A few weeks ago, I shared the story of designing a graduation trip through Greece for a family celebrating their daughter's high school graduation. 🎓🇬🇷 Now they're home—and I wanted to share how it turned out. It all started with one wish: 💙 Their daughter wanted to see the iconic whitewashed villages of Santorini. That dream became a 9-day journey through Greece for the entire family—parents and their three adult children—with stops in Athens, Naxos, and Santorini. The best part of my job is hearing what clients remember most. 🍴 "The first night in Athens with the food tour was great. Just enough time there and really saw all of Athens." 🚴 "The whole family really enjoyed the time on Naxos and the e-bike tour." 🍷 "Ending at the winery with the cooking class was a blast." And then there was my favorite comment: ✈️ "The transfers, flights and ferry ride were very seamless and made for pleasant travel." To me, that's what great travel design is all about. Behind that "seamless" experience were dozens of moving pieces—multiple flights, ferry schedules, private transfers, hotels across three islands, and countless details working together so the family could simply enjoy being together. ❤️ If you're celebrating a graduation, anniversary, retirement, or another milestone, consider making the journey part of the celebration. 📖 I also shared the full story behind this itinerary—and why each destination was chosen—on my blog. I'd love for you to read it: https://lnkd.in/gU3Qzwc7 💬 Have you ever celebrated a milestone with travel? If so, where did you go?
