One of my favorite views of the Azores. From the top of Terceira you can see a patchwork of green fields that make up the landscape across this beautiful island.

Truthfully there has never been a better time to plan a 2021 escape to the Azores. While continental Europe is seeing COVID cases spike of late, incidences remain very low in The Azores thanks to a stringent testing requirements. See the link in my bio to understand how @visitportugal is making travel safe again.

On the north shore of Terceira Island, sits a collection of natural pools. Powerful waves crash over the black lava rocks to create the Piscinas Naturales de Biscoitos. During the summer months locals come here to swim. Would you dip your toes in?

Somewhat surreal to walk down Rua Augusta in Lisbon and have it almost all to ourselves.

Lisbon is spectacular. And there is no better place to stay in the city than @tivoliavenidaliberdade

Not only is it luxurious and perfectly situated for exploring, it is extremely clean and I felt very safe.

Everyone was wearing a mask. In fact starting today in Lisbon it is mandatory to even wear mask outside.

Did you know that Portugal is the 3rd safest country on the Peace World Index? Plus Portugal was the first to be verified as part of the WTTC clean and safe program.

One might even make the argument that because Portugal was already perceived as a safe country and now with the additional certification, it puts them at the forefront of the first countries you should consider when travel resumes.

Forget about the beautiful landscape of the Azores

Forget about the beautiful landscape of the Azores, I came to feed the baby cows.

This farm has 100 jersey cows that produce the creamiest milk that is used to make Quejio Vaquinha, unbelievably good cheese.

Overlooking Monte Brazil on the island of Terceira. The views in the Azores just keep getting better and better.

Are you ready to plan a trip here yet? @tapairportugal flies to the Azores direct from Boston #azores2021

Smack in the middle of a hillside botanical garden, on the island of Terceira, you will find the @caparicaecolodge.

The property has six individual cabins named after a female Portuguese artist. Each space is decorated with original pieces from these Azorean artists. What a great way to have a unique, socially distanced experience while staying in the Azores.

The Azores is a visual buffet of color. Hydrangeas in shades of white, blue, pink, and purple line the island’s curved roadways. Around every twist and turn are stunning views like this.

The best way to see the Azores, especially if it is your first time here, is with a tour operator. As you can see, our guide Eduardo from @azoresgetaways showed us some of the most beautiful spots on the island.

Flying into the Azores on the @tapairportugal direct flight from Boston to Ponta Delgada.

This is my first flight and first international trip since the pandemic started. It was very smooth and I felt safe.

Before I left within 72 hours of departure I needed a COVID negative PCR test. I was asked to present this at the airport in Boston as well as when I landed in the Azores. I also needed to present a letter explaining that I am here on a business trip hosted by TAP Airlines.

Currently US citizens are not permitted to visit solely for tourism purposes. Hopefully that will change soon.

Follow along with me this week as I explore the Azores and know that when you are allowed to come here for vacation it is just a short 4.5 hour flight from Boston 🛫

Always beautiful no matter the season 🍁.

Could you imagine living at the Inn @shelburnefarms? It was the former family home of Dr. William Seward Webb and his wife, Lila Vanderbilt Webb. Part of their beautiful estate on the shores of Lake Champlain.

The last week of September is the best time to visit Cape Cod.

The days are warm.
The nights are cool.
The air is crisp.
The crowds are gone.
The beaches are empty.
Vacation rentals are cheaper.
The sunsets are spectacular.

You won’t find a better hotel room view in all of Camden. The balcony of the Curtis Island Suite at the Grand Harbor Inn looks out over the Penobscot Bay. Can you see yourself here with coffee or a glass of wine watching the boats, like the @schoonersurprise sail in and out of the harbor?

Travel feeds my soul. The need to explore is like an insatiable hunger. What you see is an unedited photo of a very happy traveler.

I am so grateful to have been invited to explore the @visitmaine this week and stay in several @migis_hotels along the coast.

I can confidently say that #Maine is taking COVID seriously. I felt comfortable and safe. While I spent a great deal of time outdoors enjoying long walks on the beach, sailing, playing tennis and more, I did stay in hotels, browse shops and eat in restaurants.

Choosing to travel right now has never felt like a more personal choice. If you are comfortable, I suggest a visit to Maine this fall. It is absolutely glorious here.

The best place to watch the sunset is from the Adirondack chairs on the front lawn @blackpointinn. This grand old hotel is perfectly perched on the hillside of overlooking the Ocean.

This extraordinary property has a little bit of everything. Two beaches, golf, tennis, spectacular oceanfront dinning, a roaring fireplace and tons of history. It is the kind of place where vacation memories are made and a spot you will want to return to time and again. It is just that special ⭐️

Take a walk out into the middle of the sea.

The Rockland Lighthouse sits at the end of a 7/8-mile long breakwater. It is a must do if you are staying at the @250mainhotel in town. On a clear day you can see the entire harbor and the Penobscot Bay.

We packed a picnic 🧺 and sat at the very end of the end of the breakwater under the lighthouse. Do check the tides though before you go. You don’t want to be out there at high tide.

Where can you find a pool overlooking the ocean?

It is a rarity for a hotel in Maine to have a pool, much less an infinity pool. This distinguishing feature is unique to the @innatoceansedge. Don’t miss a chance to visit in the early fall 🍁 to enjoy a dip in the refreshingly heated water #poolside #hotellife #hotelpool #luxurytravel

Hiking is always better with wine and cheese, right?

Thank you @experience_maine for the ‘cheese & wine treasure box’ that is filled with lots of local goodies including custom made wine glasses, a hand finished cheese board, wine, cheese, crackers and honey. It is the perfect complement to the unparalleled view from the top of Mount Battie.
