Each time I return, I look forward to a moscow mule with their homemade ginger beer at the Fairmont Orchid.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

  • We are not copywriters. We are travel advisors providing a very personal perspective on a destination that we know and love. This resource has been created to support you and your sales process specific to this destination. This information has been curated to create a resource. This Destination Insights Guide will not provide “copy / paste” information that should be included in a client itinerary. Think of these guides as “advisor cliff notes” to a destination.

  • This destination guide has been created based on one travel advisor’s experience and their professional opinions related to this destination. It’s possible that not everyone agrees with this advisor’s perspective and that’s okay! If you’re looking for a more general “guidebook style”, impartial information, a resource such as Travel42 may be preferable.

  • These details have been curated and are provided from a very specific perspective. When purchasing a Destination Insights Guide, it’s important to not only consider the destination or travel type that’s being provided but also who has created this content to ensure it’s a good match for what you’re looking for.

Undiscovered Sunsets was a long time in the making, even if I myself didn’t realize it. During my time at the University of Northern Iowa, I studied abroad in New Zealand. Upon graduating, I bought a one-way ticket to France, lived with a French family and studied with classmates from Turkey, China, Russia, Germany, Italy, and everywhere in between. In 2010 I began teaching English as a foreign language. This job quickly took me to China, where English teachers were in high demand and within three years, I began working in a 5-star hotel, speaking Mandarin throughout most of my day. In total, I lived abroad for 7 years.

I consider Undiscovered Sunsets to be the perfect mélange of my personal experience traveling the world and my professional experience working in the hospitality industry.

I look forward to designing your next adventure!
