This includes exclusivity, privacy, and everything from relaxation to adventure, with pampering and extras, the best of the best: intimate experiences, private plane, personalized services, gourmet meals, and beautiful surroundings that together promise a maximum of pleasure and a minimum of stress. Maybe it’s champagne at liftoff or a Michelin-starred restaurant, an accompanying reservation, in the lobby, a king-size bed, and marble-lined bathroom, or a butler to pack and unpack your luggage, etc.
INSPIRATIONS
“Adventure is a path. Real adventure – self-determined, self-motivated, often risky – forces you to have first-hand encounters with the world.
The world is the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth, and you will bear witness.”

Ticino is a canton apart: graceful, open, laissez-faire. This is the most glamorous of Swiss regions: the waterfront promenades of Lugano, Locarno, and Ascona contain a rich social mix of jet-set resorters among the tightly pruned trees, rhododendrons, and bobbing yachts. Yet a drive of a few miles brings the canton’s impoverished past into view.
“In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind – and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you.
Nothing will ever again be black-and-white.”
TRAVEL ADVICE
How to Pack
Going on vacation is the best. Not so fun? Trying to cram your cutest outfits into your suitcase. The best way to prevent creases and make the most of your space is to use the roll method. Lay tops face-down, fold in the sleeves, and roll from the bottom up. Once you’ve rolled everything, place pants and tops in your suitcase before shoes and accessories
Before travel
Smart travel starts before you even leave the house. If you’re traveling with kids, whether you’re flying or driving, some extra planning can go a long way. Make sure to pack plenty of games, movies, and music to keep children entertained for the long travel hours. Even though there might be snacks on the plane or fast food stops on the way, a hungry kid is a grumpy one.
Vacations shouldn’t be stressful.
Vacation time is precious, so how can you make the most out of it? Most people’s happiness levels dropped back, shortly after the trip, suggesting that anticipating the trip had a more impact on happiness than the trip itself. Here are a few tips: Savor the anticipation. Don’t over schedule. But do prepare. Avoid the work sandwich. Take lots of pictures, Make a vacation playlist.
