meanwhile, Patagonia is a personal favorite of several of us at WhirlAway. The scenery is absolutely stunning and it’s the perfect escape for active travelers—especially families with teenagers. Abercrombie & Kent’s Patagonia journey is also for small groups and comes with a knowledgeable director and expert guides, so you can focus on adventure without worrying about logistics.
Reach out to your WhirlAway Advisor today to lock in the adventure of a lifetime with @abercrombiekent in 2026. 🌎🙌

Welcome to WhirlAway Travel, @mary_whirlaway 👏 We are thrilled to introduce Mary as our newest Luxury Travel Advisor.
🌎 She has been to Italy, France, Switzerland, Egypt, Poland, Germany, and Monaco!
🍕 Favorite food: Pizza…still on the hunt for the best around the world!
✨ Dream Destination: “Greece is one of my dream destinations because I’ve always thought of it as timeless and magical. It’s a place where ancient history meets endless crystal blue seas and where sunsets must feel like they are painted just for you. I imagine it’s a place where you can lose yourself in the beauty of the islands that feel untouched by time, a place where elegance meets refined simplicity. And, I imagine it to be the kind of place that dares you to be free, to get lost and to live boldly!”
✈️ Why work with Mary? She is fueled by an insatiable curiosity and approaches curating luxury journeys for her clients like putting together an intricate puzzle: each element (destinations, experiences, logistics etc) is a piece that must fit perfectly, carefully placed where every moment aligns, creating a masterpiece designed just for you! 🫶

NEW on the WhirlAway Journal 🏔️ Why you should take a Mother-Son trip to Utah!
When WhirlAway Travel’s Jamie Jones and her 12-year-old son Zayne set off for a summer adventure in Utah, it wasn’t just a vacation—it was a series of unforgettable firsts.✨
🎣 Over six packed days, they went fly fishing, biked mountain trails, raced UTVs, and rappelled through canyons—all at Zayne’s direction.
🍣 He planned the itinerary (nonstop action), curated the meals (burgers and sushi, please), and even selected their rental car: a white Ford Mustang.
⛺️ They spent the first four nights in the luxe comfort of @montagedeervalley then roadtripped to Zion and glamped for two nights at @undercanvasofficial in Zion. Here, Jamie and Zayne share their favorite moments, their biggest laughs, and why mother-son travel just might be the ultimate bonding experience.
