A 38-Day, 6-Country Dream: Our Clients’ Journey Across Europe & Africa

Imagine tracing the golden cliffs of Portugal’s coast, laughing from a sidecar in Marrakech, and locking eyes with a gorilla deep in the jungles of Rwanda. Picture drifting down the Nile at sunset, hearing lions roar in the dark, and dining atop a cliff in the Seychelles under a sky full of stars. For our clients Scott and Ann, this wasn’t a fantasy, it was their 38-day, once-in-a-lifetime journey through Portugal, Morocco, Egypt, Rwanda, South Africa, and the Seychelles. Each destination delivered something new: awe, exhilaration, serenity, surprise. Come along for a glimpse into their incredible adventure, crafted with care by Next Travel.

Beyond the Vines: Bordeaux’s Châteaux and the Legends Within

I embarked on a truly unforgettable voyage with Avalon Waterways through the heart of southwest France on their Bonjour Bordeaux: Châteaux, Wineries & Charming Villages river cruise. Winding along the scenic Garonne and Dordogne Rivers, this immersive journey offered a rich tapestry of French culture, centuries-old wine traditions, and postcard-perfect villages. From exploring grand châteaux and world-class vineyards to strolling cobbled streets in medieval towns, every moment blended history, education, and indulgence. Whether sipping a bold red in Saint-Émilion or marveling at the architecture of Bordeaux’s riverfront, this cruise was a deep dive into the region’s charm, elegance, and enduring legacy.

The South of France and the French Riviera in Style

Many people are familiar with Paris, Normandy, and Versailles, but the South of France is a paradise for foodies, wine-lovers, history buffs, and anyone who loves sunshine.  The region stretches from the Spanish border to the Italian coast and offers a spectrum of cultural and culinary experiences. Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to travel in luxury from Marseilles to the French Riviera with Titanium Tours, experiencing an intimate look at some of France’s most captivating regions. Here’s a peek into this unforgettable journey and why the South of France should be firmly on your travel radar.
