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.

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.”

Over six packed days, they went fly fishing, biked mountain trails, raced UTVs, and rappelled through canyons—all at Zayne’s direction.
