We’ve heard a lot of misconceptions about travel advisors: They’re expensive. They’re all the same. They take the fun out of trip-planning. If you already work with a Virtuoso advisor, you know these statements to be far from the truth. But for those who are new to this world (hello!), we thought it might be helpful to do a little myth-busting. Don’t just take it from us: We’ve also gathered some of our favorite stories from Virtuoso travelers about why they love their advisor. The pandemic has taught us a lot, including the fact that we’ll never take travel for granted again. And when it comes to something as valuable as your leisure time, we think you deserve to have it handled by the best.
• We’ve just discovered Ocean of Books, a Google Arts & Culture experiment that lets people explore more than 140,000 titles via clicking around a vintage map. (PS: Here’s what we’re reading this month.) • We’re obsessed with: Paravel’s new Aviator Grand suitcase. The company aims to be the world’s first 100 percent sustainable travel brand by the end of the year. • If you’re longing for a night out in NYC or a martini at The Savoy’s American Bar in London, I Miss My Bar lets you cue up some of that beloved ambience at home.
