Culinary Adventures to Savor
Europe has been home to some of the world’s most influential civilisations, the cultures of which have been passed down through the generations. For your next vacation, I’m sharing “gastronomic cities” that are celebrated around the world for their tried-and-true cultural recipes and bold flavours. If you’ve been craving a new culinary adventure, look no further than these beloved European cities. With centuries worth of rich history, culture and traditions, each destination offers its own unique flavours and gastronomical experiences. From modern Michelin-starred restaurants to traditional dishes, cuisine in these cities will grab at your heartstrings. From Michelin-starred eateries serving traditional Danish cuisine to craft beer bars showcasing the New Nordic tradition, visitors can explore an array of culinary experiences in Copenhagen. At the heart of the city lies its traditional pubs that serve renowned seafood dishes, including smoked fish and pickled herring. You’ll also find smørrebrød (open-faced sandwiches) and kanelsnegle (Danish cinnamon rolls). With a growing gastronomical scene, Biarritz is a must-visit. This resort town on the Bay of Biscay was once home to Napolean III and his wife, Empress Eugénie de Montijo. Biarritz is a must-visit for its seafood; the restaurants in the port serve fresh just-off-the-boat fish, oysters and crabs, as well as other classic dishes from the Basque cuisine. And, you just can’t beat the combination of a coastal sunset with a glass of French wine. With influences from Italy, the Balkans and the Mediterranean, Dubrovnik will tantalize your palate with its array of traditional dishes and fresh seafood. A visit to one of the city’s food markets or local restaurants provides the opportunity to sample Dalmatian recipes, many of which have been passed down through generations.

Celebrating Eco-friendly Travel
In light of Earth Day over the weekend, I’ve been reflecting on ways we can all become more Earth-conscious travellers throughout the year. Fortunately, sustainability has become a driving force for the way resorts, restaurants and even airlines are improving their practices. Whether the beaches of Florida or the fine dining of Europe is calling your name, I’m sharing plenty of exciting travel ideas on my radar — and ways to elevate your trip sustainably. The future of planet-friendly travel has every opportunity to be bright, as hotels, airlines and destinations tap into new technologies and practices. Many studies suggest cost and knowledge are the main barriers that prevent people from making more responsible travel decisions. But with the right information and an allied advisor in your corner, choosing responsible travel decisions can actually enhance your next vacation. When we work together, you’ll have a wealth of professional insights at your disposal. Ask me about luxury brands that share your commitment to sustainability and we can make adjustments based on your values. You may find it interesting to see how well you’re travelling sustainably; try calculating your carbon footprint. I partner with Sustainable Travel International so you’ll have the option to make a 1% contribution that partially offsets your carbon emissions. Talking about sustainable travel with friends, family and colleagues can be one of the biggest conduits to change. Share your favourite tips, eco-friendly resorts and best practices. And, you can lean on me as an ally to navigate the world sustainably. Let’s be honest — sustainable ingredients just taste better. It’s why “farm-to-table” is no longer a niche concept, and why connoisseurs travel for eco-friendly dishes. Restaurants around Europe are sourcing sustainable seafood, and these restaurants take the concept to a level we can all appreciate. APONIENTE, EL PUERTO DE SANTA MARÍA, SPAIN Situated in a 19th-century tidal mill inhabited by myriad species, Aponiente is a seafood lover’s paradise. Ángel León, fisherman-chef, serves two tasting menus showcasing the freshest, most sustainable ocean produce, including fiddler crab, albacore, plankton and goose barnacle. THE PEARLS OF MONTE-CARLO, PORT DE FONTVIEILLE, MONACO Tucked away at the end of the pier in Port de Fontvieille, “Les Perles de Monte-Carlo” is an oyster bar that offers seafood directly from its park. Launched by two certified biologists, this casual yet enticing restaurant has become a favourite sustainable hangout for locals and visitors alike. KØDBYENS FISKEBAR, COPENHAGEN, DENMARK Visitors rave about this restaurant’s fresh seafood, easy-drinking wines and delicious cocktails — all set in the rustic setting of Copenhagen’s Meatpacking District. Kødbyens Fiskebar boasts its commitment to local and sustainable products, as well as retailers who share the same values. Experience the best of the Sunshine State at Four Seasons in Orlando, Palm Beach, Surfside, Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Each of Florida’s renowned Four Seasons hotels and resorts are committed to preserving and regenerating the environment and leaving a positive, enduring impact on our local communities. Dine at Palm Beach’s flagship restaurant Florie’s, which focuses on nature-driven cuisine by using the freshest hand-picked ingredients including herbs from an on-site garden. In Orlando, experience the Tranquilo Golf Course at Four Seasons Golf and Sports Club Orlando which is certified by the National Audubon Society as a wildlife sanctuary. Lastly, when in Miami, Surfside or Fort Lauderdale, engage in educational tours at local, natural, cultural, historical or heritage sites to learn more about the local community. When travel advisors guide your vacation, we seek out sustainable options, leveraging expertise and resources to identify resort properties that complement your values. I can recommend hotels and dining experiences that prioritize sustainability practices, such as reducing their carbon footprint, conserving water, supporting local communities and minimizing waste. Additionally, many airlines are increasingly aware of the importance of sustainability and take steps to reduce their environmental impact. I’d love to hear about the causes and factors you care about most, so we can book your getaway with confidence.SPARKING SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL
